Hi
I met someone today from JAE telling me how good his electric truck mount is . No he wasn'tselling it to me .
When I asked me how does he avoid the cicrcuit breakers poping up he told - easy - I plug it in the *ocker.Well, fair enough.
I have a Ninja 500 but I would like to buy a entry level TM ONLY because I have a bad back - nop other reason at all. Dragging hoses should be much easier the draging Ninja in those tiny corridors/staircases town houses in Auckland
I woudl liike to know what do you think about the electric tm and who are its suppliers . I shall import one by myself from the States, eventually
Thanks for your help
George

Thanks Cmaster, thanks a lot.
From what I can see the best solution for me will be the Euro truck mount because of its 220/240 V power installation the same we have here in New Zealand.
I am waiting for BANE CLEAN TO quote me the price.

Felini;
Well we have been building them for almost 30 years now!
Forward a e-mail to: http://www.cross-american@cac.net - www.cross-american@cac.net and request a "pre-view" of our brand new web page(s) and design and we'll forward that for your review.
Hope this helps.
BTW, Ross Craig (new Zealand) has five of our POWER BOOSTER Systems and loves them.
Good Fortune;

Hi Ed
You can see from my mails that I am hesitating between Bane Klean and Spitfire 3.2, both entry level truck mounts. I still don't know the price of both.
BTW, can you please tell me if Ross Craig is from Auckland and his contact so I can at least see your equipment. The link you gave to me doesn't work
Can you give me the price for Bane klean please Euromount
Thanks

Ross Craig is from Lower Hutt. I believe thT HE KNOWS AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT Electric Systems.
You want maximum performance w/o the tripping of breakers. That's a hassle.
Thank you, and the very best;

I am not sure of European electrical codes, but in North America, all household lighting and receptacles (unless they are dedicated) are fused at 15 amps, regardless of the voltage, this 15 amps must run your heater, blower pressure pump and line loss to the truck, I have seen some residential electrical systems running at close to that 15 amps, so how would you clean their carpet?, I don`t mean to squash a potential sale, but it is nice to be self suffecient, and if you carry a genny, why not just get a slide in tm...

Ed, How would you compare the effectiveness of a totally optioned out Recoil 3 to, say, a Boxxer 421 or 427? Performance, maintenance, etc? I'm not sure when I'll expand, but I want to plan for it. I'd rather have a "portable truckmount" if possible. |

Michael;
Many thanks for asking.
Well just moments ago (yes, really) I received a comment/testimoinal from our UK Distributor of our (CE approved)SCORPION-3 super-charged system (European model version of our popular RECOIL-3HP system), and here was his remarks:
A true testimonial from our UK distribution location:
Ed: You will be pleased to hear this This customer has been through 12 truck mounts and is semi retiring he tried the Scorpion-3 and said he could have saved plenty of money over the years had he known earlier.!!! He is currently running 150ft of 2” hose from it, ( he has my demo machine) Best regards Nick, UK |

Dude, Do yourself a favor and buy a REAL TM, 18hp-26hp, 36-45 blower.
I will NEVER go back to a electric unit. I've hade 4 different portys and 2 TM's...You will be so much happier with a REAL TM.
Don't waste your money. Some of what is said about ETM's is "HYPE".. Don't fall for it.

All you have to do is the Math on a 120 volt circuit all you can get is 1200 watts, #1, how hot could the water get? #2 How many hp can the pump and blower be? A shop vac will trip a breaker if it`s on the same cct as something else. For every 25` of standard extension cord you loose 1 volt, , when the volts go down the amperage goes up, blows fuses(or breakers) IMO you are only looking for trouble. ------------- It`s not how far you fall...it`s how high you bounce back up... |

Thermedix;
1200 watts per outlet? That boils down to a 10 amp max. per outlet and is alittle far fetched, IMHO, on a 120 outlet/line.
If your comments were directed toward our partcular system (one you haven't seen I'm sure), then I must comment with respect.
Generally speaking, you are close to being correct on many "generic portables" available in the market place today.......with ONE EXCEPTION. And, that exception is one that we have worked on for many, many years and have perfected it continually , especially over the past several years.
In this particular case and situation, we are speaking about 230/240 v and a much different designed system that was not only CE Approved but CE proven as well. You see, this organization will not allow anyone to "over-tax" any outlets period. Only maximum performance.

Ed,
You are correct, I am not familiar with your product, I am sure if you have spent years developing it, it works fine, I am a retired electrician and in North America most homes have 2 supplies for 220volt , the stove (40 amps) or the dryer (30 amps) do you pull out the appliances to gain access to these receptacles? The comment I made regarding the total wattage supplied to a receptacle (1200) refers to any receptacle on that circuit, if you heat the water electrically from the truck, you would require more than that just in heating, then the issue of the pump and blower, being motors, they are 746 watts per horse power.
I am not slamming your product, if you have figured out a way around all that, Great. Did you mean CSA approved?
In my experience, customers want a guy to pull up to the door and be totally self suffecient.

Get the 3.2.. f*gpro.. At 100-150' it will out perform a 3/3stage portable.. I have a 3/3stage..
Portables are for short hose runs for best dry times..

This post is what I'm talking about.. Somebody's on hallucinating drugs..
Want to clearify after useing 4 portys and 2 TMs there's no way in the world 3/3stages will perform anywhere near what the Boxxer 421 can deliver and that 21hp/45blower TM..
I've ran 3/3stage..2/3stage..2/2stage..2/3with2/2stage..
 "Therefore, let me say that the other TM's you had mentioned are very nice models; however....................I doubt that they would do better than our SCORPION-3"........ BS..!
Some people have NEVER ran TM's.. So how can YOU really doubt and compare..? You can't.. Unfortunately some ppl aren't keeping it in the trenches real world..!
