The Water Fed Pole Quad


Kevin James has a new ride - and it isn't your normal vehicle for a window cleaner! Kevin of "Life on a Ledge window cleaning" operates on the Somerset/Wiltshire border servicing the main towns: Bath, Bradford on Avon, Frome, Westbury and Trowbridge. He uses a quad (Can-Am 800) that is capable of towing 500 kilos - more than enough to clean the houses of the 850 residential clients he services. In fact he states that he now needs 1000 clients to fill five days a week on a six week turnaround with the use of the water fed pole! Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Kevin says "the quad is completely road legal, taxed as PLG, not agricultural." "The bike carries 120 kilos on rear with 40 kilos on the front & it has an Omnipole Back Pack on the front, with an external leisure battery that is charged via split relay off the bikes electrics - I only have to charge the battery every 10 days!" He adds it "really suits residential work in the UK & customers dont mind me parking in their drives or lawns - I used to spend £35 a week on petrol (Volvo 2 litre estate with trailer) but now I'm down to £20."
