Roof Cleaning Manassas Park by American-ProTech
Permalink  
 


We brought the camera along again and took a picture immediately after a roof restoration of this nice ranch home in Manassas Park, Virginia, Prince William County.

Our 42' hydraulic lift prevented the need to even set foot on the roof as is often the case.  It'll look even better after a good rain or two.  As usual, the client was very pleased with the results.

The ground technician in the back of the truck is the real boss.  Ain't she cute?  aww

Ted, Heres an idea...my rental place did this for me and its great. (dont take offense)

You can have a hose cut and attached to the boom with qc. this way you never have to worry about getting you hose caught on the gutters or anything. It can be attached directly to the boom itself, just jump in the bucket with your wand and a 3-4' section and connect. I worked for a large cable company and was a maintenance tech. we had air hoses ran the same way for air drills and saws, we switching cable, strand, fiber after a new pole was installed. Kinda makes life nice.
(Better ask the Boss lady first)

The rental place did this for me cause I pinched a hose in the lift....ouch


By the way, nice roof cleaning!!

Thanks Dwayne, and no worries about taking offense - I have thick skin  biggrin

I've seen other bucket trucks with air hoses in the bucket (almost bought one) like you've mentioned and mine has a hydraulic 'connection' at the bucket as well as 120v AC.  But..... beats me how you could run a chemical hose that would telescope with the upper boom, but you betcha I'll be looking in to it!  There are a lot of mods that I want to do, but your idea has just been moved up to the top of the list. Thanks again.

It's a simple little thing called a spring.

Lets say you have a 38' boom fully extended. Boom all the way out and measure to the knuckle, you will not be attaching to the extension but to the bucket and the outer shaft where the boom inserts. At the knuckle you would loop the hose with a flexible spring around it and attach the spring to the knuckle. This would ensure a kink free loop and keep it out of the pivot point.

Another idea is to have a self reeling air hose reel at the knuckle point to reel in and out. Since I do not have one available to take picture of, I will keep my eye out online.

One last idea is to contact Telsa or whomever makes the bucket and ask where the nearest service center is and drive to them.

You would be 10 steps ahead of your competition.
