Dream/best setup

[Acp]

are they still making aero techs? looks like the newest one is a 2016

 

[Trip Moses]

Do you think the new 870 would suck as good as the aerotech

idk. Should be close.

No


But more than good enough in all but 2 wand/ ling run situations

Of course

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Can any truckmount mechanic work on an aerotech

Any truckmount mechanic is a part throwing moron these days.


Take it to a 50+ year old farm vehicle repair dude

Chevy W4500... 13,500 VGW... You can't even feel the weight even with a full tank.. Engine has a ton of power.. Runs on regular gas.. Machine has a fuel tap in tank... 150 gallon waste tank....live fresh water and A. P. O. lines.. All the room you will ever need for anything.....

What's the new CDS from AeroTECH like Mikey?

 

[Papa John]

Nice rigs @Jim Martin.
Parking and low handing trees on sidewalks are issues I have to deal with in SF.
SO I think I have my dream machine for my service area.
It's a 370 in a low roof, short wheelbase transit with a freshwater tank.
I'm a former V/AT and Sprinter owner.- I don't recommend MBenz.

I'm a little worried that changing blower belts will be a PIA- But I haven't watched the howto video yet.

Agree.... Be careful l with the Benz... They are a maintenence nightmare after so many miles and it will nickel and dime you to death... I know 3 really really good diesel mechanics that all agree... After so many miles it is the worst service truck out there..

I personally would like to find out how much this truck would cost in four-wheel-drive

 

[MerCrewser]

My mid roof transit/Everest 650 is all I’d ever want. Standing headroom and I can go through any drive thru and park in my garage. 75% of my solo residentials, the machine is running on the upholstery setting.

i have no idea if this is true but I feel that puts a load on the machine or maybe un-needed Stress cleaning carpet on upholstery

Pretty.

I wouldn't say my little astro van cds is my dream unit but it's the most practical unit I've had for the city. Has enough room for a portable and accessories and gets into 6' 4" parkade. Best of both worlds, truck mount and portable. I wish they still made astrovans, I might just buy another one.

I agree, I love that setup also. It's a perfect setup for a technician also

I keep saying it's my back up unit but I find myself using it more and more. Very simple unit, just swapped out the heat exchanger for another one that I insulated with spray foam. With a 6 flow wand I am averaging 205-210 degrees f. Good enough.

Yes they do. I have a 2019, 2020 and I’m picking up a 2021 in about 3 weeks

What do you need a truckmount mechanic for? You mean the cat pump or blower? Sure. Isuzu handles the truck. Warranty is 200,000 miles

Gorilla Truck Box

I love it, i want one

 

[BIG WOOD]

I don't see any benefit over a box truck with a cab over that turns on a dime and is super friendly to do maintenance work on

 

[Chris A]

The mid roof transits and 570s that the guys use are my favorite setups I've ever run, I'm 6'3" and can kinda stand up in it, and there's tons of room to throw rugs on top of the machine and reels. My van is a low roof and it's great other than I can't walk into it

Wheelbase of a school bus.

Wheelbase of a school bus.

Yeah. It’s enormous. I would not want to drive it.

 

[Nomad74]

I want a Paramotor..... What could go wrong....

could get your mustache caught in the blades.

It’s a true hazard.

pretty cool but would be a pain to drive. that thing needs like 100ft wide space to do a u turn

the w3500s/NPR spin circles on the back wheels

 

[Acp]

Where do you buy an aero tech right now? can you lease them like a butler?

 

[Acp]

Yes they do. I have a 2019, 2020 and I’m picking up a 2021 in about 3 weeks

Nice, are you able to lease them? Were looking for a new truck now. Considering butler but we want to stick with our current big box truck image, and I don't really like the butler box trucks or the price... its almost equal to an aerotech
