What are the benefits of this opposed to the g4 also is there any thing it can't do that g4 can. I know it's got a good pumping distance of 50m and up to 60lpm and it's cheaper . Anybody used one? Or used both . ? Cheers
 
Blones did a clip with the normal ritmo pumping site mix render will the xl do that ? Any used ones cuming up for sale ?
 
I think Goody had 1 and sold it on. A modern version of the Monojet? I think it has dual voltage but whether you can pump heavy materials in 240v? I am not sure. It will be easier to move around than a G4 and not having a star wheel then less strain on a generator.

My Monojet may be going soon for a Ritmo but if I need go back to 3 phrase then yes I would consider the Xl as those G4 seem a bit bulky and heavy to me.
 
Kinda cash u be looking at for ur monojet. They are big n bulky but it never posed any major issues . Other than in and out the van and that's because we didn't have any ramps
 
Your right about the G4 Rigs, they are a fair old unit and built like a tank with wheels that go anywhere but forward.

Thats what I like about the G4,G5 and mono jet, built like the Bismark. Heavier than the more modern units which are more plastic and tin but bullet proof. Really like my mono jet but getting the generator on and off my pick up takes some doing, 225kg!

I like the pumping power on those big gables. Maybe the ritmo may have to be put on the 1st or second lift would,t want it to trip out, just get a fit ten a penny to get 1 bag up per minute. Fu8k em!
 
Sounds as if your going the same way as me, the G4 is great on large elevations but lugging it is a nuisance and plugging in to the customers power is very appealing with the Ritmos. If we can,we leave the genny in the van so its one left bollock to burst.
 
I don't think there would much difference in size and weight between the XL and mono jet but being on two wheels makes it easy to move around. Even taking it to bits is not hard but the motor weighs a bit. I had to get it up a scaffold once to get around the back. Took 2 to pull the motor up the ladder with a rope. I suppose being able to slow the motor down on the Ritmo's is another bonus. Saves having to change the r&s's.

Hi Andy, I was wondering what is better pft powercoat or m-tec100? I whant use only for spray multi finish
 
Im using my ritmo all the time at the moment spraying mono, im doing a 1000m job of rend aid and weber pral, had it plugged into the drying so not even using a genny, even had about 60m of cable on today and still had it on speed 10 :)

can you shed any light on the xl for me ? can it pum site mix like what ian showed with a ritmo have u used onne ? Wats ur opinion ?
 
I got to be honest i dont know much about the XL as there has never been much call for it, technically it should be able to do everything that the ritmo M and L can do apart from spray skim

Out of interest y could it not b set up for skimming ? I saw some guys spraying the primer for mp75 think it was kemlar or sumet can you do that with the xl ?
