I am based in the outskirts on the NE side of Norwich, and have just relocated my workshop; so I am waiting for a new phone line to be put in.

However, I can be reached on 01603 435 199 until about 6-7pm most evenings or until midday on Saturdays.

My business is called Cargo Cycles, and I build cargo carrying bicycles, tricycles, quadricycles, and fixies, along with general steel fabrication, specialist tube manipulation and bending, and plywood forming. I have recently been making a lot of animal related steel fabrications: Dromedary & Bactrian Camel saddle frames, Mule pack frames, Llama pack frames and two Elephant Howdahs.

Camel saddle photos showing the fabrication work as it progresses, click on the image to see the slide show:

Love the pedivan, but I don't see how the pallet tool is supposed to work.
I use a claw hammer with a mallet. Ear defenders are a must though.

I am sorry that I've not been back sooner to this tread to answer the question about the Pallet bar: recently I've been up to my neck in work building the two pedal powered medicine show quad bikes, Elephant Howdah frames, and a very large production run of Pallet Reclamation Bars. I have also registered the design of the pallet reclamation bar and applied for a patent.

Here is a link to a short video of me using one of my Pallet bars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipQLy-0Pfag&feature=related

The double headed Pallet bars are £45 each plus £11.50 P&P (Parcelforce 48 with tracking) and are available from stock. payment by Cheque, Postal order, or paypal

They can be ordered by by calling:01603 435199 or 07758 786036. email; cargo-cycles@live.co.uk
