I will say something Tom. I remember back in 2019 ish when you were stood on a balcony when doing a domestic job and said there is a whole world out there and you want a slice of that pie and looking at what you have achieved since proves you want the whole thing and you are well on the way to getting it. Well done Tom 👏 it's better to go all in or go home.

I really think it would be worth having AED defibrillators on all your trucks but especially the bucket truck as you are going to be working in industrial high voltage areas and on the railways. AEDs are lifesaving pieces of kit and you never know when you or someone else might need it…

you absolutely need cordless impact wrench and set of sockets in your bucket truck.

You might want to move the paperwork from just inside the door. It's gonna get soaked the first job you go to when it's raining

Isn't it a good idea to install an AED, especially in this van, because of the remote operation, high voltage, etc. An AED can be really beneficial after a high voltage shock...

Bucket Trucks are best fun when you are single crewed and up in the bucket and the local youth rock your van side to side (it's like Alton Towers but without the expensive entry ticket)

Love the recent videos. Most vans I see have a mountain of receipts, Sun newspapers and empty cans on the dash. This is like a military operation on wheels.

Tom's favourite lines: 'In fact I'll show you' 'Give me 2 minutes and I'll be back with you' 'I'll leave the link down below in the description'

Being from the US, I do not understand half the things Tom is saying, but it's always interesting to watch.

I am not electrician nor a business owner however , your example of how you conduct yourself ,your business decisions and the reasoning behind it ,models my thinking almost to a tee. Treat yourself ,your associates ,your business and your clients , with as much professionalism as you can muster .Get proper education for the tasks you intend to perform . Buy quality equipment and don't half ass it .Train quality associates to do quality work ...success is practically handed to you. ( Yes ,with very hard work and long hours ) . Keep doing what you're doing Thomas . Looking forward to seeing future growth and further success for you and the Nagy team !!! Cheers from Canada !!!!

Its a big investment tom , but your doing the right thing to try and get out of the domestic work ! too much undercutting & customers want everything cheap

Don’t forget your piss pan/bottle (wide mouth sports bottle works a treat) for when you’re caught short somewhere… How long before the hand wash drain gets modified to exit through the bottom of the van?😉

Cone mounted signs would be perfect for your van mate, small light and compact

If you have dead locks on the van I would make sure they are used when the vans is ticking over for the mewp because I know a company who’s staff got distracted by some people trying to start a fight and then another member of the group robbed the tools from side door of the van. It happened down the round from you in Neasden.

next thing you know, you'll have to get a fiber splicing fuser & related equipment for the CCTV stuff also, you're missing an expresso machine in there :-) the 2 man bucket is very useful to carry the stuff you have to install at the top of the pole of whatever

Great post as always Tom. I’m a joiner and carpenter in London and went in to contracting when you were really getting established (2017) and have fallen well behind in terms of establishing a business instead of a self employed job. I’ve regretted that decision in a sense but was the correct thing at the time for my family. The truck is lovely but I listen out for the business and financial aspects more. It’s great to see you pushing on and developing, good luck!

We are looking at replacing vehicles soon, the swing out lifter looks real handy, we have spare parts of 100kg each and getting these in is a giant pita

Great van and lift. Can't wait to see more of it in action. One word of caution at night and the big lights, watch out to not blind oncoming traffic with the off road lights up high on the back. 😎😲

an idea with the issue of how much space the signs take up, use the foldable signs, then it will take up a lot less space giving you more room and it still does what it's meant to.

These regular Monday uploads make my Mondays better! Really enjoy your stuff Tom 👍

20:22 Oh the PLCs! That looks nice. I remember crawling into many panels doing work at car and truck plants in the mid 90's.

I am constantly amazed at what Sortimo can do!

Hope you have excellent security protection on board Tom.

You’ll never die wondering mate. Hats off to you sir!

Must be different from UK to US because our Ford Transits come standard with A/C on their bucket truck models. But it's now an OSHA requirement too. I work on the roads for a living and I'm in the Pacific NW so we got similar weather to the UK. My dump truck doesn't have A/C as it was ordered before the law change. It is miserable in the spring and summer especially if you're doing something like pulling shoulders where we are moving very slowly. Kudos to you for making a/c a priority. Your crews will thank you.

Great set up, fascinating seeing your business progress. I looked at getting an electric Master as Renault didn’t do an EV Trafic. The quoted range was 75miles but with a real world range of 50 miles! Also £60K plus, didn’t make sense financially or practically. Ended up with a diesel Trafic, and it’s been great so far.

Love this channel I ain’t even a sparky

Enjoying all the new content! Not bothered the topic specifically, I'm just glad there's more to see

Tom you could put out absolute anything and id watch it

12 thumbs down? must be the competition feeling worried. best of luck Tom with the new branch of the Nagy empire

Every time I buy a vehicle I always find myself later on thinking "I wish I had opted for [x]." But you're right, you have to draw the line somewhere.

Great piece of kit Tom! Talking about those Van battery problems - I bet this mewp has a bigger battery because of all the extras to a regular Renault master.. I’m not an auto electrician either! But I do know that they do put extra batteries/ heavy duty for sound systems campers BT vans etc Maybe that’s why the standard batteries keep dying?

17:56 - For plastic and thin metal, do yourself a favour and get some step drills instead. Two or three will do the job of a full set of hole saws, they're easier to use, and they leave a better finish.

7:38 Nice touch that (lights come on when door is opened) real nice. It's the little things that make life a lot easier. £75,000 for the van, no problem. £90 for a lid, *ouch,* that hurts. 😂 (I know what you mean though)

Good vid. Very inciteful and - you must be very proud! looks lovely and well planned and ship shape! Two things. Put your watch on the correct wrist and CO2 isn't the primary indoor risk of running an engine - it's CO. A deadly mistake to make as the symptoms are very different.

Hi 👋🏻 Tom. Absolutely fantastic walk round and a super smart bucket truck 🤩

I would like to see a video on how to use the lift on the van. A step by step on everything you do to use it.

Tom why don’t you try getting the signs which attach to cones massive space saver and fully legal with the red book. You can get them on 450 and 750 cones might be worth an investment.

Keep up the good work on here mate form Greg bouchard

The thing you need most is a jump starter, even one of the small little noco jump starter cause there is chances of draining your battery

I bought a new berlingo last year, and got a quote for sortimo drawers and the false floor, so it was 3 drawers, 1 metre by 500 mm, and the floor on top, they wanted £2000, I got a set, like new on e Bay for £400, with all the fittings fitted them myself in a day and did the floor, I keep all my cordless bosch tools in there, as the box's take up too much room. I think £2000 is way over the top for 3 drawers. So anyone thinking of fitting them, look on e Bay first.

What a fantastic setup. Looking forward to seeing it put to use.

With the MEWP, winch, full tank of fuel, driver, passenger & racking what payload is left? Ahd how much has to be over which axle? The DVSA know most MEWPs run over weight and like to pull then on road side inspections, remember the driver and company can get points / fines for running over weight and they go on each axle and overall weight so the driver could end up with 3 probation issues against them. As you are running commercially with the van it being over 3.5t do you have an o'licence? If running it as plant you can't carry waste and you can only do your own work ( only suitable for councils that look after thier own lighting or BT). Also the driver will need to be on tachograph. Pulling DNO fuses is another situation that requires appropriate training. Look up G39 certification. (Good luck getting 80amp fuses in standard street lighting cutouts 😉) The cones need to a minimum of 450mm even at 30mph I love how you like your kit but i suspect you are trying to do to much with the van. You should streemline the MEWP for its basic work and use one of your other vans as a support vehicle.

Great piece of kit Tom. Looking forward to seeing it in action, so you can dump all the domestic stuff.

Sorry but black isn’t suitable for road work at night,,,good luck to you feller I’m amazed how far you have come but you definitely deserve it…

Back in the States I worked out of a van doing 2-way radio repairs out in the field. What I wish I had was one of those hot water sinks! Can you supply me with a link there in the UK that sells the hot water sink as well as the soap dispenser. I am still out as to the solid bulkhead dividers on these commercial vans. Its great for security but at times I would like the ability to access the work area from the cab. The dividers sold in the states come in various configurations solid, expanded metal upper area, with door or without and various locking options for the doors. The interrior of the work area is very nice however my preference is white to distribute my work lighting inside the van. One needs all the lighting one can get when working on electronics out in the field. Even went as far as to adding an Espar diesel heater for those cold Midwest winters (wont buy Chinesium junk).

You should get a storage case for your insulated gloves most companies here in Ireland make it a requirement to stop them getting damaged and torn similar to what you mentioned for the harnesses.

As a contractor I tip my hat , not many a fellow tells it as straght as naggy does.

You've done a great job on this van 👍 it's mine blowing how much you can have definitely done the right choice drawing the line. Wireless camera i need one of them

Really interesting vid. I enjoyed the thought processes you discussed about the van fit out and some of the price details too. Can’t wait to see some of the jobs you do with this.

So glad to see more and more content Tom… really happy to see you pop up in my notifications all the time lately… you do right to get out of the domestic sector mate, I heard an ad on the radio up here in County Durham for an electric company offering a full house rewrite in two days or less and they said from as little as £1799.00 I sh*t you not… this is why hard working and genuinely skilled trade people such as yourself and your staff are finding it hard in the domestic sectors of the trades because you get companies like that undercutting and using shoddy workers with little to zero skills on a job that should be done by someone with a few years on the job under their belts at least. Hope you manage to come through on the other side and flourish for many many years to come because my life wouldn’t be the same without my fix or videos from Thomas Nagy and Co…

Make a metal cradle with all the signs and use the boom lift to load it in. No need to run back and forth to load everything.

Love the van tour 😎

Just worth pointing out that the Commerical Operators licence has now been fazed out and replaced with the European regulations so anyone can undertake commercial work without a licence :). They now have new licences for specific use cases but if you've got a small enough drone, you can fly nearly anywhere :)

I recommend collapsable/roll up signs for your van just like the ones the police use just for road work.

Must be great working for you Tom. You've spared no expense. Fucking legend. You should upgrade that washing to station and get a bidet sorted

Time to get the Nagy uniforms on order!

That's a class van deadly set up

another great video!! love the new truck!

Really interesting Tom. Have you thought about bringing a second stream of the cameras surrounding the van to a screen above the work surface? It would give a better idea of what’s going on outside for anyone working in the van. Also isn’t the paperwork by the door going to get soaked in the good old British rain?

Mate, get yourself a solo smoke pole instead of those sabres, that way you get the thermal tester too and you don't need a ladder for warehouse tests

Finally been waiting all day for this :)

That van is a weapon!!! Lad!!! I started the vid with a semi and then went from 6 to 12 within the first minute. On a serious note great content, loving the regular videos 👍

Impressive vehicle with all the varied tools etc.

Really impressive van, well thought out and kitted! Only thing I can think of it missing is a kettle for a cup of coffee while working!

Absolutely love the video and attention to details 🙂

Great van, cant wait to see the van in use and what you can do with it. Can you please post the links for the camera set up/rear LEDs and radio system. I like the idea of using the network and its flexibility. Thanks

Another great video has always Thomas love the new wheels on the bucket truck bet its not done much mileage yet

Absolutely superb sir

Seen a van in Cwmbran over the weekend, bit of a long commute for someone, keep up the good work.

Once you get going it would be interesting if you can show use about the DNO side of street lighting and highways

Would be cool to have a Boom lift you can tow behind any Van to bring to a job site. Then you could have way more options and not rely on a single Van. I watched a couple videos and seems to hitch and unhitching is pretty quick.

It will be interesting to see what changes you make after using it for a year.

Great vid Tom. Can you do a vid going through all the accreditation’s etc you needed to get into highways. Thank you.

I think I would have the mini nuclear reactor upgrade to power the truck. Suppose there would be push back on that too. 😆 love watching you grow the business. 👍🏽

If I might make an suggestion get the guardian angle lights for your cones they are better on the batteries and can be seen better.

I can't believe you get all of that truck for the price of a new black cab!

Excellence content once again, looking forward to seeing it in action.

What’s the betting Tom sorted those sds bits as soon as the camera stopped rolling 🤣

The drops from the head to the cutout is almost always in T&E

I have the same van , they are nice vans but just make sure you do some motor way miles because you will have problems with dpf . I have have had a blocked dpf at 5k miles and now the same at 9.5k . The dpfs are small and get blocked quick .

All the law and regulations with drones changed the beginning of this year might want to make sure your license is still valid

I love the organisation. I'd be all over labeling it up the draws etc. Do your employees put everything back ok? I've found you need to label everything otherwise nothing goes away properly

Just out of curiosity Tom, Have you got clients lined up for the highway work.. or are you just taking your chances? Anyhow good luck. You & Residual current are putting out some decent content.

That's funny, my F350 pickup truck is 8700 lbs empty sitting there with nothing in it. Everything is bigger in Texas! 😁

Cyclists spend north of 125 GBP for racing helmets (your regular road helmet and not an Aero design). Motorcycle helmets are similarly priced (dirt cheap models and models over 200 GBP). A hard hat with an integrated visor only costing 90 GBP feels inline with the industry.

can i make a suggestion putting a first aid sign above the first aid kit so as to make it readily identifiable in an emergency

Such an inspiration. Keep up the good work!

Would you fight delroy the spark in a steel cage?

That is one cool 😎 van .... Nice

Looks good but sorry where's the tea/coffee maker for the cold late nights.

Can you show us setting up the boom and controlling it

I was thinking ... if you had a small trailer to put all the signage in ..and keep in... it would be easy to hook on and go....but then it may not be the best idea in small cramped areas...

Fuck yeah! A new instalment....Brew ready, UberEats order just arrived.....let's go!

6:50 camera in the dash, nope, a monitor in the dash and a camera on the back of the renault.

If that van is plated at over 3,500kg's, you may need an operators license, tachograph, drivers cpc, operators cpc, and a C1 driving license.

You'll need a fire extinguisher in the van for highway work, if you haven't got one already.

Sure I seen one of your vans in Cwmbran last week Thursday I think ?

you should get rechargable 6V lantern batteries

Great video,not sure if your aware your harness is only valid for 5yrs then it should be renewed or safety checked,we had this issue come up on a job
