[QUOTE="xcvator, post: 308186, member: 8322"] I'm thinking about a small highbanker, and I mean small, 150mm wide and maybe 700/800 long. Top tier about 500mm long with a hood over top 100mm Pump outlet directed up under the hood Pump would be about 1100gph 12v bilge pump Skid plate under grizzley area to direct max flow over full length of the sluice 300mm slick area on bottom then expanded mesh over miners moss (like a Walbanker ) Reasons for my thinking along these lines. 1/ I'm 70 years old and not the fittest in the world, big sluice would be a waste of time 2/ I can run a 3aph bilge pump for 3 maybe 4 hours off of a 30ah sealed battery( about 8 kg's) which I can charge up from my car 3/ This can all be packed into a plastic crate and lugged around on a collapsable hand trolley within 100/200 metre distance by me 4/ I'm paranoid about not carrying petrol inside a vehicle ( too dangerous for me ) so I really don't want a 2 or 4 stroke pump Recommendations please. Should I pre classify with a bucket 1st cheers Keith [/QUOTE]
