Does the handle detach?

You could remove the handle, but that will defeat the purpose of how the Leif Cart is intended to function. 

Is the Sorbo bucket a little bigger than the comparable Ettore bucket? The reason I ask being, I cannot easily fit my 18” Sorbo strip washer into the Ettore bucket without turning it diagonally, it won’t fit straight across sideways. Final point in question, will my Sorbo strip washer fit easily into the Sorbo bucket without the ends wedging on the sides of the bucket?

Both the Ettore and Sörbo buckets feature 19 inch openings to accommodate 18 inch scrubbers. The issue you are facing lies with the scrubber sleeve itself being slightly bulkier by comparison to other sleeves. While the complete scrubber will fit in the top third of the bucket, to effectively dunk it, it will need to be turned diagonally. 

What’s the bucket size?

The Sörbo Leif cart only accommodates 6-gallon Sörbo or Pulex buckets. 

Will the side clamp hold a Xero trad pole?

Hi! This cart does not feature a side clamp. If you are looking for a cart to hold more than a bucket, the Waterboy Window Cleaning Cart might be a better option for you.

What are the dimensions of the brackets (distance) apart for the bucket

This cart is designed to accomodate the Sörbo Bucket, handle insert, which measures about 20 1/2 inches.

Sorbo Leif cart : How big is the shipping package that this cart comes in? Do you put it together? or does it come complete in a great big box? Dimensions of the box would be very helpful Thanks

Hi Tom, this comes disassembled in a medium sized box. The dimensions of the product when it is built are 43" x 13.5" x 26". The box size is 24" x 24" x 12".
