Pity about this but I tried to get a few photos but got thrown out for not getting their permission! Was on holiday and was walking through a shopping centre that was getting a refurb. There were a group of tilers doing a large floor with large format tiles. Some were mixing and pouring slc on large areas, but it was their system that intrigued me. They had 2 wheelie bins and had drilled a hole around 20mm at bottom centre with rubber sink plug hole and chain in it. They mixed slc in buckets then poured into bins until each bin had around 6 mixed bags in it, then they wheeled over to the areas needing attention then pulled plug out and walked around with wheelie bin to direct flow where required. Another 2 had on spiked shoes and close gap rakes to push screed around. Thought it was pretty ingenious, then I saw another 2 tilers spreading https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ with steel snow shovels that they had grinded to give teeth to and mixed the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ in big plastic bins full, they put the shovels in to get it loaded up then went along in line to create stretches! Maybe they were bin men in another life!!
