Many wholesalers have reco units for hire, or failing that subcontract the job to someone with more experience.

i use an aspen perisaltic,as it will syphon up 1 mtr,self priming,and has an overrun facility to ensure all gas is reclaimed,small,easy to carry on rooftops,and the 1/4 connectors are ideal,also it is ip55 rated-pulls about 12kg/hour

IM, I never thought of that...
But only 12 kg/h.
Hmm, what do you think it will do in push/pull mode?

Would save my back :D

Wet and dry Henry, bags the gas up nicely :D

Before I bought a reclaim unit, I used a freshly vacced cylinder in an esky (cooler, chilly-bin..) surrounded by dry ice and bathed in methylated spirits. ~-70C will pull most stuff out slowly.
