What it's for

  • Truck- or trailer-mounted rigs for mobile pressure washing
  • Job sites with no power
  • Contractors who need 4,000 PSI hot water (1270SS)

What it's not for

  • Running inside a closed building: it burns gasoline and oil
  • Fleet volume above 5.6 GPM: look at the HSS diesel skids

Before it's installed

  • A 12V battery is required on every model and is not supplied
  • Mounting: roll cage is standard; a Portagear wheel and handle kit is an option
  • Size: 45 x 33 x 52 inches, 744 to 905 lb shipping

What are you cleaning?

Tell us the job in your own words. A person at the counter calls you and starts with the problem. Nobody pitches a machine until we understand the job.

(818) 252-0706

How do we reach you? A phone or an email is enough.
A few more questions (optional)
A dead burner, a citation, a bid due Friday. Your words.
Downtime, labor, a lost bid. A rough idea is fine.
Brand, model, age if you know it.

Here's what happens next: The Pacoima counter calls you within one business hour. The call is 15 minutes. We ask what's going wrong, how you plan to pay, and who else weighs in. At the end we set a next step, or tell you straight that we're not the right shop. Nobody pitches anything until we understand the job.
