I'm looking for a truck skid
What's the perfect set up for a truck skid? Would you go with a pressure washer, then a 12v set up, booster pump set up or air compressor set up. What size pressure washer would you go with?
What I mean is, do you have the perfect residential/lite commercial set up that you use and duplicate each time you need a new rig? What's that perfect truck mount skid for you? May help me in having mine build.
Here's my thoughts and you can let me know yours
For pressure cleaning concrete and brick
- 5.5gpm, 3500psi washer
- 100g buffer
For soft washing
- 12v pump
- 100g chem tank plumbed to 12v system and proportioner
- booster pump for rinsing
- tool box
- ladder rack
- hose reels: 18" for water supply, 12" for chem 12" for pressure hose
My concerns with this rig (let me know if they are legitimate
The only concern is with the 12v system being able to reach to the peaks of 2-3 story houses, so a ladder would be needed. That is why I like downstreaming so much. You are applying chemical and rising with the same hose, plus it can reach high places, no ladders.
However I do want to do the soft washing and to have a separate hose for rinsing because it keeps two guys busy doing something: one applying chem and one rinsing.
The other option would be:
- 5.5gpm, 3500psi washer set up with down streaming
- 100g buffer
- 50g down stream tank
For soft washing
- 12v pump
- 50g chem tank plumbed to 12v system and proportioner
- booster pump for rinsing
- tool box
- ladder rack
- hose reels: 18" for water supply, 12" for chem 12" for pressure hose
If I go this direction I end up saying screw soft washing the houses and just down stream everything.
My desire is to use a soft wash system that reaches high, plus a rinse system that rinses high, this way I don't need ladders. And to have a pressure washer ready for brick and concrete work.
What's your thoughts. Share your favorite set up and some photos. Help me out. It'll help with the direction I take with my business.
