I had a vader, and we were washing 53 foot trailers as fast as that shows. I would have a guy pull out every other trailers, I would run the machine around them, twice, and recapture the water, and move on to the next trailer. It was slick, but, you had to compensate and be prepared for breakdowns. I ended up selling it back to the manufacturer, after using it about three years. They started remanufacturing them for a while, instead of building new ones.
 
I do not do fleet work but I read your post. What exactly is 2 stepping? Cotton Eyed Joe
 
I think it is a great idea, too bad the other brand was not as durable.

You would think that maybe someone would make something that would last or maybe not enough demand?
 
I have one too (vader) had to do some extensive re-engineering to fix the breakdown issues. It is a big labor saver except for having to move all the trailers, if you can get the customer to set them up for you it is worth it, otherwise it can take longer to wash.
 
Paul and Scott, in an average year, what kind of $ would be spent in maintaining the Vader? Just curious.
 
It appears to be an overly engineered wheel to me :big_boss:
