Trailer Setup

By mounting a pressure washer on a trailer, you can customize your pressure-washing mobile station to tackle almost any surface! From residential driveways to industrial warehouse floors, pressure washer trailers come decked out with precision manifolds and professional-grade propulsion systems that make your setup truly customized. If you want to take your pressure washing game to the next level, consider investing in a pressure washer trailer. Here are two trailer examples, one open and one closed. 

Open Pressure Washer Trailer:

With a pressure washer trailer setup, you get the bonus of being able to work without electricity and still be able to tackle even the toughest grease, grime, and oil. A pressure washer trailer is always worth the investment! Make sure it includes this hot water pressure washer, the RK-43 Commercial Hot Water Pressure Washer Series. Now that’s a pressure washer that will stand up to any job! 

Closed Pressure Washer Trailer:

While durability and protection for your investment rank as the top two concerns for power wash contractors, there’s a lot more to consider. Most important among these is determining the load limit of the pressure washer trailer. It pays to know how much weight your equipment needs to hold, including all the extra weight from transporting chemicals and accessories and how much water you’ll need to stow away. Remember, water weight adds up quickly! 8.34 LBS for each gallon.

Always consider the weight restrictions and requirements of the vehicle you plan to tow your pressure washer trailers. And the best part is if you brand your trailer – it will also work as great advertising for your business!
