A Guide to Choose Mobile Pressure Washers

Mobile pressure washers are useful machines for cleaning large buildings and big areas. Cleaning companies find these machines handy for a variety of commercial cleaning jobs. The following are some tips to select the best portable pressure washing machines.

Electric or Gasoline?

Pressure washing machines can be powered by an electric motor or fuelled by a combustion engine. The latter requires gasoline, propane, or diesel as fuels. There are no obvious differences between these two types of machines in terms of efficiency and pressure levels. However, electric pressure washers are ideal for indoor applications due to lack of exhaust production, where fuel powered pressure washers are mobile for using outdoors.

The problem with electric machines is related to the trouble of finding a source of electricity near the area to be cleaned. If the cleaning process is to be carried out inside or near a building, the operator will be able to find a plug point. However, finding an outlet for electricity is not as easy in outdoor settings. It is better to choose gas mobile pressure washers to avoid the trouble of finding an electric socket near the area.

Electric pressure cleaners may also be used with long hose technologies, enabling operators to place the system near an electrical outlet while using up to 300 feet of pressure hose to reach the application. Long Hose Technology and other advanced features are available at Daimer®, the industry's premier pressure washer supplier.

Truck Mounted or Wheel Attached?

For industrial and commercial use, mobile pressure washers that can be mounted on a truck or trailer are better, as these machines offer greater mobility and convenience. However, if you do not plan on traveling over large areas, wheel attached pressure washing machines will work just as well.

Tri-Mode Machines

Daimer®, a popular supplier of cleaning products, offers tri-mode mobile pressure washers in its Super Max™ series. These machines can provide cold water, hot water, and steam output for various applications.
