Mobile pressure washers offer a great deal of flexibility and ease of use to cleaning workers. Portable pressure washing machines come in various models. To get the full range of benefits of these machines, it is important to select the right mobile pressure washers from Daimer®. The following tips will help you make a good choice.

Power Source
The first thing to ask about when buying a portable pressure washing machine is its source of power. Power washers normally have four sources of power: electricity, propane, gasoline, and diesel. Operators normally choose fuel powered machines for cleaning outdoors and around a variety of different areas where electricity may not always be available. However, electric machines can be used outdoors with a generator. Machines powered by electricity are more commonly used for indoor cleaning, as outlets are abundant and electric machines do not produce as much noise and no exhaust fumes like fuel powered machines.

Type of Mobility
Daimer® offers mobile pressure washers with wheels and trailer mount options. For moving across a small area, wheel mounted machines can be used. To transport the machine across longer distances, the wheels can be detached and the machine can be mounted onto a trailer.

Mobile pressure washer Super Max™ 12500 GE, offer tri-mode capabilities. This means the machine can be used as a cold water, hot water, and steam pressure washer. Such versatility helps the operator complete a much larger range of cleaning applications and to reduce the need for heating fuel when necessary.

Things to Check When Buying Mobile Pressure Washers

The use of mobile pressure washers is considerably different from that of stationary machines. People normally buy portable cleaning machines for ease of use and the extra options these machines offer. However, when it comes to buying portable machines, many people look for the same things they look for in stationary machines. The considerations for buying a portable cleaning machine must be different from that of buying a stationary cleaning machine.

The following are some tips that would help a prospective buyer find the best mobile pressure washers.

Source of Power
Normally, pressure washing machines have one of four power sources: diesel, gasoline, propane, or electricity. There is no particular link between the efficiency of the machine and its source of power. Therefore, it solely depends on what the operator finds most convenient for cleaning.

In outdoor settings, it is not easy to find an electrical outlet. Mobile pressure washers should be able to work almost anywhere; otherwise, the portability has limited use. It is better to buy portable machines that run on fuel such as diesel, gasoline, or propane. However, Daimer® offers Long Hose Technology which allows operators to use electric machines with long hoses up to 300 feet long. Electric machines can also be used along with a generator for cleaning where electrical outlets are not accessible.

Flow Rate
The flow rate of mobile pressure washers should depend on the area being cleaned. Many businesses, including the auto detailing business, require the use of as little water as possible. For this reason, Daimer® offers pressure washers with low flow rates, such as the Super Max™ 6120SCW. It features flow rates of 0.5 GPM. A cleaning worker is likely come across some places with limited drainage facilities and low availability of water at some point in time. Portable machines with low flow rates are more suitable for cleaning such places.
