How to Buy Mobile Pressure Washers for Marine Cleaning



Mobile pressure washers are the most suitable cleaning machines for marine vessels like ships and boats. These machines have both the power and flexibility needed for efficiently carrying out the cleaning work for marine vessels. The output power of pressure washing machines stems from their high pressure output.

Sophisticated machines from Daimer®’s Super Max™ series can provide an output pressure up to 8000 psi and a maximum output temperature of 330°F. Such a high output pressure is not required for cleaning marine vessels. Mobile pressure washers in the range of 1500 psi, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 6120SCW, are the best for marine cleaning from a safety point of view. Machines with extremely high pressure levels can damage more delicate parts of the boat.

Types of Portable Machines
There are two kinds of mobile pressure washers. The first type of machine is attached to wheels, while the second kind can be mounted on a truck or a trailer. Both types of machines have their own individual advantages and disadvantages. For cleaning around a small area, wheel mounted machines are ideal. However, trailer mounted machines allow operators to move the machine much farther and more easily.

Power Source
Most professionals prefer fuel powered mobile pressure washers. The reason is simple. Not all outdoor places will have a plug point at a convenient location. Gasoline- or propane-powered machines do not face any such problem.
