First Trailer Setup Considerations

Both Powerwash Store and Softwash systems make nice truck mounted skid units. I’m thinking something like this.

Here are some videos of different units. The only thing I’d do different is put a 6gpm pw up on top in front of one storage box with my softwash system right behind cab on left side

What do you think of the Water Dragon pressure washers and setups vs Hydrotek or PressurePro?

for a fleet I would looove to use a redbull delivery type truck: https://goo.gl/images/qUTDhh

I would love to have a truck mounted unit to make it easier to parallel park in the congested shore towns. I have so many accessories, tools, chems, hoses and other junk that I thought a utility truck would work good. I’ve seen @Innocentbystander trucks on here and they look like a efficient setup. I do worry about the truck braking down too.

That TruGreen truck set up is sweet!

I have my soft wash skid in my pick-up so I can do a basic house wash with just the truck. I also have an enclosed trailer if I need pressure washers, surface cleaners, back-up chemicals, hose, etc… that I use for specialty or bigger commercial jobs.
If I add a hot machine or recovery unit, I have room in the trailer for them.
I do not like to pull a trailer all the time so, so far, my set up is working but like everyone else, I’m always tweaking things & I do like the utility truck set-up that IBS uses. Would like to take a good look at his set-up and watch his crews for a day!

I have a 24 foot extension pressure wand, 6 foot extension pressure wane and a 16 foot extension brush pole that I worry about rusting (my proximity to ocean) and getting stolen if I just put them on my ladder racks. I believe most of my equipment and machines last longer because they are not in the elements, wet and exposed to salt air. Which is a huge reason why I don’t dump my trailer for a truck. That and I don’t want to spend the money right now. If I had a truck without a trailer I would be like a pressure washing ninja.
