New fleets

I have a few opportunities to was fleets close to my house. Looking to buy a trailer but was wondering if you guys all built your own? Do you save that much putting your unit together vs buying assembled?

Also, which unit do you suggest? Name brand, psi, gpm?

Last question; Is it bad for your unit to run 2 wands off it?

Sounds like you should do some major reading and figure out a starting point. There are infinite possibilities for building or buying highly dependent on your business plan

Yeah. Researching like crazy right now. The more I read/hear the more questions I come up with. I could post about 5 more right now. I don’t go into anything w/o knowing the best route (sometimes to a fault).

We have been washing fleets for about ten years now and always find new ways to do things. There’s never a right or wrong answer for your questions as everyone has their opinions. We used 5 gpm hot water units for years but finally buckled down and bought 8 gpm hot water alkota and increased production by about 25 percent. Now if you run two guns the only thing that will wear faster is your unloader.

As far as buying a put together rig vs building your own just depends on how good you are with building and thinking outside the box and if you have the space to do such an undertaking. Convenience and higher price VS dealing with putting everything together on your own
