Trailer vs Tank Skid: Appreciate responses so far. So here’s my question: Looking to step up to a hot pressure washer from our small cold machines, like the idea of a tank, and a recovery system. We do no fleet washing, but mostly large commercial campus (think office park ,hospital ,university).
I like several of the trailers (i.e. Hydrotek).
I already have a very heavy duty small tandem trailer (about 6 x 10, 10,000lbs, brakes, etc) we use occasionally(once a month, max) to transport our scissor lift. It is set up for a winch, and is low slung with ramps, that can be removed.
My question is, should I look at a tank skid, add heavy casters and winch it on and off when we need it (we have no forklift), or go with a dedicated pre made trailer? The tank skid would have a smaller footprint in our very crowded shop, and is obviously cheaper, (not another trailer to tag, insure, etc). I hate the idea of constantly using another trailer while this one sits idle…but those trailers with the recovery systems sure are purdy…
Opinions?
