Purchasing an industrial pressure washer is a significant capital investment. The wrong machine will cost you thousands in lost productivity and maintenance.
1. Determine the Application
Are you cleaning mud off a tractor, or degreasing a heavy-duty engine block? As a rule of thumb, if grease, oil, or fat is involved, you absolutely must use hot water.
2. Power Source vs Mobility
Where are you cleaning? If you have reliable 3-Phase power at a static wash bay, an electric belt-drive machine is infinitely quieter and requires less maintenance than an engine-driven one. If you are cleaning out in the field, you'll need a petrol (Honda) or diesel (Kubota) powered unit.
