Petrol pressure washer

[MattyF]

Need some advice on what petrol pressure washer folks are running , our karcher has just packed up and to be honest would never buy another as its been total **** ! The water supply is fed off a large IBC so there is no mains or water so virtually no pressure.

Oooooo I do get excited when we start talking high pressure water.

 

What's your budget Matty?

 

Do you want new or second hand?

The Stihl electric commercial pressure washers are supposed to be reliable.

What do you recon eggs , have no idea really just needs to keep 4-5 trucks clean weekly along with other gear around £500 or Will we need to up the budget to get some thing decent ?

Aren't they just Niflisks though?

We sell Stihl new for domestic use but for commercial use, we sell Demon washers, made in Plymouth. They are very well made and simple but a good petrol one about £900 plus vat new

There are two ways to go IMO, reduction gearbox (known to throw the woodruff key, never happened to me), or belt and pulley, never used one (but are said to be more reliable).

 

I'd go for a honda engine with a interpump and reduction gearbox.

 

There is a bloke in Manchester and another in Leeds that I've delt with. If you can wait a few days I'll dig out their numbers, we've got the builders in atm so we are a bit upside down.

 

You might have to stretch the budget a bit if you want a decent industrial machine.

Delta pressure washer is the one to have. Interpump with reduction gear box & honda engine.

qwashers on ebay make some ver god machines using Honda engines with inter pumps. They have reduction gearbox rather than belt drive.
