| What's a common layout for a professional pressure washing trailer? | A typical setup places the pressure washer and water tank over the axle for balance, with hose reels mounted on one side for easy access. Chemical tanks are often placed forward, and there's usually dedicated space for surface cleaners and tools. |
| Why is tank placement and weight distribution so important? | Proper weight distribution, with about 60% of the weight forward of the axle, is critical for safe towing. Poorly balanced loads can cause dangerous trailer sway, putting stress on your vehicle and creating a safety hazard on the road. |
| Where is the best place to mount my hose reels? | Mounting hose reels on the curbside of the trailer is the safest and most efficient option. This keeps the operator away from traffic and allows for easy deployment and retraction of hoses at the job site. |
| What are the power options for a custom build? | Most professional rigs use a gas-powered engine for the pressure washer. Additional systems, like a 12V softwash pump, will require a dedicated deep-cycle battery, while some larger builds may incorporate a generator for electric hose reels or other tools. |
| What is the process for ordering a custom build from you? | The process typically starts with a discovery call to understand your needs, followed by a detailed quote and design. Once approved, a deposit is required to begin the build, with final payment due before shipping or pickup. |
| Do your water tanks have baffles? | Yes, professional-grade water tanks should be baffled. Baffles are internal dividers that disrupt the flow of water, preventing the dangerous sloshing effect that can unbalance a trailer during transport. |
| What's the advantage of a truck skid unit versus a full trailer? | A skid unit consolidates all your equipment onto a single metal frame that can be mounted in a truck bed or on a flatbed. This offers a more compact footprint than a trailer and can be more maneuverable in tight spaces. |
| How do you determine the right size trailer for a build? | The trailer size depends on the amount and weight of the equipment you need. We calculate the total weight of the pressure washer, tanks (when full), reels, and other gear to ensure the trailer's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is more than sufficient for safe operation. |
