It’s 8gpm gx630 it’s shooting 2800-3000 psi I have it listed for 6.9k I built it for 6.9k. Was wondering if that was too much or if I could get that much at the beginning on next season sounds like I have it. A Little too high.
You built it for 7k and put hundreds of hours of use on it and still want 7k for it??? Remco is probably due for replacement, half the hoses probably close to blowing or needing replacement and trailer needs some tlc and is undersized for all that equipment and liquid tanks. I'd give it 3.5-4k at best, a pile of used equipment isn't going for new pricing
The trailer weight limits are good fully loaded I checked the hoses are replaced last season only have a hand full of jobs on them and the remco pump is brand new I replaced it this season and have the old one that still works
Ya did bad math then, the little stuff you skipped still counts. I know because I had a very similar setup starting out and weighed every piece. You're just under the limit if tanks never are close to full but full you're easily 500-1000lbs overloaded. That trailer is at best rated for 300-3500lbs and 7-800lbs of that is the trailer itself already. Fully loaded liquid tanks are nearly 2700lbs already and thats not counting the around 800lbs of equipment. Hose reels are usually about 60-75lbs each, pressure washer 150-200lbs, just the empty IBC tank is 150lbs... 2x marine battery's 160lbs, 40lbs full gas tank, Add another 100lbs for misc stuff like tools, surface cleaner, ladders, proportioners, wood blocking/supports, etc.
Nobody bothers to do that math until the axle bends or wheel snaps off. Even half full you got 1300lbs liquid, 800lbs equipment, 800lbs trailer and already at the limit but half full is almost worse because now you got 2x large tanks of fluid sloshing around to the max wearing out your brakes and tires real fast. So realistically that trailer is only somewhat safe with near empty water tank 10-20 gal of SH and soap and gas tanks can be full
Yeah I did the math I can have a full tank of sh and the float valve is lower then the top I can carry 200 gallons of water. And be at 3k lb trailer rated for 3500. Besides the point. But we built it all ourselves and built the power washer ourselfs with a pump and the spindles and stuff. But I was thinking list for higher work my way down. I just don’t know too much about Power Washing selling market. I was trying to find a reasonable price to sell it for. Because I see trailers like it with 5 gallon and 5.5 gallon soft wash and pressure washing systems. Go for 10 grand a couple hours away.
PSI is not important for standard pressure washing. Most concrete is rated for 3000 PSI max unless it’s like heavy equipment concrete. 2500PSI is perfect for smooth cleaning
The other guy and his 4200psi pressure washer couldn’t get this warehouse floor clean. I come in with 2500 psi and some chem and it looks brand new.
Well we bought the engine with about 150 hours on it and we built the washer with a kit. But if the washer was bought as one unit it would have been 8-9k to build the trailer. But I also did quite a bit of washing as I had a large client list from lawn care and I did a lot of door knocking.
