Truck mount Question

Guys do you think this would work?

Making a 2003 Chevy Astro Van into my Carpet Cleaning Truckmount?

I also Do Power Washing, What is a good truck mount Carpet cleaning Vac that also can pressure wash I need at least 3000 psi.

Thank you

For power washing you'll find that 3000psi isn't enough especially cold...............I had 1 unit of 4000psi Hot 240 degrees and it was just acceptable.

I rented a 28,000psi cold and from 14,000psi and up I didn't even need chemical.

I had a contract to do concrete surface demolition and @ 28,000 psi it was a breeze.

Good power washers start at $ 7,000 to $ 50,000 these electric junk you but at Canadian Tire and Home Depot are good for washing your car, perhaps you siding but you'll never clean the siding from the ground 12 feet up to the overhang..........that's where the expensive machines come in

Ever fall off a ladder holding on to a pressure washer

Ever try to clean siding up close on a scaffold or ladder with water and soap splashing back in your face

Don't even think of a longer pressure hose the electric motor or even the small horsepower gas engines are just not strong enough to maintain the pressure needed.

Better to be firmly placed on the ground and get the job done right.

Not to mention the fine you would get for placing your employee in a dangerous situation

I had the contract to clean all the city dumpsters of grafitti removal and paint scale, then we used to spray paint them on site.

14,000psi stripped everything off clean ready for paint.

Stop signs and street name signs we done with a special grafitti remover & 4000psi

cement grafitti removal was done with 7,000 to 10,000 psi no chemical needed.

to store all this equipment took a 7 x 12 foot trailer

If I was to get back into the business this is what I would get into........profits are excellent, contracts are hard to get.

Night rider is right if you want to clean from 12ft and up from the ground you need at least  10,000 psi.

But I use a ladder.

See Ted's ( Kleenkuip used section ) buy the cheapest truckmount he has and ask him to install a 3,500psi pump..........
