so how are you getting your washers out the van i have a 15ltre honda on a heavy duty galvernised trolley i have put a jockey wheel on the front and tilt it back and get it out that way but i have a terrible bad back and due for a operation so iam going to upgrade soon to a 21ltr to the trolley washer i may just keep as a spare do you people just leave your washers in the van because i cant do that i have a window cleaning round also and the problem is there are lots of terreced houses no parking so the washer has to come out and sit at the front door with a hose reel attached to it its very awkward after a couple of hours then putting in the back of the van is a joke how do you suggest doing it i thought buying 2 wheel chair ramps and running it up them any answers please

In all honesty try to arrange the van so the washer is fixed into the van and get more hose to reach a water supply and high pressure hose to reach the job
I had the Honda 21 ltr machine on a barrow in the early days and used 2 motorcycle ramps for on/off but it’s no fun at all and you just spend so much time loading unloading now we don’t get knackered and job time is cut dramatically
If room is really a problem why not build a a trailer to hook up ?

Yes Darren I was looking at the skid type the trailer as well but I put that out of my mind now you have reminded me I could take the wash er of the trolley and put in a trailer
on a 21 litre pressure washer how many hoses are possible before the 20 inch FSC........ starts to loose pressure

I have mine built on a plate, bolted down in the van. I have 130metres of hp hose, the whirly will be fine running at distance from ur machine, I think Ben says 0.1 bar is lost per metre but am not sure
Best bet mate is to ring Ben at Rutland pumps he will put u on right track
search Rutland pumps

Thanks Matt 130 metres wow here's me concerned about putting 2 more 20ft onto a 20ft reel.... I will get in touch with Rutland when I need a washer because I am not sure if Iam going down the trailer route........ I don't need a big tank aso I always have access to garden taps or I can attach hose lock connectors to taps in house
-
I only use the full length if needed ...ie if on a roof or far away from the van. I keep 50m in the van with me as this if more than enough for most jobs.
I also have 150m of standard hose ( 6 X 25m ) to feed the tank, again this is only used if am on a job were limited water or if there's 2 taps i can connect upto.

When moving up to 21 ltrs a min you will need a bigger tank not all mains will keep up

Thanks for the input I may be able to keep the one I have then put it in a trailer and then buy hot electrical pressure washer from levor...... and use it for the terraced.... houses because they are yearly they aren't that bad and the washer is quite light what do you think because I have never used electrical ones but it would be using hot has anyon ever used a levor...rio or MissorI
