Title: Best Truckmount
Post by: Timmy Boy on March 21, 2006, 09:37:14 am

Hi all
Just wanted a bit of feedback from you all. I am looking to buy myself a truckmount & wondered which machine you guys think is the best in the market today. I need dual wand capability so I was looking at a prochem Apex or similar. I looked at the Chemspec machine at the show. The demo guy even took me out to the carpark to see it. The one problem was he could not get it to start!! :P Puts me off a bit to say the least, the last thing I want is to be pulling levers and pushing buttons & it won't start.

I have looked at Hydramaster, does their location affect their service?

How does Hydramaster heat the solution and when and where are the cleaning chemicals injected into the solution, ie before the pumpsor after? Best, Dave.

I had a demo of the 18hp model last week. WOW  ;D

It was using 200ft of pipe, talk about power and heat  :o

Base model starts from about £6000, up to £9500 for twin user model. Price includes fresh water tank ( 109 gal) and wand, hose, etc.

solution is heated by heat exchangers, mine runs three (engine, blower, exhaust) and chemical is last step chemical injection fed to a dual block with male fittings at front of machine, holds heat at 230 oC even when pressure washing.
