Diesel Pressure Washer

Things to consider before buying a diesel pressure washer

When using a pressure washer for cleaning up, it may be that there is not a convenient electric supply nearby. In this case a pressure washer with its own power supply is the answer, allowing the flexibility of carrying out the cleaning in situ with the minimum of disruption. Diesel engines are often preferred as the method of motive power because they provide full power almost straight away and are generally more economical.

Diesel Pressure Washer – Options

A diesel pressure washer like the Edge Tiger can provide cold or hot water with a steam option if required. Additionally it can be static such as the Edge Hot Water Static or portable like the Edge Grimebuster, making it invaluable for offsite work, and may even have its own water tank for completely independent operation. The adaptability of a diesel pressure washer makes it an excellent appliance for cleaning up in a variety of sectors, such as the agriculture industry and local authorities. When choosing a diesel pressure washer, there are a number of things to consider

Diesel Pressure Washer – Salient Points

• Robustness – diesel pressure washers are by their nature often used in demanding environments and as such should be up to the job. Often used in remote locations the washer should be reliable and withstand the treatment that industrial or public surroundings may inflict
• Accessories – Make sure that a full range of accessories are available, such as floor cleaning tools and specialist alternatives like chewing gum removal.
• Noise Level – If a diesel pressure washer is being used where noise is a problem, then select a machine with some sound attenuation to ensure that there is a little disturbance as possible.
• Duty – Make sure the diesel pressure washer is correctly sized for the job it is required to do, and is the right type. Hot water has greater cleaning power but these machines are more expensive and unnecessary if a cold water version will suffice.
• Buy or Hire – If you only have an occasional requirement or need a machine for a fixed period, then hiring may be a better option
