hi im looking into getting a hot water pressure washer, maybe one on wheels like my cold water pressure washer so i can wheel it if neccessary, maybe i dont need to wheel it??
im new to the hot water game but been told hot is best for removing oil, graffiti, and gum so think it outweighs cold. can you turn the temp up on the hot water washer so you get steam for gum removal or do you need a steam cleaner too?

Drive surgeon you can turn up the temp about 150c on most machines but you wont get that temp with pressure because the water passes through the heater coil to quickly for the burner to heat the water turn the temp up and pressure down for max heat ,give me a email might be able to find a second hand hot washer .

Drive Surgeon,
Have a look at this company,
www.tgeorgepodell.com
This is where we got our trailer from, they do sell just machines skid mounted. They also do machines on wheels, but you would need access to 240 volts and a decent amount of amps so a generator really.

hi drive surgeon
we use a lavorwash thermic 17 it is a skid mount machine but would be to big to put on wheels so we have put it in the back of a trailer along with a 1000 litre tank.

HI
Drive surgeon
a company here in Manchester build and fit a hotbox in your van-
the box is basically a heating coil the guys explained that all the kit that comes with a purpose built model eg lavor etc isnt necessary and finally the system is bolted into your van and as such doesnt have to be removed.
I started out in partner van - upgraded to a scudo - then to a ducato and finally i am now in a Iveco - hate to think of the money i have wasted-
Dont waste your time in a small van
My van now houses a hot box fixed- water tank fixed and all the various pieces of kit to carry out the various tasks
I have just finished a paint removal job on a house and the hot box easily shifted the paint
The hot box opens gives you other oppurtnities.
Just need to a a chimney fitted to van to vent the fumes.
