I think it will work out very well once I convince my guys that they don't need 18 horsepower to clean a hood. Using the foamer and the restaurants HOT water should do it.

Mine came with a plastic water inlet but I ordered an aluminum one as a spare.

I'm welding up small cage to protect the inlet from damage and to have a place to wrap the cord. It shouldn't add more then a couple of pounds to the washer.

Has anybody used the super concentrated detergent from Morgan Gallacher in a foamer. They say that caustic dosen't effect it.

That works I tack welded a 1 foot extension on a 19 dollar hand truck from harbor freight and put hose tabs on the up rights and got the same thing. I can carry 50 feet of both hoses and one wand with one trip. It is a definate time saver.

I'm convinced Dave - the foam works great.
Idea.. Electric Washer down stairs and the Power washer off the truck
up stairs going at the same time.. cut time in half.

I have a drum of it in my shop. It works great, and no, the caustic does not effect it.

That cart is not very shiny. You may lose customers because of that.

I went even further, the pressure washer below is used outside, a garden hose is used inside. Ill use the pw inside if need be, havent yet though.


It stays mounted in the ranger. Yeah the reels are overkill, got em dirt cheap though. The reels are hinged for storage.



Everything fits and gets 26mpg, I can get it into the tightest places.

I heard you were offering selling some your KEC concept trucks to those that bought your book. Is that true? How do I get the book and how much for one of those trucks?

Do you have a book on how to make that setup? I would rather make one myself, and I need 5 more books to become an expert.

One thing I have noticed is that the guys with most organized and cleanest trucks, tend to be the best kitchen exhaust cleaners. It's a pride thing.
