Portable Pressure Washer

The use of the term portable for pressure washers can generally mean one of two things. A portable unit can mean a powerful full-sized gas powered pressure washer that is on a wheeled platform, or it can be a small, light duty, truly portable unit.

If you are looking for a portable pressure washer for use in heavy duty applications, you will need a high capacity portable pressure washer tank. Cleaning a large commercial building, for example, requires lots of power and portability so that you can move across a wide area in order to get the job done. Wheeled pressure washers are generally equipped with a two-cycle, small internal combustion engine. There are varying power levels available which are suited for the particular work load needed.

A good example of gas powered portability and high quality is the Karcher 3000 psi with a Honda engine. It has an axial cam pump and a commercial grade brass head for added durability. Since the pneumatic tires are great for relatively flat surfaces as well as rough terrain this is an ideal portable machine with wide ranging capabilities. You can also Save time and really do a thorough cleaning by using detergents and additives for your gasoline pressure washer. Not every job requires a detergent but they can make a big difference especially with oil or grease stains.

12v Portable Pressure Washer

If total portability is the goal then consider the Nomad portable pressure cleaner. This is a hand held device that is tough on dirt yet inexpensive. It gets power from any 12v automobile (or boat) power outlet. Weighing in at less then 20 lbs. empty, it is by far one of the lightest pressure washers you will find. Imagine having one of these in your trunk when you are hiking, hunting or even riding a dirt bike. You can have everything clean before you load it back up and take it home. No more sand in your car after a day at the beach.

Finding and buying the right pressure washer depends on what you'll be using it for most of the time. You can get portable models for just about any type of job or budget.
