5x8 Pressure Washing Trailer Setup (for beginners)
My name is Joe. I own a pressure washing business based in Jacksonville, Florida. I started my business in March of 2023. I started my KZfaq channel at the same time to document the process, and help others start a pressure washing business of their own. I offer roof soft washing, house cleaning, driveway pressure washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning. Please consider subscribing to my channel if you want to learn how to start a pressure washing business. Also, don’t forget to ask any questions, and comment all your ideas, and suggestions! Thank you!

Thanks for watching. What kind of set up do you have? Skid? Trailer? Truck bed?

@HometownSoftwashLLC 3 ай бұрын

Only have a 12v setup built on a small wooden skid right now. Currently in the process of building a 6.3 gpm washer with a Predator engine from Harbor Freight. Also have acquired (scrap from my employer) a metal skid to modify and build shelves on for a truck skid.

Currently running a truck bed setup. 4gpm belt driven pressure washer, 7gpm 12v soft wash setup, buffer tank, chem tank, 100' supply line, 200' pressure hose, 250' chem hose for 12v all on reels, bed rail tool box for battery and spare parts and harbor freight ladder rack with my ladders and surface cleaner. Been enjoying this setup a little more than my trailer I used last year

To be fair, I don't know if I would say the build is "for beginners"...as it's still going to get 95 percent of any jobs done! Might take a little longer to do jobs, but not much.....good build. I am also in Florida, on the Treasure Coast. Subscribed

As long as you do a great job, that’s what matters. You will get better equipment and vehicles over time. You can have the nicest vehicles and equipment, but if you don’t do a great job, then it won’t matter.

You keep growing a little at a time and that has to feel good. I would make 1 suggestion and that is to mount your reel on the passenger side of the trailer. The reason is 1. Easier to just grab the hose and pull it straight out with no onstruction. 2. Some municipalities don’t allow parking facing oncoming traffic. 3. An oncoming car would be more likely (IMO) to hit you head on. Another thing is cones. Where I live you have to have 3 cones to the rear of the trailer. Keep Washing and have a great day.

@FreeAmericanSpirit 3 ай бұрын

Dude..... your growing!!!!! Your whip line to the reel has a lot of stress on it so put a high pressure 90 on the pump end to give it a little slack. Also when you have time take the water tank and turn it side ways an push it back a little. The place your Chem tank in the center just in front of it. That heavy chem.tank loads a lot of weight on the side, and it being forward like that leads up the lounge weight of the trailer.. Your looking good brother!

@joeallenpressurewashing 3 ай бұрын

Appreciate that 💪💪💪 I did get a longer whip line but I never considered a high pressure 90. I thought that may restrict flow. That was just an assumption. Appreciate the advice. I felt like I was just desperate to get the trailer set up, I didn’t really think too long about the layout. I will definitely be changing it. Thank you again! 💪

@FreeAmericanSpirit 3 ай бұрын

Another thing is to put the pw in the back. That way if you have a job where you don't have enough hose, you can roll it out the back andove it closer....

@joeallenpressurewashing 3 ай бұрын

@FreeAmericanSpirit damn I don’t know why I didn’t think about that

@rickyfrascarelli7287 Күн бұрын

i love this build because you have all the things you need and I want to replicate the exact same build but im confused on 1 thing. On all the other soft wash systems I see, they use a remco pump or some type of 5.5-7gpm but I didn't see a pump on your trailer it appears to be going through the pressure washer with the downstream. but if that was the case what are the batteries for? I obviously am new to this lol i have just been using my machine and xjet and looking to upgrade. Thanks for the video

Haven’t experienced that yet honestly, but I would take the machine off the trailer if I had to. When I go bid the job, I figure that out. Good question though. I carry 200ft of pressure hose. I would add another 100ft if I had to as well.

@@joeallenpressurewashing you can but if you’re cleaning on a busy street, you will have cars keep driving over your hose because its set up on that side. If you have it on the curbside you wont have that problem if you’re pulling up to the customer house & their house is on your right side when you’re looking out your passenger window. It’s not right or wrong way but it’s an efficient way.
