Thanks for your kind words Cody. We have spend a lot of time and $ putting this equipment together. It has many capabilities.
We have just completed some upgrades to our equipment (new boiler, main storage tank, rebuilt floor & walls. The following is a list of this units current spec's.
1998 GMC 7500 series derated to 6500 series 25,950 lbs. GVWR. 80,000 psi frame rails, reinforced, 11,000 lbs. front axle, 23,500 lbs. Rear suspension. 427 engine, 5 speed transmission, 2 speed rearend. AM-FM and CB radios with weather alert. Air conditioning, power steering. Dual 50 gallon gasoline tanks, duel 90 gallon (water capacity) propane tanks. Customized 5 man crew cab (put in bucket seats & consoles now it is a 3 man cab) also made it higher and longer than standard with extra lights, fans and windows.
14 foot aluminum box with rear swing doors and modifications to accommodate equipment. 1000 gallon "L" shaped stainless steel cross-baffled water tank. 45 KW Olympian genset with 100 KW upsized alternator. 350-engine water-cooled operates on LP vapor. 200 amp electrical panel with breakers and starter for 20 hp motor and 110 volt outlets. 24-volt switches for all motors. 1,100,000 Btu Hotsy boiler operates on LP vapor. 3 hp 220v single-phase circulation pump (15 gpm @ 100 psi). 1.5 hp 110v pressure washer (2.2 gpm @ 1500 psi). 40-gallon stainless surge tank. 20 hp 220 3 phase pressure washer P-100 Wheatley Duplex pump 485 rpm (9 gpm @ 3000). This unit operates completely backwards of most systems. We bypass the water back through the pressure pump. We have Teflon packing in the Wheatley pump. 3 hose reels we generally carry about 600 feet of 5500 psi 3/8" hose. We use 3/8" 7400 psi ballvalves and ¼ " disconnects for our wands. Wands are ¼" galvanized steel with insulation. 2 each 2,4,6,8,10,12 foot wands. Hose end sprayers; we apply our detergents, acids or caustics under low pressure (100 psi or so). We carry two types of heads that allow us to apply chemical ratios of 1-150 up to 1-3. We use electric (110v) diaphragm or pump-up type sprayers to apply 100% solutions. We carry various tips to control volume on our large pump, orifice sizes from 3 to 15. We also carry various spray angles in those orifice sizes 0 to 65 degrees. We use rotary tips as well. 6 & 4-foot aluminum poles and 24" and 12" brushes.
Some of the things that we really find handy along with the above equipment are: 12-volt lights hooked up to a 15-minute timer. When you have an enclosed unit it can be like a cave on the inside. With these lights we can load get parts etc., without needing a flashlight. Florescent lights that really light up the inside when we have our genset up and running. Temperature and pressure gauges so we always know what the equipment is doing. Folding and stationary tailgate steps to get into the back. Manhead in roof for bulk filling our tank. Line plumbed into system to take on water from a garden hose and fill our tank or go directly to our pumps. Shutoffs on pressure lines going to hose reels so we can localize when necessary. Dump lines so we can empty our main and surge tanks rather than having to pump the water out. Infrared 16,000 Btu LP heaters. We do not need to winterize any of this equipment. Can maintain 60-70 degrees inside our box in subzero temperatures. Removable roof hatches. These allow us to get on the roof and they also let in light and help get rid of some of the heat in the summer.
Here are a couple URL addresses that we have set up at this time:
