A commercial pressure washer is built to run hours a day: a triplex plunger pump instead of an axial pump, an industrial engine or motor, a frame that survives the truck, and parts that a dealer can replace. The 416 machines here are that class, from 1,000 PSI wall mount electric units to 7,000 PSI industrial machines and 10 GPM truck mounts, sold new from the manufacturer through High Pressure Car Washer, an authorized dealer for BE Power Equipment, Cam Spray, Kranzle, Makinex, Pressure-Pro and Simpson. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states, to a dock or terminal on freight machines, and liftgate service is one flat fee.

Power decides the first cut. Commercial electric pressure washers run inside wash bays, dealerships, kitchens and plants with no exhaust. Commercial gas pressure washers go to the job on a truck or a trailer. Commercial hot water pressure washers handle grease, oil and road film on fleets and equipment, and diesel pressure washers run engine and burner on one fuel for oilfield and municipal trucks. Specialist units, steam, soft wash and hydraulic drive, have their own pages.

Buying for a business? Tell Find My Machine the job, the site and the water and it shows the machines that fit, or call and a person specs it with you. The guide below covers car wash and truck wash equipment, fleet washing and the machines auto dealerships, auto shops, municipalities and oilfield services buy.

What makes a pressure washer commercial

Three things. The pump: a triplex plunger pump with ceramic plungers and a brass or forged manifold, rebuildable, rated for thousands of hours, against the sealed axial pump on a consumer unit. The drive: belt drive and gear drive units spin the pump slower than the engine, which is why they last on a crew. The frame and the parts: powder coated steel, industrial engines from Honda, Kohler and Vanguard, motors from Baldor and Leeson, and a dealer network that stocks pumps, unloaders and coils. Everything on this page meets that bar.

Commercial electric pressure washers

172 electric units from 1,000 to 7,000 PSI. Indoors they are the only choice, and the circuit decides the machine: 120 volt for units to about 2,000 PSI, 230 volt single phase for the 3,000 PSI 4 GPM class most shops run, three phase for stationary machines and hot water units above that. Wall mount and stationary units from Cam Spray keep a bay floor clear; portable units from Kranzle, BE and Pressure-Pro roll between bays. Full lineup in electric pressure washers.

Commercial gas pressure washers

211 gas units with Honda, Kohler and Vanguard engines, from 2,200 PSI portable machines to 7,000 PSI industrial units and 10 GPM truck mounts. Belt drive pumps for daily use, direct drive for value. Full lineup in gas pressure washers.

Commercial hot water pressure washers

110 hot water units. Heated water is what separates a clean fleet from a wet one: road film, grease and diesel soot let go at 180 to 250 degrees where cold water only moves them. Gas units with diesel fired burners ride the truck; all electric units with diesel, natural gas or propane burners run in bays and plants. Full lineup in hot water pressure washers.

Car wash and truck wash equipment

A car wash prep bay wants an electric unit in the 2,000 to 3,000 PSI class with 3 to 4 GPM, hot water if the bay handles engine bays or wheels, and a wall mount so the floor stays clear. A truck wash wants flow: 5.5 to 10 GPM hot water units on a skid, with a hose reel and a 100 foot hose so the machine does not move. Cam Spray wall mounts and Pressure-Pro Hot Shot units cover the car wash; BE and Pressure-Pro skids and the Simpson truck mounts cover the truck wash.

Fleet washing

Flow first, heat second, pressure third. A 4 GPM hot water unit handles pickups and vans; 5.5 to 8.5 GPM clears tractor trailers, buses and heavy equipment two to three times faster. For a yard with a water supply and power, a portable hot water unit; for a mobile fleet washer, a skid in the truck bed with a tank. See the fleet picks in the recommended machines below.

Pressure washers for auto dealerships and auto shops

A dealership detail bay runs all day, indoors, on cars: an electric hot water unit on 230 volt single phase, in the 2,500 to 3,000 PSI class, with a foam cannon and a quality gun. The Kranzle Therm line and the Pressure-Pro Hot Shot electric units are the machines we put in those bays. An auto shop cleaning engines, parts and floors wants the same class with hot water, and a wall mount if the bay is fixed.

Municipalities, school districts and oilfield services

Public works and school district fleets buy a gas hot water unit on wheels in the 4,000 PSI 4 to 5.5 GPM class that one operator can move between garages. Oilfield service trucks buy diesel engine hot water skids, 8 GPM and up, that run engine and burner on the fuel already on the truck. Both classes are in the comparison table and the picks below. Quotes for purchase orders are available by phone.

Commercial pressure washers we recommend by job

Four picks for the four commercial jobs we quote most.

Kranzle K2175TST for auto dealerships

The Kranzle K2175TST Therm hot water electric pressure washer runs 2,500 PSI and 3.3 GPM on 230 volt single phase with a steam mode, the dealership detail bay machine with no exhaust.

Pressure-Pro 4230VB-30G1 for auto shops

The Pressure-Pro Hot Shot 4230VB-30G1 is a 3,000 PSI 4.0 GPM electric hot water unit on 230 volt single phase, for engines, parts and shop floors indoors.

BE HW4024HA12V for municipalities and school districts

The BE Power Equipment HW4024HA12V hot water pressure washer puts 4,000 PSI and 5.5 GPM on wheels with a Honda GX690 and a 12 volt burner, one operator, any garage.

Pressure-Pro 8012PRO-40KLDG for oilfield services

The Pressure-Pro Pro-Super Skid 8012PRO-40KLDG is a 4,000 PSI 8.0 GPM diesel engine hot water skid with a Kohler diesel, one fuel for engine and burner on the service truck.

Freight, delivery and returns on machines

Free freight to the lower 48. Machines ship new from the manufacturer by freight carrier at no charge to a commercial address with a loading dock or forklift, or to the carrier's nearest terminal for pickup. Orders are prepared within 0 to 1 business days and delivery takes 5 to 8 business days.

Liftgate service, $95 flat. No dock or forklift? Choose liftgate service when you add the machine to the cart. The carrier calls ahead to schedule, brings the crate to your address and lowers it to the ground with a liftgate. It lands at the curb or driveway, not inside the building. One flat fee per order, whatever the machine weighs.

On delivery. Inspect the crate before signing. Note any damage on the delivery receipt and photograph it. We file the claim with the carrier, and if a replacement is needed we ship it.

Returns. Unused machines in original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. A 20 percent restocking fee applies and return freight is the buyer's responsibility, and a refused freight delivery is handled the same way, which is why we would rather confirm the model before it ships: send the job, the water and the power on site through the form on this page and we check the spec against the machine. Full terms are on the shipping policy and return policy pages.

Commercial Pressure Washers questions, answered

What is the difference between commercial and industrial pressure washers?
Commercial covers professional units rated for daily use: triplex pumps, industrial engines and motors, 2,000 to 4,000 PSI. Industrial usually means the top of that range, 4,000 to 7,000 PSI, three phase electric or large engine units, built for plants, hydro blasting and surface prep. Both are on this page.
Which commercial pressure washer is best for a car wash?
A wall mount or portable electric unit in the 2,000 to 3,000 PSI class with 3 to 4 GPM. Add hot water if the bay does engine bays and wheels. Cam Spray wall mounts and the Pressure-Pro Hot Shot electric units are the usual picks.
What do I need for truck and fleet washing?
Flow. A 5.5 to 8.5 GPM hot water unit clears a tractor trailer two to three times faster than a 4 GPM machine. Put it on a skid with a tank if the fleet washes at more than one yard, on wheels if the yard has water and power.
Do you sell to municipalities and school districts?
Yes. Every machine ships new from the manufacturer with its factory warranty, and quotes for purchase orders are available by phone at (219) 327-1138.
Can a commercial electric pressure washer run on a standard outlet?
Units up to about 2,000 PSI and 2 GPM run on a 120 volt 15 or 20 amp circuit. Anything larger needs 230 volt single phase, and stationary units from about 5 HP up run on three phase. The electrical spec is on every product page.
How long does a commercial pressure washer last?
A triplex pump is rated for thousands of hours and can be rebuilt. With pump oil changed on schedule, clean water and no dry running, commercial units run for a decade on a crew. Most failures come from running a pump without water or leaving water in it to freeze.
Belt drive or direct drive?
Belt drive spins the pump slower and cooler, runs quieter and lasts longer, which is why crews that wash every day buy belt drive. Direct drive costs less and weighs less, and is fine for a machine that runs a few hours a week.
How does shipping work on a pressure washer?
Shipping is free to the lower 48 states. Machines ship new from the manufacturer by freight carrier to a commercial address with a dock or forklift, or to the carrier's nearest terminal for pickup. No dock? Choose liftgate service when you add the machine to the cart, a flat $95 per order, and the carrier calls ahead and lowers the crate to the ground at your address. Orders are prepared within 0 to 1 business days and delivery takes 5 to 8 business days.
Are these machines sold by an authorized dealer?
Yes. High Pressure Car Washer is an authorized dealer for BE Power Equipment, Cam Spray, Kranzle, Makinex, Pressure-Pro and Simpson, and every unit ships new from the manufacturer with its factory warranty.
What if I order the wrong machine?
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery on unused units in original packaging. A 20 percent restocking fee applies and return freight is the buyer's responsibility. That is why Find My Machine and the phone line exist: tell us the job, the water and the power, and we confirm the model before it ships.
