Is there a skid mount accessory and hose reel?
This PW'er is perfect GPM and PSI and fuel capacity for our use at work, however, we need to mount it on a skid, and mount a 100' hose reel on top. I can't find accessories to modify to our needs
1 answer-
NorthstarExpert13· 11 years ago
Northern Tool does not currently offer a skid mount option for this pressure washer, Listed below is two 100' hose reels that are available, that do not mount to the pressure washer. Also below, as another option, is a hot water pressure washer on a skid.
