Overview

The Hot Pressure Cleaner is a BAR SK Series hot water machine that delivers 4000 PSI at 18 litres per minute. A Briggs and Stratton Vanguard 18HP engine drives an AR Italian pump on a belt drive at 1400 RPM, and the machine is built on a rugged cage frame. It is manufactured in the USA and is designed to be trailer or truck mounted so it works right where it is needed.

The SK Series is a versatile build: the cage frame and balanced lifting point make it easy to mount and move, and the large fuel tanks give long run times between refuels. It carries the standard commercial features you expect on a hot water machine, including an adjustable thermostat, high capacity steel coil and a remote mounted unloader for easy maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this machine be mounted on a truck or trailer?

Yes. The SK Series is designed for truck or trailer mounting, with a rugged powder coated steel frame and a balanced lifting point. It is built to work from a mobile position, which is what makes it useful for contract cleaning where the machine needs to travel to the job.

Is the battery included?

No. The listing states the machine requires a Group 24 550 CCA battery, which is not included. The electric start needs that battery fitted before first start.

What fuel does it run on?

The engine runs on petrol and the burner runs on diesel, with large 8 gallon tanks for both on belt drive models. The listing states long run times without refueling, and the separate gas and diesel tanks keep engine and burner fuel separate.
