This professional-grade machine is built to handle your toughest cleaning tasks, delivering a powerful 3400 PSI to blast away years of dirt, grime, and mildew.
Zoom on the Kärcher G3400P
In a nutshell, the Kärcher G3400P is a commercial pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- comprehensive cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and readying surfaces for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Kärcher G3400P
Using a powerful 212cc (5.9 hp) engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of up to 3400 PSI (roughly 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
The engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
The pressure washer's tank has a maximum capacity of 0.95 gallon for storing gasoline.
Design & Handling
Characterized by its wheelbarrow layout, the Kärcher G3400P provides improved mobility and stability, facilitating easy movement and steadfast operation for effective cleaning results. The welded steel frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. The handle adds to the G3400P convenience of transport.
At 77.2 lbs, this unit's substantial weight makes it quite a challenge for users to lift and maneuver, particularly on uneven surfaces where its heft can become even more apparent. The main contributors to its weight are its 212cc engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. Nonetheless, the addition of two never-flat wheels simplifies maneuvering the G3400P, even across rough ground.
Main Features
The Kärcher G3400P
The Kärcher G3400P comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: While not equipped with a soap tank, the device maintains detergent supply through a siphon hose. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: The included 35 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of easy-to-use straps for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 4 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
