Zoom on the Powerhorse 750143
In summary, the Powerhorse 750143 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a powerful 212cc (6 hp) engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3100 PSI (almost 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 7750 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s engine.
The fuel is stored in a tank, which can hold up to 0.95 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Powerhorse 750143 offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D21 x W25.5 x H38.5 in. The strong steel frame assures assembly longevity. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the 750143 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
The device can be maneuvered with ease by most, since it only weighs 68 lbs. A major component of its weight are its 212cc engine and steel frame. Since the 750143 has a set of two 10" never-flat wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Powerhorse 750143 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a dedicated tank. The detergent will be added automatically to the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
- Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 30 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose is facilitated by a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
