Description
Zoom on the Powerhorse 750143
The Powerhorse 750143, a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- application of detergent and cleaning solutions
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Powerhorse 750143
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a powerful 212 cc (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.
The engine of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.
A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.95 gallon is used to store gasoline.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D21 x W25.5 x H38.5 in, the Powerhorse 750143 offers great mobility. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the 750143 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Weighing 68 lbs, the unit is easy to maneuver by most people. Its 212 cc engine and steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. However, the two 10" never-flat wheels allow the 750143 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.
