Zoom on the Powerhorse 750143

- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning

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
Using an impressive 212 cc (6 hp) engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 3100 PSI (roughly 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 7750 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.95 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Powerhorse 750143 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D21 x W25.5 x H38.5 in. Its sturdy steel frame provides longevity to the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the 750143 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 68 lbs. Its 212 cc engine and steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. But, as the 750143 does have a set of two 10" never-flat wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.
