Power
The Powerhorse 750143
Powered by an impressive 212 cc (6 hp) engine, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3100 PSI (around 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Combined, these values mean that the Powerhorse 750143 has 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 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D21 x W25.5 x H38.5 in. 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. A major component of its weight are its 212 cc engine and steel frame. The 750143 can still be easily manipulated and maneuvered, thanks to its two 10" never-flat wheels.
