Custom Built Van Mount System Utilising The customers Existing Equipment For A Mobile Driveway Cleaner In Birmingham
What they needed
We were asked to design and build a fully mobile pressure washer system for a driveway cleaning contractor based in Birmingham. Having worked with this customer previously, his business had expanded following a new contract, and his cleaning requirements had changed significantly.
He supplied two diesel pressure washers and asked us to fabricate a secure, van-mountable system that would allow him to operate independently of mains water and electricity.
Problem / Requirement
- Existing setup: Two diesel pressure washers mounted on trolley frames.
- Main issue: Machines were not optimised for van installation and off-grid operation.
- Operational challenge: Required a fully self-contained system for working in areas with no water or power supply.
- Business growth: Increased workload meant efficiency, reliability, and professional setup were now essential.
The contractor needed a secure, compact, and practical solution that could be mounted inside his van and used anywhere.
Our Solution
- Removed both diesel pressure washers from their original trolley frames.
- Fabricated and installed a custom mounting frame suitable for secure van installation.
- Mounted both machines directly to the frame to create a stable, integrated system.
- Connected the machines to the van’s main water tank for fully independent operation.
- Installed anti-vibration mounts to reduce stress and movement on the frame during transport and operation.
- Fitted two hose reels to keep hoses organised, protected, and easy to deploy.
- Ensured the system could be mounted and removed efficiently when required
The Result
- The contractor now has a fully self-contained, off-grid pressure washing system.
- Both diesel machines are securely mounted and integrated into the van.
- Anti-vibration mounting improves durability and reduces long-term wear.
- Dual hose reels keep the setup neat, professional, and quick to use.
- The system allows him to work anywhere, even where no water or electricity is available.
- His upgraded setup supports his new contract requirements and business growth.
