Nilfisk SC Uno + Backup Nilfisk DTE Installation For A Logistics Company In Ellistown

What they needed

We were asked to supply and install a new high-performance pressure washer system for a logistics company in Ellistown. The customer relies heavily on pressure washing for pallet cleaning and wanted more power along with a reliable backup solution as part of their move to a larger site.

Problem / Requirement

• Existing machine: The company already had a DTE pressure washer from their previous site.
• Main issues: The existing DTE unit didn’t provide enough power for the increased workload at the new facility.
• Site conditions: A dedicated wash booth was already built, and the customer needed a clean, organised setup without hoses trailing across forklift routes.
• Usage: Frequent daily pallet washing as part of ongoing logistics operations.

The customer needed a more powerful primary machine, with the original DTE retained as a backup to prevent downtime and production delays

Our Solution / Work Carried Out

• Supplied and installed a Nilfisk SC Uno to provide a higher-powered primary washdown system.
• Reallocated the existing DTE pressure washer as a dedicated backup unit to ensure continuity in the event of a breakdown or service requirement.
• Ran high-pressure pipework around the rear of the wash booth to feed the washing area cleanly and safely.
• Connected the system to a wash boom, preventing hoses from lying on the floor or being driven over by forklifts.
• Constructed UniStrut frames and mounted both machines securely to the building structure so they were level, organised, and off the ground.
• Positioned the machines for easy access, making servicing, maintenance, and operation straightforward.

The Result

• The Nilfisk SC Uno provides increased power and performance, improving pallet washing efficiency.
• The original DTE unit now serves as a reliable backup, reducing the risk of downtime and supporting continuous operation.
• The wash boom and rear pipework eliminate hoses on the floor, preventing damage from forklifts and creating a safer, tidier workspace.
• The UniStrut mounting keeps both machines secure, level, and easy to work on, improving long-term maintenance and usability.
