Ford Transit Connect Van Pressure Washing Setup Build

Ford Transit Connect Van Pressure Washing Setup Build
Ford Transit connect mini pressure washing soft wash van build.
These vans are very tricky to build on. There are some complications when choosing this vehicle. One is weight. This van has a payload of 1550 lbs. The build has to be precisely built to meet these requirements. Our van skid build weighed in at 870 lbs. Add bleach, fuel, and soap to these equation and you are roughly at 1246. This leaves a little head room and implies you will be emptying the water tank. There is also very limited space to the build needs to be built in a way to maximize space and still make sure everything is accessible and efficient. Our team got right to work to take on these challenges. The end result, a super compact, efficient, and easy to work out of van setup.
Here are the features of this build
- Heavy duty lightweight aluminum van skid with custom racks
- Two custom sized 50 gallon tanks, one for water and the other for bleach
- Three Titan electric 12” reels with stainless internals
- USA marine grade upsized wiring on everything. We use a high quality pure copper strand wiring that conducts better and lasts longer. This reduces breakdowns and loss of current.
- USA made marine grade circuit breaker to shut off power to the system. This also protects the electrical components of the build
- Zeus 24V 14 GPM 150 PSI soft wash system. Shoots better than the 12V and is close to a gas system for flow. You could choose a 12V system and save a few dollars here.
- High quality lithium 24V Bluetooth battery sourced from the US. There are many cheap battery options out there. We don’t use those batteries.
- High flow Pro Mixer soft wash mixer. Oversized valves for better flow with the Zeus pump.
- Oversized soft wash plumbing to accommodate the increased flow of the Zeus pump
- Custom built Honda GX390 gear drive pressure washer. Upgrades include a recharging system to keep the battery charged, heavy duty base plate, and upgraded unloader to remove trapped pressure in the line when off the trigger. This is safer and prolongs the life of your equipment with reduced wear and tear. We use the General pump for our custom pressure washers. You could save a couple bucks here with an off the shelf pressure washer but we prefer this one.
- 200ft of high quality non marking smooth jacket Fierce Jet pressure washer hose. No cheap hose used on our builds. Higher working pressure rating and high burst rate.
- Stainless steel quick connections on all pressure lines. Some use brass or steel. We don’t.
- 200ft of 5/8 Quality SoftJet soft wash hose with crimped fittings to reduce leaks and fail points
- We use special version of the Water Boss soft wash gun. You have the ability to spray in several patterns without having to change nozzles. We also include a stainless swivel for the gun and rebuild parts.
- 100ft of Flexzilla garden hose
- Additional starting battery and box for the pressure washer and reels. (The soft wash pump runs off of the lithium battery)
- Multi stage custom pure water system mounted to custom plates on the skid. We also include extra filters, hose, Tucker 30ft water fed pole, gooseneck, and pure water brush with jets.
