Here’s a pretty innovative piece of equipment perfect for site work.  A self-contained pressure washer with 1125 litre water bowser EU highway approved.

That’s an important consideration where vessels such as these are concerned, because there are legalities connected with Bowser towing.

Basic considerations for towing

Highway approved bowsers have their own braking system for example and provided the towing Vehicle is to the correct specification, the bowser can be towed in a filled condition.  Many people underestimate the weight of even 500 gallons of fluid towed behind a vehicle and how it will affect the vehicle’s manoeuvrability and performance.

Before hitching any type of trailer vehicle, you should consider the following:

Do you have the correct driving licence allowing you to tow the size and weight of the trailer?

Does the towing specification of your vehicle complement that of the trailer you are towing (the manufacturer’s handbook will verify this). also take into consideration the tyres on both trailer and vehicle and the terrain you will be encountering.

If the item carries liquid, you must ensure you meet transport and safety regulations for that type of fluid especially where fuels such as Diesel or Kerosene are concerned.

Our pressure washer bowser is based upon a T bar frame mounted on an Avonride rubber torsion axle.  It comes with standard road (van) tyres, but where custom builds are concerned, town and country tyres may also be specified.

The tank is an elliptical Polyethylene moulded construction which is baffled and included an 18” lockable outer hinged lid.

The pressure washer is powered by a Yanmar electrically activated L100 ten horse power engine driving a 200 bar 15 litres per minute piston pump.  There is a hand lance and 7 metres of hose stowed on a bracket.

The coupling is a Knott – Avonride auto reverse, with either 40km eye or 50mm ball break away cable and parking brake lever.

Dimensions are as follows: 1.55 Metres Wide x 3.45 Metres Long x 1.3 metres High

Unladen weight: 385 Kg  Max laden weight: 1500 Kg Towing height (level) 400 mm

Diesel bowsers are a boon for site work where frequent top ups of power tools and plant is required.

Available in a range of tank sizes, the bowsers are mounted on an A frame drawbar. Towing connection is by a 2” forged, welded ring eye.

The outer bund tank is of a cylindrical steel construction, containing the inner tank which is of translucent heavy duty Polyethylene with 2” filler caps and vent valve.

Fuel is pumped from the bowser tank via a rotary hand pump with 15 feet of 1” hose and complete with a trigger nozzle stowed on a bracket with Y strainer. The assembly is contained inside the lockable bund compartment.

Dimensions for the 2140 litre variant are: 1.8 metres Wide x 3.7 metres Long x 1.9 metres high.

For the 950 litre model, they are: 1.4 metres Wide x 3.1 metres Long x 1.5 metres High.

We’re introducing other capacity models to our range and will be promoting these soon.

Tardis also carried a range of plant items ideal for site work which includes on demand, electric and petrol driven pumps and generators.
