Trailer Rig vs. Skid

When it comes to choosing between a trailer rig and a skid for exterior cleaning equipment, there are a few things to consider.

A trailer rig is a type of mobile cleaning system that is mounted on a trailer, which can be hitched to a truck or van for transportation. Trailer rigs tend to have larger tanks and higher GPM (gallons per minute) rates, making them suitable for heavy-duty jobs such as fleet washing or large-scale commercial cleaning. The trailer-mounted system allows for more storage space and easier access to all of the necessary components, including the pressure washer, hose reels, and water tanks.

On the other hand, a skid system is a self-contained unit that can be mounted on a truck or van. Skids tend to have smaller tanks and lower GPM rates, making them more suitable for residential cleaning and smaller commercial jobs. Skids take up less space and are more compact than trailer rigs, which can make them easier to maneuver in tight spaces or urban environments.

The choice between a trailer rig and a skid system will depend on the types of jobs you plan to take on, as well as your transportation and storage needs. If you plan on taking on larger jobs, a trailer rig may be the better choice, as it will give you more storage space and a higher GPM rate. If you plan on focusing on smaller residential jobs, a skid system may be more practical and easier to transport. Ultimately, it’s important to evaluate your specific needs and choose the system that best suits your business.
