Buying Decisions - Portable Truck Mount

Edited by kkForumAdmin

I am actually buying one of those next month!

sure takes up a lot of space for nothing...lol waste of time and money if you ask me...

well at least the custy will hear all that noise and think you're doing a good job...lol

he should buy your truck andy...it aint that much more...lol

The only thing I will offer on this subject is this:

I have to agree with John L. My experiences are that a #2 blower does not have enough performance. This opinion, does not in any way, knock this particular product.

The purchaser must ultimately purchase the product he/she feels comfortable with in the end and must then move forward toward the goal of success.

JTUSEO: You are buying one of these? Which HP are You getting? Are You buying the tanks to go with it?

JOHN L: The owner said for me just starting out that this might be too much power, that conflicts with what You said. They do make a 15 HP / 36 Blower
for $8995.00, But then I'm rite back at a truck mount cost, And I'm in a enclosed trailer situation now with the prowler and tanks so I might as well mount a TM in the trailer, And be done with it, HEH????

STEAMINPILE: What does that mean? Dirty water is discharged into the tank, How can that create suction to collapse the tank? There is NOT a portable anywhere on the market that is as powerful as this! This machine would eliminate the need to purchase a porty + 10,000 watt generator.
But then again it would be nice to have the Equity in a generator.

- How come I cannot seem to find the right equipment for my needs. Is there not a company out there that can help a new person get the rite equipment? This is the most frustrating decision I have dealt with in a while. I thought You guys would say this is a good step up from a portable and would be strong enough to do both commercial & Residential while keeping initial start up at around $7K

At first I was looking for something to put inside my Cargo van on a Mon and take out on a friday, Because the Van is used for another business on the weekends. Now I'm thinking that would be a pain in the A**, And to buy a 5X8 Enclosed trailer and buy a good setup for around $7K that will last and has great suction power and Heat, The prowler pictures above is the only thing I know to do, I need more options it sounds like, You guys don't like that set-up!

Hey max,

The owner said "too much power". lol  It's not a Vortex. Take 150' of hose on nylon carpet and test it. Do 2 clean and one dry stroke, now feel how much moisture is their.

I would say the most versatile/less maintenance unit with excellent power would be the "RECOIL QUAD-PAK". It's not heavy, unload quik for apt work. and you have the booster for additional power and hose runs.

I also own a RECOIL, and that's why i say this. I have owned 4 diff. porty's and RECOIL was my favorite.

I love my TM, but sometimes wished I'd bought the quadpak.

Whatsmore, Goodluck on support with amtek, I talked to them and that man was very rude on the phone.
