10,000 Sq ft of concrete cleaning today

[Mark Saiger]

Was crazy day again...

10,000 Sq ft of carpet cleaning added on yesterday...

10,000 Sq ft of concrete cleaning today...

Concrete wheel kit on the Turbo Force TH 40 Spinner....



Sweeping like crazy first

Prespray some hard surface juice direct from Atlanta GA

Extract with Turbo Force TH 40 Spinner and Concrete wheel kit...

2 Butler High Heat truckmounts and 2 units with 3 guys

I have a couple of accounts I could do this on.. The guys that do it now just pressure wash the concrete, is that faster then running a spinner? What is the going rate?

Not a buck a foot.

That new Butler is going to be all worn out by the time Nashville comes along..

Easier to control and clean with this vs pressure wash and let go all over.

We had to recover water today and the wheel kit makes this way easier cleaning

How long did it take(including sweeping)? I'm always waiting for them before I clean common areas..

This was an all day project with 2 units going.

We have all the carpet cleaning coming up next.....

We can do that twice as fast.

Been thinking about the wheel kit or just biting the bullet and getting the 17 inch with the wheel kit. What do you think of it compared to say just having the brush ring?

If doing concrete I would have a wheel kit. We were using the Nylon ring but it barely touched the ground most times.

If you didn't recover the water a large concrete Spinner and pressure washer way to go.

We were at 1000 psi and letting chems do more of the work.

But, we had to recover today, so the little larger unit would have been nice.... But we got it done with what we had and they now see the difference compared to past and are willing to pay for bigger price increase next year.

I will make it up here on the carpet cleaning like I usually do

In many localities, recovery is mandatory when cleaning parking garages and lots due to the likelyhood of heavy automotive fluid contamination.

Irregardless if recovery is mandatory or not, surface spinners are always faster and easier when doing large amounts of flatwork, and recovery is always a plus as it cuts down on the mess, and additional effort to manage/control waste water and the need to repeatedly "push" it around towards drains, exits, or wherever you happen to want it to go, which can be very tedious, and a production rate killer.

Trying to attack that size of a job with only lances would be a nightmare.

Most decent size P'washing specific surface spinners, which can get as big as 22 inches in diameter (not smaller T/G ones like the TurboForce/Hybrid) usually require 4+gpm pump output at a absolute minimum to run effectively, which is often out of reach of most CC unit pumps.

I wonder if they make a wheel kit for the CX-15?

I wonder if they make a wheel kit for the CX-15?

I have had people contact me and tell me, they do not....

But I did make a second wheel kit out of aluminum. (Luckily or I would still be there I think vs typing this)

I have not looked at the CX 15 carefully but will look a little closer and see if I can come up with something for a wheel kit too....

A good electric leaf blower is AMAZING for both the pre sweep, and occasionally herding water.

We've done several factory warehouses and such. It's not CC but it pays well.

I looked at pics and pretty sure I could make a cart for this....

Would be similar to the one above....

We tried the 17" model and found that it didn't clean as well at 1500 PSI and 230 degrees heat.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

We have the 17" with wheel kit. Needs 2500psi to work well.

Justin and Jon run 2x 15" turbos off the 870 with power and heat to spare

Good information....thank you guys!

What Lee said - these units best at 2500-3000 psi and about 5gpm. Apply detergent with a foam gun
