Shhhhh.... Don't wake the sleeping Lion w/ 20hp Honda!!!

[Carpet Cleaning Fool]

This dude is a crack up!!! And, he is king of the jungle in portable truckmount design!

I've had my eye on him for a while.

Much impressed with his latest invention! The Lioness!!!

The only thing missing is the 2.5 vacuum inlet.

But ... where does the dirt go?

 

[sweendogg]

auto discharge... come on porky, pay attention now! :mrgreen:

Yup, these units run the used solution right through the blower if I'm not mistaken...

 

[hogjowl]

I wonder if routing the exhaust down and under the machine, and then T connecting it to the other cylinder causes back pressure on the head?

I can see blown head gaskets in that Lions future.

Sounds like the Prowler is popular in the UK.

Wonder if $8 gallon fuel prices has anything to do with it?

It has a 20 HP gasoline motor. Sounds like it will consume the same gasoline as any 20 HP slide-in.

BTW, where's the gas tank?

I think the trend for tm's is going to be smaller units. This looks like a winner but time will tell. If it shows to be dependable and really do what they say it will then they have a good future. Is anyone using ine of Amtex now that are similar to this?

 

[Able 1]

Is that CanYouHemiNow in the vid.?

I think this guy must have worked for Chem-Tex and Copied their “Engineering”.

 

[dealtimeman]

why do you say that mike?

 

[Mikey P]

Why would anybody need a machine like that?



I just don't see a situation where a vanless, tankless unit would be used every day.

bet Cole could....

Wonder what the cost of one is? Maybe half that of your beloved Judson. (This is the point where I usually start receiving threatening messages from that pos greenie. Guess I don't have to worry bout that anymore). Hehehe...

The dude sure seems like a mikeyboarder though. Have you talked w/ him bout a banner yet?

make a nice portable if you run it on propane.

I could see using it at some apartment complexes where you could roll it across the lawn and right up to the door. But otherwise i couldnt see using it everyday.

 

[Chads]

Thats the point its not for us typical carpet cleaners its for apartment complexes and dorm room houses who just want to spending there money with us. Go to big college towns and you will see them, I have they just roll them around right up to the stair cases and hack those places out charging the crap out of students.

Pull up the Amtex site then look at the machines on the back of your cleanfax. The prowler looks exactly like the navigator. The slide ins have the same archaic hot water bypass (at the machine and wand). The fact that they are both in texas leads me believe they have must have some history.
