Structure/Design
The BD Series employs an expert design ideal for long-term durability, highlighted by a powerful roll-cage chassis that protects the internal parts of the engine structure. The unibody design of the chassis is perfect for reducing vibration, while the 100% steel frame is coated with powder coat paint that is ideal for preventing corrosion. The structure is supported and moved using either a 2-wheel or 4-wheel system comprised of 13-inch pneumatic tires.
Pump and Hose System
The BD Series utilizes a powerful triplex pump along with a heavy-duty inlet water filter to provide a superior cleaning experience. It also includes 4 different nozzles ranging from 0 degrees to 40 degrees for all types of cleaning projects, while also providing a separate detergent nozzle. Water is transported through a 50ft wire-braided hose that incorporates guards, couples, and swivels at each end of the hose. Both the high-pressure relief valve and trigger gun control system promotes a safe and convenient user experience.
