What's the difference between a hot water and cold water pressure washer?

Hot water pressure washers heat the water to break down grease, oil, and baked-on grime, making them ideal for shops and fleet degreasing. Cold water units rely on pressure and volume alone, which suits dirt, mud, and general washing. Vovlift stocks both across electric and gas drives.

How do I size a generator for my equipment?

Match the generator's kilowatt rating and voltage to your equipment's running and startup load, adding headroom for motor surge. Vovlift's Makinex generators range from 9kW to 32kW in 240V and 480V configurations. Call +1 (307) 441-5529 with your load list and we'll help you confirm the right unit.

Do these units ship with warranty and freight?

Yes. Every unit carries the manufacturer warranty listed on its product page and ships by insured LTL freight. Larger pressure washers, generators, and floor washers are palletized for safe transit. Check each listing's spec table for exact warranty terms and included components before ordering.

How to Choose Maintenance & Power Equipment

This category spans two jobs: cleaning and powering. Pressure washers handle degreasing, fleet washing, and surface prep; generators, pumps, and compressors supply the power, water movement, and air behind them. Start by defining the task, then match flow (GPM), pressure (PSI), and drive type — electric for indoor or fixed bays, gas or diesel for remote sites.

Should I buy a hot water or cold water pressure washer?

Choose hot water when you're cutting grease, oil, or baked-on grime — heat breaks down oils that cold water only pushes around. Cold water gas units like the 5,000 PSI B5024HTBC suit dirt, mud, and general fleet washing at lower cost. Hot water models run from 1,000 to 4,400 PSI here.

Do I need electric or gas/diesel power on site?

Electric pressure washers and Baldor-motor units fit indoor bays with wiring and no exhaust concerns, running at 115V through 460V. Gas and diesel-drive units — Honda GX390/GX690 engines and diesel-fired hot boxes — serve remote lots without power. For portable AC power, Makinex generators cover 9kW to 32kW.
