Build Your Own Pressure Washing Trailer: Pick Your Equipment. See Your Price. Build It Your Way.
Buying a pressure washing trailer shouldn't feel like ordering equipment in the dark.
You know what you want to clean. You know how you want to work. And you've probably got a pretty good idea of what equipment you need to get the job done.
So why should you have to fill out a quote form, wait for someone to call you, and go back and forth just to find out what your trailer might cost?
At ProTool, we figured there was a better way.
Introducing the ProTool Build Configurator — an interactive online builder that lets you design your own commercial cleaning rig, select your equipment, add upgrades, and watch your estimated price change in real time.
Think building an F-150 on Ford's website. Except instead of choosing a truck engine and trim package, you're choosing pressure washers, soft wash pumps, hose reels, and the equipment that makes you money.
Your rig. Your equipment. Your call.

Finally. A Better Way to Buy a Pressure Washing Trailer.
Most pressure washing trailers are sold one of two ways.
You buy a preconfigured package and work around whatever equipment came with it. Or you contact a manufacturer, explain what you're looking for, and start the process of getting a custom quote.
Neither approach gives you much freedom to experiment.
What if you want to compare an 8 GPM pressure washer with a 10.5 GPM setup? What if you're considering adding soft washing? What if you want electric reels but aren't sure how much they'll affect the price?
You shouldn't need three revised quotes to answer three simple questions.
With the ProTool Build Configurator, you can explore those choices yourself.
Change your equipment. Add an upgrade. Switch platforms. Watch the estimated price update.
No guessing. No waiting for an initial estimate. No starting over every time you change your mind.
And when you've built something you like, send it to the ProTool team for final review.
Step 1: Pick Your Platform
Every good build starts with the right foundation.
The ProTool Build Configurator gives you five platforms to choose from:
- Open Utility Trailer — Accessible equipment, straightforward operation, and plenty of flexibility for professional pressure washing and soft washing.
- Enclosed Trailer — A protected equipment setup with room for organized hose reels, controls, cleaning systems, and accessories.
- Truck Skid — Put your cleaning equipment in the bed of your truck and keep your trailer hitch free.
- Van Build — A self-contained cleaning setup built around a commercial van platform.
- Flatbed Build — A larger platform for high-capacity equipment and more demanding commercial applications.
Building a pressure washing trailer? Start with an open utility or enclosed trailer.
Not sure which one you want? Try both.
That's the beauty of the configurator. You're not locked into your first choice.
Step 2: Choose Your Pressure Washer
Now we're getting to the good stuff.
Your pressure washer is the heart of the operation, and choosing the right flow rate can make a serious difference in how efficiently you work.
ProTool offers commercial pressure washing equipment across several flow-rate configurations, including:
5.5 GPM — Get to Work
A capable commercial starting point for contractors who need professional equipment without jumping straight into a high-flow system.
8 GPM — Step Up Your Production
More water volume means greater potential cleaning productivity when paired with the right pressure, nozzles, surface cleaners, and water supply.
For many established pressure washing businesses, 8 GPM is a serious working setup.
10.5 GPM — Bring the Flow
High-flow equipment for contractors tackling larger jobs and demanding commercial cleaning applications.
More capacity. More production potential. Less time fighting undersized equipment.
The biggest pressure washer isn't automatically the right one. The right machine is the one that matches your work.
That's why we give you options.
Choose the equipment that makes sense for your business and see how it affects your estimated build price.
Step 3: Build Beyond Pressure Washing
Why stop at one cleaning service?
A properly equipped trailer can support multiple cleaning applications without forcing you to manage a collection of disconnected machines.
The ProTool Build Configurator lets you explore integrated equipment for more than just pressure washing.
Soft Washing
Cleaning roofs, siding, and other surfaces that call for chemical application rather than high-pressure blasting?
Add a soft wash system.
Explore available 12V and gas-powered pump configurations, including ProTool's BPX25 and P40 systems.
The goal is simple: get the right chemical delivery equipment on the same platform as your pressure washer.
Pure Water & Water-Fed Pole Cleaning
Want to add window cleaning, solar panel cleaning, or other pure water applications?
Explore ProTool HydroPanel RO/DI equipment and water-fed pole delivery options.
Pure water capability can open the door to additional services without requiring an entirely separate rig.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Solar cleaning has its own equipment demands.
Explore available solar cleaning systems and water delivery equipment to build a setup around that work.
Drone Cleaning
Running a commercial cleaning drone?
ProTool builds integrated ground-support systems for drone cleaning operations, including pressure washing, soft washing, and purified water delivery.
Instead of piecing together separate ground equipment, you can build around the services you plan to offer.
One platform. Multiple cleaning applications. Built to work together.
Step 4: Add the Upgrades That Make Your Day Easier
A good rig cleans.
A great rig makes the entire workday easier.
Once you've selected your main cleaning equipment, it's time to look at the upgrades.
Electric Hose Reels
Nobody gets into pressure washing because they love winding hundreds of feet of hose by hand.
Electric hose reels help take that chore off your plate.
Skid Nexus Remote Controls
Start, stop, and control compatible equipment without constantly walking back to the trailer.
Less back-and-forth. More time getting the job done.
Additional Build Upgrades
Depending on your configuration, you can explore available equipment controls, lighting, accessories, and other upgrades.
And here's the best part.
You can see what those upgrades do to the estimated price before you decide whether you want them.
Add it. Compare it. Keep it or take it off.
It's your build.
Step 5: Watch Your Price Come Together
This is where the ProTool Build Configurator really changes the game.
Your estimated price updates live as you build.
Choose a different pressure washer? The estimate changes.
Add a soft wash system? The estimate changes.
Want electric reels or remote controls? You can see how those options affect the estimated investment.
You're not staring at a blank quote request form wondering whether the rig you're imagining is a $15,000 build or a $50,000 build.
You're making real equipment decisions with an estimated dollar amount right in front of you.
That makes it easier to compare configurations, prioritize upgrades, and plan your investment.
And you're free to experiment.
Build a basic pressure washing trailer. Then load it up with upgrades. Compare the two.
Find the sweet spot between what you need, what you want, and what you want to spend.
The displayed amount is an estimate, not a final binding quote. Final pricing is established after the ProTool team reviews your submitted build.
Step 6: Send It to the Pros
Once you've put together a rig you like, it's time to bring in the ProTool team.
Submit your configuration and our team can review the equipment selections, integration requirements, layout, and overall feasibility.
That includes checking things like:
- Equipment and system compatibility
- Plumbing and electrical integration
- Tank placement and equipment layout
- Weight distribution and platform requirements
- Vehicle compatibility, where applicable
- Final specifications and pricing
Because selecting equipment is one thing.
Engineering a complete commercial cleaning system that works together is another.
That's where ProTool comes in.
Our job isn't just to bolt equipment to a frame. It's to design and manufacture integrated cleaning systems that make sense in the real world.
The configurator gives you control over the choices. Our team handles the engineering review that turns those choices into a properly designed build.
What If You Already Know Exactly What You Want?
Perfect.
Maybe you've been running pressure washing trailer for years. Maybe you've already got a complete equipment list. Maybe you need something unusual that doesn't fit neatly into the configurator.
We've got a path for that, too.
Use our Custom Skid & Trailer Request Form to send your requirements directly to the ProTool team.
Whether you're starting from scratch or showing up with a detailed equipment list, we're here to help turn the idea into a working rig.
Built for the Grind. Designed Around Your Business.
At ProTool, we believe commercial cleaning equipment should work as hard as the people running it.
That's why we focus on complete systems, thoughtful integration, commercial-grade construction, and equipment that can grow with your operation.
And now we're giving you a better way to get started.
No mystery packages. No wondering what an upgrade might cost. No waiting around just to explore your options.
Pick your platform. Choose your equipment. Add the upgrades. See the estimate.
Then let our team take it from there.
Build It. Price It. Make It Yours.
You've built your business your way.
Now you can build your pressure washing trailer the same way.
