Soft Washing Trailers and Skids
Soft Wash Trailers & Skids
Serious Chemical Control. Zero Mickey Mouse Plumbing.
A soft wash skid shouldn't be a chemical tank, a pump, and a prayer.
ProTool builds professional soft wash trailers and skids engineered around powerful pumps, smart chemical metering, rugged plumbing, organized hose reels, and controls that make your workday easier.
From compact truck-mounted soft wash systems to fully equipped trailers with remote operation and multiple cleaning capabilities, we build rigs designed for roof cleaning, house washing, and demanding commercial work.
Less messing with equipment. More washing. That's the ProTool way.
Soft Wash Skids Built for Contractors Who Mean Business
A soft wash skid should do more than hold a pump and a chemical tank. It should make your operation faster, more organized, and easier to run. If you're constantly fighting hoses, adjusting equipment, or walking back to the truck, something's wrong with the setup.
ProTool builds professional soft wash skids and trailers that integrate dedicated soft wash pumps, chemical tanks, metering systems, hose reels, plumbing, and optional remote controls into one purpose-built cleaning platform.
Whether you're cleaning roofs, washing houses, or tackling commercial building exteriors, we design around the equipment and workflow your operation actually needs.
A tank, a pump, and a pile of hoses isn't a system. It's a project waiting to happen.
Soft Wash Trailers. Bring the Whole Operation.
Need more capacity, more equipment, and room to grow? A properly configured soft wash trailer gives contractors a mobile platform for chemical application, water storage, hose management, and additional cleaning systems.
ProTool soft wash trailers can integrate dedicated soft wash pumps, separate chemical and water tanks, metering manifolds, electric hose reels, and remote-controlled equipment functions.
We build open trailer configurations for straightforward equipment access and enclosed trailer systems for operations that benefit from additional equipment protection and organized storage.
Want pressure washing on the same trailer? We can integrate that too. Need pure water equipment for window cleaning? Let's talk.
One trailer. Serious capability. No rolling spaghetti factory.
Truck-Mounted Soft Wash Skids. Compact Doesn't Mean Compromised.
Not every contractor wants to tow a trailer around town. A truck-mounted soft wash skid can provide professional chemical application equipment in a compact, organized footprint.
ProTool designs soft wash skids for compatible pickup trucks, commercial trucks, vans, and flatbeds. We consider available space, payload, tank placement, equipment access, and the practical realities of working from the vehicle.
Configurations can range from dedicated soft wash systems to combination skids that include pressure washing and other cleaning capabilities.
Less trailer. More truck. Still plenty of attitude.
Soft Wash Pumps. Pick the Right Muscle for the Job.
Your soft wash pump is the heart of the operation. But more flow or pressure isn't automatically the answer. The right pump depends on your cleaning applications, hose requirements, chemical compatibility, and how you plan to operate the system.
12V Soft Wash Pumps
12V diaphragm pumps can be a practical choice for compact soft wash systems and applications with moderate flow requirements. They're commonly used in portable and entry-level configurations where simplicity and a smaller equipment footprint matter.
ProTool BPX25 Soft Wash Systems
The BPX25 is a professional soft wash pump platform delivering approximately 7 GPM with pressure capability up to 220 PSI, depending on the system configuration and operating conditions.
ProTool integrates BPX25 pumps into soft wash skids and combination builds for contractors who need a more substantial pumping system than a typical small 12V setup.
High-Flow P40 Soft Wash Systems
For larger applications, ProTool also builds systems around higher-flow soft wash equipment such as the P40 pump, with approximately 11 GPM nominal flow.
These configurations require properly matched plumbing, hoses, water and chemical supply, and supporting equipment.
A serious pump deserves a serious system behind it. Otherwise, you're just buying expensive problems.
Chemical Metering Systems. Get the Mix Right.
Soft washing is about applying the right cleaning solution to the right surface. Chemical metering gives operators a practical way to adjust the proportion of water, sodium hypochlorite, and surfactant being drawn into compatible systems.
ProTool soft wash skids can incorporate metering manifolds with dedicated chemical connections, adjustable valves, and plumbing designed around the selected pump and application.
Our clear metering manifold options also make it easier to visually inspect the manifold and its connections.
Actual chemical concentration depends on the source solution, metering settings, pump operation, and system configuration. Always follow chemical manufacturer instructions and applicable safety requirements.
Know what you're spraying. Know how you're mixing it. Stop guessing.
Remote-Controlled Soft Wash Systems. Work Smarter.
Here's a question: why walk hundreds of feet back to your truck every time you need to operate a supported equipment function?
ProTool can integrate Skid Nexus remote-control systems into compatible soft wash builds, giving operators remote access to selected functions based on the equipment configuration.
Depending on the build, remote integration can help simplify equipment operation and reduce unnecessary trips back to the skid.
Remote-control range and available functions vary by system and operating environment.
Your feet have better things to do than run back to the trailer all day.
Electric Hose Reels. Because Nobody Loves Winding Hose.
Hose management is one of those details that seems small until you're doing it over and over, job after job.
ProTool soft wash skids can incorporate electric hose reels, manual reels, and organized hose routing based on the vehicle, equipment layout, and operator's needs.
We pay attention to where reels are mounted, how hoses deploy, and whether operators can access the equipment without climbing over half the rig.
For compatible builds, curbside reel placement can make setup and breakdown more convenient.
All your hoses curbside. All your winding done for you.
Soft Washing and Pressure Washing. Better Together.
Roof cleaning and house washing may be the bread and butter of your operation, but what happens when the customer also wants the driveway, sidewalks, or parking area cleaned?
That's where a combination pressure washing and soft washing skid earns its keep.
ProTool builds integrated systems with dedicated equipment for chemical application and high-pressure cleaning. Depending on the configuration, we can combine soft wash pumps, pressure washers, water storage, chemical tanks, metering systems, and multiple hose reels on the same platform.
The systems are designed around their respective operating requirements, rather than forcing one pump to do everything.
Roofs, houses, concrete. One well-built rig. A whole lot more opportunity.
What Makes a ProTool Soft Wash Skid Different?
Built In-House. Built to Take a Beating.
Our team designs, fabricates, plumbs, wires, and assembles ProTool soft wash systems in-house. We consider how the equipment will be used, maintained, and serviced before calling a build complete.
That means practical component placement, organized plumbing, accessible equipment, and layouts that make sense for working contractors.
We build working equipment. Not showroom decorations.
Built with Chemical Exposure in Mind.
Soft wash equipment operates around aggressive cleaning chemicals, particularly sodium hypochlorite. Material selection, plumbing design, component placement, and maintenance access all matter.
We select components for their intended service and design the layout with chemical exposure and routine maintenance in mind. No system is immune to chemical damage, so proper rinsing, inspection, and maintenance remain essential.
Bleach is hard on equipment. Pretending otherwise is harder on your wallet.
Custom Configurations. No Cookie-Cutter Nonsense.
Need a compact truck skid with a BPX25 and electric reels? We can build that. Want a high-capacity soft wash trailer with remote controls and multiple tanks? Let's get to work.
We use proven equipment configurations as a starting point, then tailor the build around your vehicle, cleaning applications, preferred equipment, and workflow.
Your operation isn't identical to the guy down the street. Your skid doesn't have to be either.
Tested Before Shipping.
Completed ProTool soft wash builds undergo testing of their installed equipment and integrated functions appropriate to the configuration before shipping.
We check system operation and address identified issues before the equipment leaves our shop.
We build it. We test it. Then we send it out to earn its keep.
Lifetime Warranty. Real Support.
ProTool skids, carts, and systems are backed by a lifetime warranty, subject to applicable terms and exclusions. Individual components may have separate manufacturer warranties, and normal maintenance or chemical-related wear may not be covered.
Need help troubleshooting, finding replacement parts, or upgrading your equipment? Our team is here to help work through the problem, even years after delivery. Some parts and services may be billable.
We built it. We stand behind it. And we still answer the phone.
Frequently Asked Questions About Soft Wash Skids & Trailers
Buying or upgrading a professional soft wash system? Here are the answers worth knowing before you start building.
What is a soft wash skid?
A soft wash skid is a mobile equipment platform that integrates a low-pressure chemical application pump, chemical storage, plumbing, hoses, and controls for exterior cleaning. Soft wash skids can be installed on compatible trucks, vans, trailers, or flatbeds.
Think professional cleaning system. Not a chemical tank with commitment issues.
What is a soft wash trailer?
A soft wash trailer is a towable cleaning platform equipped with pumps, chemical and water tanks, hose reels, and plumbing for low-pressure exterior cleaning. Commercial soft wash trailers may also include chemical metering, remote controls, and pressure washing equipment.
Everything your soft wash operation needs. On wheels and ready to work.
What is the difference between a soft wash skid and a soft wash trailer?
A soft wash skid is an equipment assembly designed to mount on a compatible supporting platform, while a soft wash trailer includes the towable trailer itself. Both can contain pumps, tanks, hose reels, chemical metering, and controls.
Same job. Different way to bring the equipment.
What is the best pump for a soft wash skid?
The best soft wash pump depends on the required flow, operating pressure, chemical compatibility, hose length, and cleaning applications. Common options include 12V diaphragm pumps, BPX25 pumps, and higher-flow P40 systems.
Pick the pump for the work. Then build the system to keep up.
What is the difference between a 12V soft wash pump and a gas-powered soft wash pump?
A 12V soft wash pump uses an electric motor powered by a low-voltage electrical system, while gas-powered configurations use an engine to drive the pump. Gas-powered systems are often selected for higher-flow applications, although actual performance depends on the pump and system design.
Different power sources. Different capabilities. Get the one that fits the job.
What is chemical metering on a soft wash system?
Chemical metering is the process of adjusting the proportions of water, cleaning chemical, and surfactant entering a compatible soft wash system. Metering manifolds use adjustable valves or other controls to regulate the mixture.
Better control over the mix. Less guesswork at the truck.
Can a soft wash skid be used for roof cleaning?
Yes. Soft wash skids are commonly used for roof cleaning with appropriate low-pressure chemical application methods. The cleaning solution, equipment settings, and procedure must be compatible with the roof material and manufacturer guidance.
Clean the roof. Don't beat the hell out of it.
