A truck mounted carpet cleaner is a carpet and upholstery cleaning unit that is generally mounted to the floor of a van or trailer. Its cleaning method is hot water extraction. The operator would park the van near the premises and connect the vacuum hose and solution line hose into the machine, bring the hoses into the building and connect a carpet cleaning wand to the end of the hoses

Benefits to the operator and the client

Typical small machines start off at 16 horse power and range up to anything to 60 horse power Van powered P.T.O. units are available on the market. Truck Mounted units heat their water by one of two methods. -The first is by heat -exchanger. This heating method runs water through a coil of copper which is then placed in a stainless steel tube which has exhaust from the unit running over it. This super-heats the water in just seconds. -The second is by a small hot water heater that is powered by propane gas. This type of unit is usually less expensive to purchase but ultimately more expensive due to the weekly cost of propane.

Traditionally, Truck mounted carpet cleaning machines have been more powerful than portable carpet cleaning units.

Currently it is estimated that only 28% of professional carpet cleaners currently use Truck Mounted Carpet Cleaning Machines.
