What does the experienced professional cleaner want when he buys a truckmounted system today? Choices, and there are plenty of them. While the choices are many, they can generally be put into four main categories. There are time saving options and van organizer systems. There are quality boosting accessories and options that allow you to expand the services you offer. There is just about anything the well-heeled carpet cleaner could want.

Time Savers: Time is money in a service business like ours. Tops in this category have to be Fresh Water Tanks. These popular options save time and hassle on every job which adds up quickly. The popularity of Electric-Powered Hose Reels is growing lately, allowing quicker recovery of hoses and tons of operator-energy savings. Automatic Pump-Out Systems (APO ) not only save time by dumping wastewater automatically, but they also keep you on the right side of the law.

Van Organizers: Cleaners today want to carry more and more in their trucks. This can quickly lead to chaos and damage to equipment if things aren't stowed correctly. Options that help the cleaner with this task include Storage Hose Reels for vacuum hoses, solution lines and fresh-water supply hoses. These reels can be individual or grouped together and there are dozens of choices. Every organized truck has to have Chemical Storage Racks, not to mention Airmover Shelves, Small Article Bins, Sprayer Holders, Furniture Protector Pad Dispensers, Wand-Storage Racks and Rake & Brush Clips.

Quality Boosters: Some accessories and options are chosen simply for their ability to enhance cleaning effectiveness. Chief among these options is the Rotary Power Head, designed to replace the wand. These tools invariably improve the quality and consistency of cleaning with sweat-savings as a bonus. New faster-drying technology promises a powerful benefit on some Power Heads. Another great truckmount option to consider is a Heat Boosting System. The value of heat in improving cleaning quality and speed is widely accepted and these options are very popular. Optional Water Softening Equipment has a wonderful, positive effect on cleaning and provides protection for a truckmount's water heating system at the same time.

Service Expanders: Sometimes the simple addition of an accessory enables a truckmount system to perform new tasks. This adds utility value to the truckmount as well as possible new sources of income for the company. The hottest example of this type of accessory has to be the new breed of Hard-Surface Cleaning Tools and Hard-Surface Attachments for Power Heads. Many cleaners have added this profitable new service. Other accessories that expand the services your truckmount can perform include Upholstery Cleaning Tools , Pressure Washing Tools and Stair Tools.

Customizing your truckmount system has never been easier. Now, more than ever, you can effectively set-up your truck to serve your business in the best way possible.
