Truck Mounted Carpet Cleaning

November 9th, 2009

Truck Mount Carpet Cleaning is the most accepted method of cleaning carpets in the United States.

Two Types of Truck Mount Carpet Cleaners

There are two types of TMs. The slide in is a Truck mount that has its own motor.   The Direct Drive TMs use the vehicle motor to drive the carpet cleaning equipment.

Direct Drive Advantages

  1. There is only one motor that needs to be serviced.
  2. Direct drives can leave more space in the vehicle because they do not have a motor and exaust system back there to take up space.
  3. They usually have plenty of power and lots ofr torque to power the equipment.  They are usually quieter because they are using the regular exhaust system of the vehicle.
  4. Some of the most reliable truckmounts are Direct Drive.
  5. The only Truckmount with a ten year parts warranty is a direct drive.

Advantages to Slide in Truck Mounts

  1. Simpler to manufacture
  2. Can be mounted in a Trailer
  3. Easier to sell without selling the van too.
  4. More design flexibilty, you can use heat exchangers or Propane heaters or both
  5. The machine can be set to work from the back door or the side door.
  6. Easier to move from vehicle to vehicle
  7. Easier Installation in a Ford, Dodge, Chevvy, Mitsubishi or any vehicle that is large enough.

Disadvantages to Slide ins

  1. Two motors to maintain

  3. Often they use up more space in the vehicle than DD but not always.

Disadvantages to Direct Drive Truck Mount Carpet Cleaners

  1. It is a  big job to remove and reinstall the Direct Drive Unit
  2. If you have a major vehicle problem it is difficult to mount the unit in another vehicle.
