Wow, definitely a Cadillac of rigs. I could not imagine what could posibly be cleaned with 40,000 psi. I didn't see where it said anything about pressure that high. I did see 11,600 psi.

I would find it very difficult to legitimize spending that kind of dough on a rig. For that money you can build something housing triple hot water ten gallon per minute machines, chem tanks, reserve tanks, multiple surface cleaners with reclaim and enough hose to clean a city block. I do like the style and concept of that rig, I just find it overkill for the type of cleaning my company performs.

Those high PSI rigs are for all kinds of applications not anything the average PW company does. Water blasting I have used 11,000 psi waterblasting on bridges. man you have to be strong to hang on to that, its a ball buster. I knew of a company that blasted epoxies off high rise balconies at close to 40,000 psi, its contrlled some and its not like you are holding on for dear life at 40,000psi. I am sure there are tons of applications/ I guess if you wanted to strip vinyl siding off a house you could do it real quick LOL

Like Ken said,
If I had a need for that type of equipment, I'd buy it. Being we are a lowly small time PW business and do not do that type work, I'd only dream of owning the equipment. Kinda like us buying a 2-3 ton truck to carry around a 1,000 lbs. of equipment? Thanks for sharing the thought.

There are a lot of high dollar applications for equipment like that. For instance, a bridge was constructed, all the steel is in place, but the concrete does not meet the standard specified. Take this Ultra high pressure machine, and remove teh concrete, and it is ready, after form up, to repour, without having to do the structural steel.
Another example, Say you need bore a line in solid rock, This machine can do it.
There are a bunch of other similar, high level uses. And they all pay far higher than the proverbial $100 an hour.
