DTLR pressure washers, frames and hose reels

DTLR 2 Pro. The DTLR 2 Pro Electric Pressure Washer gives up to 160 bar and 10 litres a minute from a 3.0kW induction motor, with a brass pump that runs at a low 1450rpm and below 80dB. It weighs about 22kg, takes water up to 60°C and comes with a 15m high-pressure hose, a 500mm stainless detailing lance and three quick-release nozzles (0°, 25° and 40°).

DTLR 2 Lite. The DTLR 2 Lite Electric Pressure Washer has a 2500W motor, 150 bar maximum and 114 bar working pressure, and 8.45 litres a minute, so it suits home and light trade use where water use matters. Its kit has a short trigger gun, a snow foam cannon, a 10m steel-braided hose, a 500mm lance and four quick-release nozzles (0°, 25°, 40° and 65°). Both machines have the Total Stop System, which switches the motor off when you release the trigger, cutting noise and wear.

Frames and reels. For a fixed bay, the DTLR2 Pro Wall Mount Frame and Hose Reel and the DTLR2 Lite Wall Mount Frame and Hose Reel lift the machine off the floor with an integrated hose reel; the Lite version comes with a 15m hose fitted. For mobile work, the DTLR2 Lite Caddy is a light powder-coated steel floor frame with anti-slip feet, and the DTLR2 Pro Caddy is a heavy-duty frame with wheels, a handle and a pre-drilled plate for a pump and motor. Both caddies come with a 15m hose.
