What does the term "truckmounted" mean in carpet cleaning?
In the world of carpet cleaners, to be "truckmounted" simply means that a cleaning machine used to clean carpets is mounted on or in a vehicle, usually inside of a van. This machine is usually a standalone unit. It is very powerful and does not require anything more than just a water connection from a prospective clients residence or business. These machines were made to provide a simultaneous combination of hot water / steam injection and powerful vacuum extraction, in order to get your carpets clean and dry.
Truck mounted units provide powerful vacuum suction for water extraction and use a "heat exchanger" to heat the water, bringing it's temperature up to 210 degrees farenheit... or at least a good one does anyway! Some truckmount machines were designed to draw heat from multiple sources making for maintainable temperatures of up to 270 degrees farenheit while cleaning your carpets! Wow - hot!!
