For Those Who Occasionally Need Industrial Heat
The BE Power Equipment 96012V Vertical Electric-Ignition Diesel-Fired Hot Box is designed for professionals who need hot water cleaning power without investing in a full hot water pressure washer. This standalone hot box connects directly to a cold water pressure washer, instantly converting it into a hot water pressure washing system capable of tackling grease, oil, grime, and heavy buildup with ease.
Engineered for mobile and stationary applications, the 96012V operates on 12VDC power, making it ideal for truck-mounted, trailer-mounted, and remote jobsite setups. With a powerful 550,000 BTU diesel-fired burner, this hot box heats water up to 93°C / 200°F, dramatically improving cleaning efficiency while reducing chemical use and labor time.
Built into a rugged, powder-coated steel frame, the 96012V is designed to withstand demanding work environments while delivering reliable, on-demand hot water whenever the job requires it.
Built to Upgrade Cold Water Pressure Washers
The 96012V hot box is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing pressure washing equipment and is ideal for applications such as:
Fleet and heavy equipment cleaning
Oil, grease, and hydraulic fluid removal
Agricultural and farm equipment washing
Industrial maintenance and wash bays
Construction and transportation cleanup
Hot water significantly accelerates grease and oil breakdown, allowing operators to clean faster, more effectively, and with less detergent.
