The Kärcher HDS 13/20 De Tr1 is a premium diesel-powered hot water pressure cleaning trailer engineered for businesses that require complete independence from mains power and water supplies. Delivering up to 2,900 PSI (200 Bar) operating pressure and an adjustable flow rate of 15 to 21.7 litres per minute, this self-contained cleaning system is designed for demanding industrial, construction and municipal applications where reliable hot water cleaning is essential.

Powered by a proven 26 HP Yanmar industrial diesel engine, the HDS 13/20 De Tr1 combines outstanding cleaning performance with exceptional fuel efficiency. Because the unit operates independently of external power, it is ideal for remote worksites, civil construction projects, mining operations, heavy equipment maintenance and large fleet washdown where mobility is critical.

At the heart of the machine is Kärcher's industrial high-pressure pump, engineered for continuous professional operation. Combined with Kärcher's highly efficient burner system, the HDS 13/20 De Tr1 produces powerful hot water capable of breaking down grease, oil, fuel residue, heavy mud and stubborn industrial contamination far more effectively than cold water alone.

One of the key advantages of this machine is its fully self-sufficient design. The integrated 500-litre water tank provides up to 30 minutes of cleaning at maximum water output, while the 100-litre diesel fuel tank allows extended operating times between refuelling. This makes the HDS 13/20 De Tr1 an ideal solution for locations where water and electricity are unavailable or impractical.

Kärcher's innovative Eco!efficiency mode helps reduce fuel consumption and operating costs by recovering waste heat from the diesel engine to assist with water heating. This proven technology not only improves efficiency but also reduces emissions while maintaining outstanding cleaning performance throughout the working day.

Designed for harsh Australian environments, the trailer incorporates a range of professional features including a built-in water softening system to protect the heating coil, integrated frost protection, advanced onboard diagnostics for simplified servicing and a large service hood that provides easy access to key components. Safe onboard storage for personal protective equipment, detergents and accessories further improves convenience for operators working in the field.
