A cold weather package lets you keep pressure washing through the winter. It insulates the trailer, heats it with propane and electric baseboard heat, and keeps water in the tank, pump, hoses and burner from freezing between jobs. Hot And Mighty's CWP (Cold Weather Package) is available on our enclosed General, Commander and Invader series pressure washer trailers.
Why winter is hard on pressure washing equipment
Water expands when it freezes. A single cold night can crack a pump manifold, split a heating coil, burst hoses or freeze a water tank solid. Operators without heated equipment either shut down for the season or spend every morning thawing and every evening draining. A heated, insulated trailer removes that risk and lets you keep billing through the cold months.

Frequently asked questions
Can I pressure wash in freezing temperatures?
Yes, with the right equipment. A hot water pressure washer in a heated, insulated trailer keeps the machine and water supply from freezing, and hot water prevents ice from forming as quickly on the surface you're cleaning.
Do I still need to winterize a cold weather package trailer?
If the heat will be off for an extended period, yes. Drain the system or run antifreeze through the pump, coil and hoses. The heating package protects the unit between jobs and overnight when the heat is running.
Can the cold weather package be added to any trailer?
It's built into our enclosed trailer packages and can be specified on most custom builds. Call us to discuss your setup.
