Mobile Tank Wash Power Unit
36 GPM at 1000 PSI
Bring the Wash Bay to the Tank
Diesel-Powered Cleaning for Rail Yards, Remote Sites
When transporting a tank to a fixed wash facility isn’t practical or possible — the Mobile Tank Wash Power Unit from Tank Wash Solutions delivers full industrial cleaning capability right where the tank sits. Built around a heavy-duty Hydra-Cell® D-35 pump and powered by a reliable 3-cylinder diesel engine, this skid-mounted unit gives operators 36 GPM at 1000 PSI of self-contained, grid-independent cleaning power.
Whether you operate a rail yard, run an over-the-road tank fleet, manage a transload terminal, this system eliminates the single biggest bottleneck in tank cleaning logistics: getting the tank to the bay.
Why Choose a Mobile Tank Wash Power Unit?
Reach Tanks And Equipment That Can’t Reach You
Rail cars blocked on a track. Parked trailers waiting on repair. Cement trucks seizing up between pours. Heavy Equipment caked in mud. These scenarios shut down traditional fixed-facility workflows — and cost your operation thousands per hour in lost throughput. A mobile power unit eliminates the bottleneck and keeps revenue flowing.
Operate Completely Off-Grid
A 3-cylinder Isuzu or Kubota diesel engine means no electrical connection needed, Roll up, fire up, wash down. Pair with optional outboard style fuel tank for extended runtimes.
Built for Real-World Abuse
Hydra-Cell® positive displacement diaphragm pumps from Wanner Engineering are the gold standard for handling chemical-laden cleaning solutions that destroy high pressure plunger pumps. The Wanner C-24A regulating valve provides precise pressure control for driving a tank spinner.
Engineered for Performance
The heart of the system is the Hydra-Cell® D-35 positive displacement diaphragm pump — an industry workhorse known for handling aggressive chemistries and abrasives that would chew through a typical plunger pump. Sealless and packing-free design means dramatically lower maintenance costs over the unit’s service life. Paired with the Wanner C-24A regulating valve, the unit delivers consistent, repeatable performance hour after hour.
