How should I mount my pressure washer?

Looking for inspiration beyond the Google images that I've found. Purchased this, and would love to have it off the ground.


A quick connect from the hose to the pressure washer was a game changer, although I do think it slows the flow a little.

Any other tips such as quick change for the wand, separate wand storage, etc would be welcomed. I use this mainly to wash my car, and am always in a hurry.

I have a cheapie Ryobi 2300psi electric PW and also bought a DI water filter and want to final rinse w/ no water spots.

I have a bunch of 4inch - 80/20 aluminum and some HD casters
I’m looking to make a cart to wheel it around, i want everything on the cart, garden hose, wand, PW lines, extra spray tips, soap & foam cannon etc.

I can do my home windows, boat, off road toys, patio furniture etc

ill make a bypass for the DI filter you only final rinse with the DI - wet car, soap - Foam cannon, wipe down car with soap mit, rinse and final rinse w/ DI then leaf blower to remove the water on car.

no spots!

If you mount it on a wall look at water proofing the wall section, things get wet, garden hose O rings go bad etc
You don’t want to make a wet spot on the wall.

a 4x8 section of FRP will help make the interior wall water resistant.

Another vote for wheels………. convenience, noise, vibration, exhaust* and water ( control).

* assume gas powered

Look at Obsessed Garage on YouTube. Tons of video on just this subject. Facebook group with same name has users from all over posting their wall mount setups.

I don't see a picture of what you have currently, but I do see "Purchased this, and would love to have it off the ground." I'm envisioning a typical pressure washer and you then want it on a wall in a static position. There's electric, sure, but that seems as simple as hanging it on a hook. Want it somewhere else? Take it off the hook, it's 8lbs. I have a gas-powered so I really ain't sure the direction based on not knowing how handy it needs to be. I'm not taking it on and off a common hook.

I'm running with it either way and focusing on floor space and stuff we don't always use. Harbor Freight winch on an overhead and just lift it up. I'll link an article, but they're too fancy about it all when you just need it off the shop floor. For a reference: https://www.familyhandyman.com/project/how-to-install-attic-lift/

You can get a light duty winch on the cheap and just...lift it up. Don't want it to dangle, then build a shelf higher up and push it over where it sits where other tools don't and just let it down on to the shelf and you can use it from there. Heh, starting it is an issue at that point...but it's not on the floor. Hate to trust Harbor Freight stuff enough to not just let go and smash it onto the ground, ya know?

Been thinking about that over the past 2 years for welding units since the All-in-one is the most used and the others just await their turn. Put all that **** up there.

Edit: I don't HAVE a garage anymore, just what I'd do and will do because space is a premium in any garage.

Right. Totally forgot the link. Small detail?

would probably just look for a hanging solution, but these reels, etc have me thinking bigger!
