The Evolution of Skid Systems
At Southeast Softwash, we’ve been steadily refining our lineup of softwash and pressure washing equipment to give contractors the tools they need for professional-level work. One of the crown jewels of that lineup is the PolyMax, which replaces our old Gen Two system.
If you’re in the skid system world, you already know: the PolyMax is the big boy of the fleet. Built for power, efficiency, and dependability, it’s designed for contractors who want to scale their business and handle serious commercial and residential jobs without being limited by their equipment.
Where the PolyMax Fits in the Lineup
To put things in perspective:
-
The Poly Pro is our compact system, replacing the old mini skid. It features 50-gallon tanks, a Super 8 softwash pump, and a 5.5 GPM pressure washer. Perfect for small-to-medium jobs and new contractors.
-
The Tote Goat sits in the middle, offering more capacity and output.
-
At the top, we have the PolyMax—the ultimate upgrade. This is for contractors who want maximum efficiency, higher capacity, and a rugged build that handles heavy daily use.
Key Features of the PolyMax
Here’s what sets the PolyMax apart:
-
8 GPM Pressure Washer – A step above smaller units, providing the flow and cleaning power you need for faster, more efficient rinsing and surface cleaning.
-
Sweet 16 Softwash Pump – Powerful, serviceable, and bleach-ready. The pump features quick-connect plumbing for easy maintenance. Head kits and replacement parts are readily available through our website.
-
100-Gallon Dual Tanks – Double the capacity of the Poly Pro, giving you more runtime and fewer refill stops.
-
Integrated Soap Tank – Conveniently located on the curb side (or passenger side), with easy access for chemical loading and control.
-
Smart Stream Integration – Allows for efficient chemical selection and mixing on the fly. This setup includes an extra chemical line, so you can switch between bleach and a secondary solution for downstreaming.
-
Fuel Cell by Boyd’s Aluminum – Compact, durable, and equipped with a sight glass and gauge for quick monitoring.
-
Robust Ladder Rack – Strong enough to hold ladders, surface cleaners, and other gear. Integrated tie-down points give you flexibility for securing equipment.
-
Lithium Battery System – A 24V lithium battery with a compatible charger ensures reliable startup and power for the skid. A smaller cranking battery keeps the pressure washer independent and self-charging.
-
Compact Design – The PolyMax is designed to fit full-size trucks, though some models may require running with the tailgate open.
Serviceability First
One of the biggest considerations when building the PolyMax was ease of service. Softwash pumps, by nature, are maintenance items because they handle strong bleach mixtures. Unlike pressure washers that can go longer between maintenance intervals, softwash systems need to be designed with serviceability in mind.
That’s why the PolyMax uses a quick-connect plumbing system, making it easy to pull and replace pumps when needed. We don’t want contractors wasting weekends tearing down complicated systems just to stay operational.
Built for Real Contractors
The PolyMax was designed not just in the shop, but with real-world application in mind. In fact, one of the first units is going to a local contractor who’s been running a mini skid for two years and upgrading to the PolyMax to keep up with his workload. That means more runtime, more power, and fewer limitations in the field.
Final Thoughts
The PolyMax isn’t just a piece of equipment—it’s an investment in your business. With larger tanks, more powerful pumps, and a design built around efficiency and serviceability, this system allows you to take on bigger jobs, cut down on downtime, and grow your operation.
If you’re ready to step up from smaller rigs and into the upper echelon of softwash skid systems, the PolyMax is the ultimate solution.
