Modular Truck Bed Starter Skids

A modular truck bed skid is the fastest, lowest-cost way to start a pressure washing and soft washing business with a vehicle you already own. These compact, pre-plumbed metal structures contain a basic soft-wash pump, a small water buffer tank and a simple hose reel, and are priced from $2,900 to $8,500.

Because the skid is a self-contained module, it slides into a standard truck bed and can be removed again when you need the truck for other uses. The plumbing is already done, so you avoid the time and cost of designing and fabricating your own frame and pipe work. Operators can start earning on residential house washes, roofs, fences and similar jobs with a minimal capital outlay.

The trade-off is capacity and scalability. A small buffer tank and a basic pump limit how much you can do between refills, and a single reel limits how many hose types you can run. As work grows, many operators upgrade to a trailer with higher output and more chemical capacity.

Price within the range depends on pump rating, tank size, frame finish and reel quality. When you request a quote, mention the truck you drive and the type of work you plan to focus on so the skid can be sized to fit.
