Product Description
DESCRIPTION
The MWE Bare Truck Skid is a purpose‑built, all‑aluminum equipment frame designed to provide a rock‑solid foundation for commercial soft wash and pressure wash truck setups. Crafted by expert Midwest Washing Equipment TIG welders, each skid is engineered from the ground up with in‑house CAD design, precision weldments, and shop‑print production to ensure exact fit and uncompromising strength.
Unlike formed‑panel or sheet‑metal alternatives, the full‑frame construction delivers superior load‑bearing capacity, while integrated full‑frame fork pockets provide safe, balanced lifting during loading and unloading. The self‑supporting shelf design eliminates flex and bounce, keeping reels and gear stable without relying on truck bed sides for reinforcement.
The skid’s narrow shelf profile is compliant with NTSB vehicle width guidelines and accommodates all popular hose reel brands. With a 48″ base width and a 22″ shelf height (bed floor to underside of shelf), this platform offers optimal ergonomics and layout flexibility for plumbing, tanks, reels, and accessories. Backed by a 10‑year limited warranty, the MWE Bare Truck Skid is built for operators who demand long service life, high stability, and professional‑grade fitment.
