Dual-Pressure Cleaner: The Makinex dual-function pressure cleaner is two machines in one. In one compact unit, users get a powerful 18-inch rotary surface cleaner and a pressure washer wand. It can handle more cleaning jobs and do them much faster. Consider the time wasted on setup and task-switching with single-purpose washers. Once users have enjoyed the speed and efficiency of the Makinex DPC 2200, they will never put up with the hassle of separate equipment again.

The Dual-Phase 23kw 480V is Makinex’s newest generator that brings the most power yet to the Makinex portable generator range.

It can produce 23kW from the 3-phase and 3kW from the single-phase at the same time with no power or frequency dips. The generator is only 36 inches x 25 inches x 36 inches, making it the smallest dual-phase 23kw 480V generator on the market.
