DESCRIPTION

Engineered for Longevity. Powered by Heat. Built for the Toughest Jobs.

When industrial-grade cleaning demands maximum durability, high heat, and relentless power, the BE Power Equipment HW4013HBG delivers without compromise. Featuring a belt-driven General triplex pump, a Honda GX390 engine with electric start, and a 12V diesel-fired Beckett burner, this unit is designed for professionals who expect the most from their equipment—every single day.

With 4,000 PSI at 4.0 GPM, a high-efficiency burner, and extended service life thanks to its belt drive system, this hot water pressure washer is your go-to solution for heavy-duty degreasing, equipment cleaning, and site sanitation in demanding commercial, agricultural, or industrial environments.

Why Hot Water? Because Cold Isn’t Always Enough.

Some messes need more than high pressure—they need heat. The HW4013HBG harnesses the cleaning power of hot water up to 200°F (93°C) using a 330,000 BTU Beckett burner to cut through grease, oil, and grime that cold water simply can’t handle.

The diesel-fired burner is powered by a reliable 12V ignition system and controlled via an adjustable thermostat and rocker switch, giving you total flexibility to clean with hot or cold water, depending on the job.

Belt Drive Advantage: Built to Go the Distance

Unlike direct drive units, the belt drive system in the HW4013HBG dramatically reduces pump RPM, vibration, and heat—key contributors to wear and tear. By lowering operating stress on the pump, the belt drive increases the service life of critical components, making it ideal for extended daily use in commercial applications.

This configuration not only provides quieter performance but also improved pump longevity, making it the preferred choice for professional cleaning crews, equipment operators, and mobile service businesses that rely on their washer day in and day out.

Smart Features That Save Time and Extend Lifespan

The HW4013HBG is packed with practical upgrades that make servicing and winterization easier, faster, and cleaner:

  • 12" oil drain hoses simplify oil changes by allowing you to drain fluids cleanly from the pump and engine—no crawling or mess required.

  • An included brass air fitting allows you to connect an air compressor to the water inlet, letting you blow out residual water from the coil. This reduces scale buildup, prevents freezing in cold climates, and extends the life of your heating coil.

These smart additions help protect your investment and keep your equipment in service longer—saving you time, money, and downtime in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pressure Washers

How to store a pressure washer?

To ensure the durability of your heavy duty pressure washer:

  • Empty the gas tank to prevent fuel from degrading or clogging the engine.
  • Empty the pump and hoses of any remaining water.
  • Perform necessary maintenance before storage.
  • Store in a dry area.
  • Cover.

What is a pressure washer?

A power washer is a cleaning machine that uses a gasoline engine to power a high pressure water pump and nozzle. It’s used to clean driveways, decks, vehicles, outdoor furniture and more by spraying water at high PSI to remove dirt, grime, mold and other debris.Many models also come with a detergent tank for added cleaning power.

How does a power washer work?

A power washer works by drawing water from a connected hose and pumping it through a high pressure nozzle. The gas engine powers the pump which pressurizes the water and then expels it through the nozzle at high speed to clean the surface. The water pressure is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) and the flow rate is measured in GPM (gallons per minute).Many models also feature adjustable water pressure settings to cater to different cleaning needs. BE makes pressure washing easy with models available for light jobs and heavy duty commercial cleaning projects.

Gas vs Electric power washers?

The main difference is that a gas pressure washer, known for its cleaning power, is powered by a gasoline engine, making it more powerful and portable, while an electric pressure washer is powered by electricity and is generally quieter and lighter.

Gas pressure washers are for heavy duty and large areas due to their durability, whereas electric pressure washers are for smaller jobs.

Your BE electric pressure washer is perfect for smaller jobs and built for portability, and we offer a wide range of electric models. Included with our electric models is a long extension cord for use anywhere around your house.

What to consider?

When choosing a gas pressure washer consider:

  • Pressure (PSI): More PSI means more cleaning power but also more potential for damaging delicate surfaces.
  • Flow Rate (GPM): More GPM means faster cleaning as more water is dispensed.
  • Engine Power: Bigger engines mean more durability and power.
  • Portability: Weight, handle design and wheel size for easier to move.
  • Nozzles: Multiple spray nozzles to adjust the spray pattern for different tasks.
  • Adjustable Nozzle: Allows for fine-tuning the spray intensity and pattern for various cleaning needs.

How much pressure do I need for?

The required pressure (PSI) and cleaning power depend on the surface you’re cleaning:

  • Light duty (car washing, outdoor furniture): 1,300-1,800 PSI.
  • Medium duty (patios, fences, decks): 2,000-3,000 PSI.
  • Heavy duty (driveways, brick walls, large equipment): 3,000+ PSI.

Many pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings to handle different cleaning tasks effectively.

Can a pressure washing damage surfaces?

Yes, a power washer can damage surfaces if used incorrectly. High pressure water can strip paint, dent soft surfaces or even cause structural damage if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close to the surface. Always use the right PSI for the material you’re cleaning and keep a safe distance from delicate surfaces.

To prevent damage, consider using a model with adjustable pressure settings.

How to maintain your pressure washer?

To ensure the durability and smooth operation of a pressure washer:

  • Change the oil as per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Clean or replace the air filter to ensure good airflow.
  • Inspect and clean the nozzle regularly to prevent clogs.
  • Drain the gas tank if you’re storing the washer for a long time.
  • Check the hoses for leaks or damage and replace them if needed.
  • Follow regular maintenance requirements to keep the washer in optimal condition.

Can I use a pressure washer in cold weather and low water temperature?

You can use a pressure washer in cold weather but it’s more difficult. The water flow rate in the hoses and pump can freeze and damage the equipment. If you plan to use your pressure washer in cold temperatures make sure to winterize it and store it in a warm area when not in use. You can also use anti-freeze solutions for pressure washers.

Some models are designed to use hot water, which can be particularly effective for cleaning in cold weather.
