1. The site and access conditions
The PWD02 is positioned for indoor garages and narrow outdoor parking areas, which means the building itself decides a lot of the specification. Put these in writing before the model is confirmed:
- Clear opening height and width at the entrance, plus turning radius in the work lane — the machine is driven, so an aisle it cannot enter is a hard stop.
- Distance from the water source and from the power distribution point, measured along the route the operator will actually take.
- Drainage route for the wash water and local rules on recovering it. Indoor sites and parking structures often restrict discharge, and that changes the work method more than the equipment does.
- Floor slope, joint gaps, and any area the operator has to drive across.
- Working hours, including whether washing happens while the facility is open to customers.
2. Power and utilities at the point of use
The two published PWD02 variants — one listed with a battery, one without — behave differently depending on what the site can supply. Record the supply that exists today, not what the building plan claims:
- Available voltage and phase at the nearest outlet, breaker rating, and the length of cable run you are willing to accept.
- Whether the site has on-board battery charging space, and where a charger may sit during a shift.
- Water source type and whether it is potable, cold only, or pre-heated.
3. What is actually being cleaned, in what volume
Mode selection follows from the soil, not from the machine. The PWD02 is listed with dry-steam, wet-steam and hot-water modes; which one dominates a shift changes the consumable and water plan. Send us:
- Vehicle mix and daily count — cars, vans, trucks, or fleet vehicles — and whether engine-compartment work is in scope.
- The soil you are losing the most time on today: road grime, oil and grease, salt, or interior soiling.
- Current method in use, and the specific step that fails (waiting for surfaces to dry, chemical dwell time, water handling).
- Target vehicles per shift and the number of operators available.
A short description of the current process is more useful to us than a wish list, because it shows where the commercial steam cleaning equipment replaces a step instead of just adding a machine.
4. Operating rules and risk tolerance
Buyers in enclosed and public-facing sites usually have requirements that never reach the equipment specification. Write down:
- Permitted chemical use, and any preference for reduced detergent dependence.
- Water-use limits or discharge permits on site.
- Who operates the machine — trained technicians, general staff, or contract cleaners — and what language their instructions must be in.
- Existing electrical-safety and hot-surface controls that the equipment must fit into.
The battery variant page records leakage, short-circuit, high-temperature, high-voltage and water-shortage protection functions. Matching those to your own safety documentation is what lets a site engineer sign off without a separate risk assessment.
5. Commercial terms and after-sales expectations
- Quantity and phasing — one unit for a trial site, or a rollout across locations.
- Delivery address, dock or gate limitations, and who unloads.
- Expected response time when a unit is down, and whether local service exists in your region.
- Spare parts you want on the shelf, and the consumables you expect to reorder.
6. Site media you can send with the brief
Three photos of the work area, one short video of the current washing sequence, and a marked-up site plan answer most questions in a single email. Where the site is a multi-storey car park or an underground garage, include the ramp and entrance shots — that is usually the constraint that decides between a fixed unit and a driven PowerDe cleaning equipment unit.
7. What you should get back from the supplier
A complete brief only works if the reply is equally specific. Before we send a quotation for the PWD02, Shenzhen PowerDe Automation Precision Equipment confirms with you the variant (with or without battery), the utility requirements, and the operating procedure for your site. Published figures vary between pages on our own site, so any number you rely on for approval is confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than taken from a listing. Where a facility needs something the standard configuration does not cover, that is raised as a configuration question at the same time, not after the order.
If your current product brief has blanks in sections 1, 2 and 3 above, that is the reason the last equipment decision took as long as it did. Fill them in and send them with your enquiry — the comparison usually closes in one exchange instead of three.
