Hotsy Carlson Equipment

For businesses in Austin that rely on heavy equipment, fleet vehicles, or industrial facilities, proper cleaning isn't just about appearance—it's about preventing costly repairs and maintaining operational efficiency. Hotsy Carlson Equipment provides comprehensive industrial pressure washing solutions tailored to your specific needs.

We offer both hot water and cold water pressure washers, each designed for different applications. Hot water units are particularly effective for cutting through grease, oil, and caked-on grime, making them ideal for construction equipment, automotive repair shops, and food processing facilities. Cold water models provide powerful cleaning for less stubborn dirt and are excellent for general fleet washing. Our team will assess your requirements, considering factors like water source, available space, and the types of materials you need to clean.

Beyond standalone units, we specialize in designing and installing complete cleaning systems. This includes trailer-mounted systems for mobile operations, permanent wash bays for fleet maintenance, and pickup truck-mounted units for contractors on the go. We serve numerous industries across Austin, including construction crews who need to prevent rust and downtime, manufacturing plants requiring regular equipment cleaning, and transportation companies maintaining their fleets.

Choosing Hotsy Carlson means you're getting equipment from one of the most trusted names in industrial cleaning, backed by local experts who understand the unique challenges of the Austin climate and working conditions. We provide everything from initial consultation and system design to installation, training, and ongoing support with our extensive inventory of genuine Hotsy parts.

In Austin's thriving food service and beverage scene, cleanliness isn't just a standard—it's a regulatory requirement and a matter of public safety. Hotsy Carlson Equipment provides specialized cleaning and sanitization solutions tailored to the unique needs of restaurants, food trucks, breweries, wineries, and distilleries.

For kitchen environments, we offer Optima steam cleaners that use high-temperature dry vapor steam to sanitize surfaces without harsh chemicals. These units are perfect for degreasing hood vents, cleaning grills and ovens, sanitizing preparation areas, and even cleaning delicate kitchen equipment. The high temperatures (typically above 240°F) kill harmful bacteria and viruses, making them an essential tool for maintaining health code compliance. We also provide compact and electric pressure washer models designed for the space constraints of commercial kitchens.

The beverage production industry in the Austin region, particularly breweries and wineries, requires rigorous sanitization to prevent contamination that could ruin entire batches. Our high-temperature pressure washers and steam cleaning equipment reach temperatures that effectively sanitize fermentation tanks, bottling lines, kegs, and production floors. Many units allow you to use less detergent while maintaining superior disinfection standards, which is both cost-effective and environmentally preferable.

Our approach begins with understanding your specific workflow, facility layout, and regulatory requirements. We then recommend equipment that integrates seamlessly into your operations, whether you need portable units for a food truck, stationary systems for a production facility, or combination units that handle both cleaning and sanitization. Beyond equipment sales, we provide training on proper sanitization protocols and offer food-safe detergents and Vital Oxide disinfection solutions. For Austin's food and beverage businesses, we're more than a supplier—we're a partner in maintaining the quality and safety that your customers expect.
