Trailer jetters can be customized to match the way your crew works, including choosing between an enclosed or open trailer. Both configurations can deliver the same performance, so the decision comes down to how the crew uses it and where the machine is going to be used. Here are some questions to ask when deciding which type is best for you?
1. Do you need maximum accessibility to the equipment?
2. Do you work in challenging weather?
3. Will the jetter regularly be stored outdoors or left at jobsites?
4. Do you need additional storage for tools and accessories?
Knowing these answers can help determine which jetter configuration makes the most sense for your operation.
An open trailer keeps the engine, pump, hose reel, and controls readily accessible while still using weather-resistant components and protective design features for year-round operation. The Harben Trailer Jetter has a simple and effective winterizing solution to help protect the equipment in freezing conditions. For many contractors and municipalities, that combination of accessibility and all-weather performance makes an open configuration the right fit.
Benefits include:
If your equipment is stored indoors, protected from extreme weather, and security isn’t a major concern, an open trailer may be the best type of configuration for your work environment.
An enclosed trailer houses the jetting equipment inside a trailer. The Harben jetter delivers the same cleaning performance, and the enclosure adds protection, storage, organization, and additional security.
An enclosed trailer offers:
For contractors who carry a significant amount of supporting equipment or crews that work across multiple jobsites, those advantages can improve efficiency and flexibility.
Weather protection may be a reason to consider an enclosed trailer, especially if you work year-round or store equipment outside. But organization can be just as valuable. An enclosed Harben trailer jetter can effectively become a mobile workshop. Spare nozzles, hose guides, lubricants, fittings, PPE, tools, and replacement parts can travel with the machine and have a designated place in the truck.
Instead of loading equipment every morning or searching for what you need at a jobsite, your crew will have the equipment already loaded and they just need to get to the jobsite.
Jetting equipment, tools, and accessories are all valuable assets and should be protected. While an enclosed trailer isn’t theft-proof, it offers another layer of security by keeping equipment behind locked doors and out of sight.
That can be especially useful if your Harben spends nights in contractor yards, municipal facilities, hotels, or construction sites.
Some buyers assume an enclosed trailer will make the jetter more difficult to maintain. Harben’s enclosed trailer configurations are designed with access to the equipment in mind, allowing crews to perform routine service like an oil change without sacrificing the protection and organization of an enclosure.
An open trailer offers the most direct access to the equipment, while an enclosed configuration balances accessibility with additional protection and storage. The right choice depends on how your crew prefers to work.
Whether you choose an open or enclosed trailer, the Harben radial piston diaphragm pump remains at the heart of the machine. Its European-engineered design delivers the industry’s longest service intervals, true run-dry capability, and fewer routine wear components, helping reduce maintenance interruptions and keeping crews working. Harben also backs the pump with an industry-leading 5-year warranty.*
An open trailer is a good fit if you already have secure storage, want flexibility in transport, and want a simple configuration.
An enclosed trailer may make more sense if you regularly leave equipment at jobsites or contractor yards, carry a significant number of tools and accessories, and want a mobile workspace that can also showcase your company’s brand.
There isn’t one configuration that’s right for every operation. That’s why Harben offers options.
Choosing between an open and enclosed trailer isn’t about changing the performance of the jetter. It’s about building your jetter around the way your crew works. Your Harben dealer can help you evaluate your storage, transportation, weather exposure, security, and equipment needs to determine which configuration best supports your operation.
