When high-pressure cold water isn't enough, the BE Power Equipment HW4013HG steps up with high heat and serious cleaning muscle. This commercial-grade hot water pressure washer is designed to break down grease, oil, and heavy grime where cold water pressure washers fall short. Powered by a Honda GX390 389cc engine with both electric and recoil start, and paired with a General EZ4040G P3 triplex pump, the HW4013HG delivers 4,000 PSI at 4.2 GPM of heated cleaning performance.
Equipped with a 12V diesel-fired Beckett burner, a reinforced powder-coated steel 4-wheel frame with detachable wheels for truck or trailer mounting, a crane lift point, and an anti-roll brake, the HW4013HG is built for commercial operators who depend on their equipment every day.
The real advantage of the HW4013HG lies in its ability to deliver hot water up to 199°F (93°C) — enough to break down oil, grease, and chemical residues that cold water alone cannot remove. The diesel-fired 12V Beckett burner heats the water through a 96' x 1/2" Schedule 80 Cold Rolled Steel coil with a stainless steel wrap, delivering 330,000 BTU of heating output. The coil is backed by a lifetime warranty — the only lifetime-warranted component in the BE hot water pressure washer range.
The adjustable thermostat gives you full control over operating temperature, while the burner control rocker switch allows you to toggle hot water on or off instantly. This flexibility makes the HW4013HG equally effective as both a hot and cold water pressure washer across a wide range of job types.
At the heart of the HW4013HG is the Honda GX390 389cc OHV engine, a commercial standard in pressure washing equipment. The engine includes both electric start and recoil start backup, powered by an included 55AH marine battery. Key engine features include:
The Honda GX390 engine is covered under Honda's separate engine warranty program.
Matched with the Honda engine is a General EZ4040G P3 class triplex pump with external unloader and adjustable injector. The triplex design delivers smooth, consistent pressure output suited for continuous commercial use. Key pump features include:
The 12V Beckett diesel-fired burner heats water through a purpose-built coil, delivering commercial-grade hot water performance. Key heating system features include:
The heating coil at the core of the HW4013HG's hot water system is built from 96' x 1/2" Schedule 80 Cold Rolled Steel with a stainless steel wrap. Schedule 80 is a heavy-wall pipe specification designed for high-pressure and high-temperature environments. The stainless steel wrap provides corrosion protection and extended service life. This coil is backed by a lifetime warranty — the strongest component coverage in the BE hot water pressure washer range.
The HW4013HG is built on a reinforced powder-coated steel Hot Water 4 Wheeler frame designed for commercial field use. Key frame features include:
The included 50' x 3/8" QC double wire braided rubber hose is rated for both high PSI and high-temperature hot water operation. The double wire braid provides superior strength and flexibility for demanding commercial use.
The included 36" QC insulated spray wand and trigger gun assembly is heat-resistant and ergonomically designed for extended commercial use. The insulated construction protects the operator from heat transfer during prolonged hot water cleaning sessions.
Quick-connect nozzles are included for a full range of hot water cleaning applications:
Hot water cleaning delivers results that cold water pressure washers cannot match for grease, oil, and chemical contamination. The HW4013HG is suited for:
The HW4013HG is CSA certified in Canada and meets CSA standards for use in the United States.
The HW4013HG is backed by a comprehensive multi-component warranty from BE Power Equipment:
Each unit is functionally tested at the factory before shipping. Your pressure washer may arrive with minimal residual oil or fuel odor, which confirms the unit has passed quality testing and is ready for use.
Note: Product may vary slightly from images shown. All BE Power Equipment hot water pressure washers are factory tested prior to shipping and may contain residual oil or fuel odor upon delivery.
The BE Power Equipment HW4013HG combines a Honda GX390 engine, a General EZ4040G triplex pump, a 330,000 BTU diesel-fired Beckett burner, a lifetime-warranted stainless-wrapped Schedule 80 coil, and a heavy-duty 4-wheel frame with truck mounting capability into one complete commercial hot water cleaning system. For operators who need hot water performance they can count on day after day, the HW4013HG is built for the job.

To ensure the durability of your heavy duty 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.
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.
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.
When choosing a gas pressure washer consider:
The required pressure (PSI) and cleaning power depend on the surface you’re cleaning:
Many pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings to handle different cleaning tasks effectively.
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.
To ensure the durability and smooth operation of a pressure washer:
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.
