# Truck-mount unit

A term used when buying carpet cleaning.

The van-mounted extraction machine whose hours and age set replacement cost.

The truck-mount is the trade's capital asset, and its hours, age, and service records set the real replacement schedule a buyer inherits. A tired unit is a five-figure cost in the first year that never appears on the listing, and a fleet of them is the difference between buying capacity and buying a bill. Read the hours the way a trucking buyer reads a tractor's, and price replacement into the offer rather than discovering it.
