Welcome to the world of low moisture cleaning. I agree that it's a worthwhile niche to address. In fact it's a growing trend in the industry.
There will still be a space for the $50K - $100K truckmount rigs. But there is another strategy that makes a lot of sense from a fiscal and environmental standpoint. Carpet is cleaned all over the world (without truckmounts). Truckmounts are popular in the USA, Australia, Canada, and the UK. No other countries on the planet have wholly jumped on board with truckmounts though. Since the majority of the world is not using truckmounts, - what are they using? They're using portables and low moisture methods. Frankly I think HWE is an environmentally poor choice, and it's also a large financial hurdle to tackle for the business owner. By comparison portable equipment, and low moisture equipment is brilliant. The "alternative" methods CAN get the job quite well.
You can certainly blaze down the business path you've chosen. I wish you success! My staff at Excellent Supply is happy to help. This message board will be helpful too. Enjoy the journey!
