Quick reply required please.

our operatives require the use of a Jet Washer to remove grease off a site we are currently working on.

The jet washer needs to be able to use hot water to remove the grease but the only one available to use is a 240v.

I know we are supposed to use 110v on construction sites but is there any way round this.

Your replies would be appreciated.
