Abstract

In order, on the one hand, to be able to use a high-pressure cleaning device comprising a high-pressure pump, a liquid supply and a pressure line for the liquid supplied by the pump as well as a housing surrounding the pump, in the usual way as a portable device and on the other hand, however, to facilitate transport without increasing the overall dimensions, it is proposed that rollers be arranged on the underside of the housing in the area of a side edge and that a handle insertable into the housing be mounted therein, the handle being shiftable between an inserted position in the housing and an extended position and securable in both these positions.
