Time is money, especially when you have a fleet of trucks to manage. So, having effective truck washing equipment for effective truck fleet washing becomes convenient.
Truck wash systems are designed for speed and efficiency, getting your vehicles back on the road quickly. Removing dirt using a truck wash system is a superior cleaning solution.
Here are two popular options:
Drive-Through Wash Systems: These automated systems are ideal for high-volume washes. Trucks simply drive through a wash bay equipped with high-pressure jets, wash detergents, and strategically placed brushes to remove dirt and debris. Wash times are fast, perfect for keeping your fleet moving.
Rollover Wash Systems: These systems offer more customization for different vehicle shapes and sizes. The truck is positioned under a gantry equipped with powerful brushes and jets, ensuring a thorough cleaning for even the most challenging vehicles, like garbage trucks.
Both wash systems offer additional benefits, such as water recycling systems to minimize environmental impact and spot-free rinse options for a sparkling finish. Trailer detailing machines help clean sand, dust, grease, mud, gravel, and other dirt from trucks.
Trucks are the lifeline of many industries. They move goods and help people in all parts of the country to access merchandise. They help in the relocation process and are used in mining and other industries to carry waste material and other substances.
In short, a truck works in rough conditions. While trucks are designed to be robust, their lifespan is reduced without proper maintenance. Cleaning trucks' interior or exterior is an important part of maintenance, which ensures that dirt does not corrode parts, clog drain holes, or disrupt the functioning of electronic systems.
Then, there is also the aspect of sanitation. Regulations require that trucks be cleaned to a certain standard. That is why there is much demand for truck washing services. Contractors offering truck or trailer washing should first equip themselves with the best truck wash equipment to build a large clientele.
Truck wash equipment for home use offers convenience and control. You can customize the wash process to fit your needs and schedule.
Vehicles transporting agricultural and industrial materials often accumulate significant amounts of soiling and contamination. Trucks carrying farm produce may be sullied with stains, mud, gravel, etc. Mining and heavy equipment trucks carry substances that leave the truck with sand, dust, grease, and other dirt.
The doors of trailers and the truck beds are especially dirty. The sides of the trailer are commonly covered in soot and oils. The tires also tend to collect mud, insects, and plant sap, while the engines become greased from burned hydrocarbons. This accumulation of grime and contaminants is a natural byproduct of the demanding environments and materials handled by these commercial vehicles.
Refrigerated trucks will need special cleaning equipment . Refrigeration mechanisms may leak oil, so it is best to use hot water to remove the grease easily. Grease from trailers is removed quickly if hot water is used, and this is why Daimer® offers such a wide range of truck pressure washing systems with heating capabilities. This type of grime removal equipment cleans chassis, wheels, and engine parts.
Cleaning truck interiors requires different types of equipment. Note that all truck wash machines should ideally be mobile unless you are sure you won't have to carry the machine on-site for cleaning.
Mobile wash trailer cleaning machines also include steam cleaners, which use dry steam to clean surfaces such as door handles, plastic surfaces, dashboards, mirrors, windows, etc. A dry steam cleaner is largely used to clean the driver's cabin.
Dry steam equipment effectively cleans windows, door jambs, and dashboards. These surfaces are grimy from frequent handling and carry germs, which is why using the right equipment is necessary. Some dry steam machines can also eliminate bacteria, and they are suitable if near-total sanitation is required inside trucks.
Mobile truck wash equipment also includes upholstery and carpet cleaning machines , with the option of inline heating. These machines are used for cleaning fabric upholstery inside the driver's cabin, and their ability to heat water in as little as 5 minutes makes them suitable for cleaning out fabric upholstery as well as rugs, if any. Another feature is the low flow rate, which enables faster upholstery drying. These machines are sold with an upholstery wand and can optionally use a carpet wand.
Daimer®'s pressure washers, steam cleaners, and carpet cleaners are among the best cleaning tools. They offer great value for contractors and auto detailing businesses looking to profit from truck exterior and interior cleaning. Get truck washing equipment if you want to increase your sales.
