Another key feature of our Wheel Wash systems is the environmentally friendly water management system.

This sustainable practice not only reduces water usage but also helps companies comply with environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
A wheel washing system automatically cleans a vehicle’s tires as it moves through the system, using recycled water to remove accumulated dirt and mud. This process prevents contaminants from being carried onto public roads, thereby maintaining cleanliness and safety.
-
There are two primary types:
- Roller Systems: The vehicle stops, placing its wheels between rollers. A start bar triggers the washing process, during which the wheels are automatically turned and cleaned by water sprayed from multiple nozzles.
- Drive-Through Systems: The vehicle drives slowly through the system, and a light barrier at the entrance triggers the washing process. Wheels and chassis are cleaned by water sprayed from numerous nozzles without the need to stop.
