Heavy Duty Systems
Stop Equipment Retiring Early From Heavy Soils and Corrosion
Extend vehicle life by years and reduce maintenance costs — without the inefficiency of manual washing
Heavy Soils and Corrosion Destroy Equipment Faster Than You Think
Without regular, thorough cleaning, you’re watching your equipment deteriorate faster than it should.
Weight Adds Up Fast
Hundreds of pounds of dense dirt, dust, and grime increase wear on every component.
Corrosion Hides in the Grime
Salt and chemicals attack frames and brake systems where you can’t see until it’s expensive.
Manual Washing Can’t Keep Up
Removing large amounts of soils manually takes time, labor, and doesn’t reach critical areas.
Water Use Gets Restricted
Detention ponds and restrictions limit how often you can wash — unless you reclaim.

How We Remove Heavy Soils Without Damaging Equipment
Superior solutions, ideas, and technology working together
Break it Down
Low pH presoak attacks minerals, oxidation, and heavy soils that coat equipment. Targets wheel wells and chassis areas where buildup happens.
Blast it Away
High pH detergents break down oils, grease, and industrial residue. Our chemistry handles different soils and conditions without requiring brushes — protecting equipment from damage.
Get on the Road
In minutes, vehicles pull through clean. Chassis stays protected. Critical components last longer.

Common Questions
An automated wash system can be designed for many types of heavy-duty equipment such as gravel haulers, construction vehicles, and oversized trucks.
The system can be configured to handle heavy mud, grease, and industrial soils using specific angles and pressure, as well as stronger chemicals and/or longer wash cycles.
A heavy-duty wash typically takes about 3 to 5 minutes depending on soil levels and vehicle size.
Most heavy-duty systems are designed to be touchless and brushless as the vehicle shape can vary greatly, though brush options can be added when needed for certain applications.
The system can be customized to match the specific equipment, operating environment, and cleaning goals of the fleet.
Undercarriage cleaning is included and is especially important for heavy-duty equipment exposed to dirt, salt, and debris.
Heavy-duty systems are designed for demanding environments and regular operation when properly maintained.
