Building a permanent wash bay or wash rack for cleaning heavy equipment requires a fixed area within a commercial or industrial site, which is set aside for washing and cleaning vehicles or heavy equipment.
Unlike Evans Portable Wash Pads, industrial wash bays are not dismantled or moved on a regular basis. They are permanent structures, which provide long-lasting and on-going service. If you are looking for a portable wash bay, click here.
A permanent industrial wash bay is a great solution for a customer who owns their facility, and who needs to build an in-depth system to handle the waste that they are accumulating.
Building a Wash Bay for Cleaning Heavy Equipment
When it comes to location and layout, your system design must be optimized for ease of use. Surrounding areas, existing structures and natural flow patterns of the facility need to be considered when designing the system. The location of the equipment must fit into that equation as well, optimizing performance that results in quicker wash times and greater efficiency. And all of these factors need to fit within the requirements and needs of the industry you are in. Industries vary greatly when it comes to how water is treated and used. For example, the oil and gas industry will have vastly different requirements and needs than, say, the heavy equipment rental industry.
We can custom design the right industrial wash bay for your unique needs and make sure you have all the necessary equipment to handle the job:
- The wash rack
- The water treatment system
- A closed-loop mechanism to recycle wash water
- Industrial-grade pressure washers, such as Hotsy
- Electrical and plumbing connections
- Training and scheduled maintenance
Whether you need a new wash bay to fit your existing space, retrofit, or upgrade, we can provide a design for exactly what you need and meets regulatory codes in your location. Our in-house design and fabrication teams can design, build, and install your specialized wash rack and wastewater treatment equipment on budget.
Meeting your wash and wastewater treatment needs is easy when you choose look for a complete solution, and not just for equipment. Contact us today to request a free site evaluation.
CUSTOM DESIGN OR UPGRADE
Our models and drawings provide information on the equipment layout, the construction details, as well as the electrical and plumbing specifications.
PERMANENT LOCATIONS
If you are in a location that is permanent and need a unique washing solution, Evans can build, install, and maintain a custom wash bay to meet your needs. We take full responsibility for a compliant build-out.
HEAVY CONTAMINATION
If you are cleaning equipment with heavy contamination, such as sludge or thick mud, a permanent wash bay with wastewater pre-treatment may be a great option. Evans Wash Bays can be outfitted with top-of-the-line industrial pressure washers and wastewater treatment equipment to help you recycle water, or discharge it in an environmentally friendly way.
What is the best way to pressure wash heavy equipment for maximum cleaning?
The best way to pressure wash heavy equipment is to use an industrial-grade pressure washer with high PSI and GPM, apply heavy-duty degreasers, and use a custom wash bay or wash rack to manage wastewater treatment efficiently.
How to pressure wash heavy equipment without damaging it?
To pressure wash heavy equipment safely, use the correct pressure washer PSI, avoid high pressure on sensitive parts, and apply industrial wash chemicals that remove grease, oil, and heavy grime without causing damage.
What PSI and GPM do I need to pressure wash heavy equipment?
For effective heavy equipment pressure washing, use an industrial pressure washer with at least 3,000 to 5,000 PSI and 4-10 GPM, depending on the level of dirt, grease, and mud buildup on machinery.
How to build a wash bay for pressure washing heavy equipment?
Building a heavy equipment wash bay requires a wash rack, water treatment system, a closed-loop water recycling system, and high-performance industrial pressure washers to ensure efficient cleaning and compliance with regulations.
What industrial cleaning chemicals should be used to pressure wash heavy equipment?
For effective heavy equipment pressure washing, use degreasers, detergents, and industrial wash chemicals specifically formulated to cut through oil, grease, and heavy contamination while being environmentally safe.
How often should you pressure wash heavy equipment to maintain performance?
To maintain peak performance and longevity, pressure wash heavy equipment regularly, especially after exposure to mud, grease, and contaminants. Routine industrial cleaning helps prevent buildup that can lead to equipment failure.
Can pressure washing heavy equipment damage sensitive parts?
Yes, improper heavy equipment pressure washing can damage hydraulic seals, electronics, and paint. Using the correct industrial-grade pressure washer settings, wash chemicals, and professional wash bays prevents unnecessary damage.
What are the environmental regulations for pressure washing heavy equipment?
Many industries require closed-loop wastewater treatment systems for heavy equipment pressure washing to prevent hazardous runoff. Using a custom wash bay with wastewater filtration ensures EPA compliance and environmental responsibility.
What is the difference between a permanent wash bay and a portable wash pad for heavy equipment?
A permanent industrial wash bay is a fixed cleaning system designed for high-volume equipment washing with a wastewater treatment solution. A portable wash pad is a temporary mobile solution for onsite heavy equipment cleaning.
