Wash Bays – Efficient And Effective Heavy Equipment Cleaning

Posted on: December 19th, 2022 by Mi-T-M | 11 Comments

Mi-T-M wash bays are built for industrial and commercial equipment cleaning with the added benefit of keeping customer operations within compliance.

How Wash Bays Work

Work vehicles and equipment enter the wash bay area and are either sprayed off by a pressure washer or water cannon, rinsing off dirt, grime and grease. Angled to catch the dirty water, the catch basin is below the wash pad and leads to a water treatment recycling system. The contaminants are separated from the water and drained into a disposal system, while the water is stored separately for future reuse.

What It Contains

Efficiently and effectively clean trucks and equipment using an on-site wash bay. By rinsing away excess mud, oil and other contaminants, vehicles can run better, and equipment can function properly and last longer. Within a wash bay, there is a wash pad, pressure washer, catch basin, recycling machine and disposal system.

Save Money while Saving the Environment

Wash bays provide the ability to clean equipment, while disposing of wastewater safely. Contaminants washed from general work site equipment can have a harmful effect on the environment, but by using a wash bay, it collects the pollutants and keeps them from spreading. After dirty water is run through the recycling system, it can be stored and re-used.

Types of Wash Bays

Wash bays can be permanent or mobile, depending on what you need it for. For sites that are temporary, a portable wash bay can help clean what you need throughout the duration of that site’s location. No matter the type of wash bay you choose, you can depend on it to properly recycle dirty wash water and dispose of its contaminants.

To help you decide on the specifications your wash bay will need, Mi-T-M’s dealers have the knowledge to assist you. By designing, supplying and installing your new wash bay, you can have peace of mind knowing it was completed by the experts. From start to finish, our dealers will be there to answer any questions you may have along the way.

    I’m looking for a proposal for a permanent wash bay for heavy equipment. (Dump/Hauling Trucks) The bay would be in conjunction with a new commercial garage buildout.
