Overseas Truck Wash Equipment Considered

There are many manufacturers of robotic truck wash equipment available around the world. In the United States we have Belanger, Hydro, Interclean and Ryko. Recently someone had inquired whether the Speedway Wash in San Antonio had good truck wash equipment. Although I do not know, I would like to visit it, since the last time I came thru it was closed.

Some truck washes use Ceccato Truck Wash equipment we are told and this might be an interesting choice? It is an Italian Brand and that would be interesting indeed. I will look at this. The Italians make lots of pressure washing products, pumps, unloaders, etc. so that does not surprise me. The Germans too and both are generally at the International Car Wash Conventions and have pictures of truck washes automatic in Africa, Australia, China, India, Asia and Europe.

Still I think the problem is that they do not clean things so well, but maybe things are improving it is only a matter of time, entrepreneurial capital and vision. The trick is for a robotic truck wash system to wash the truck 100% perfectly without any human help or intervention and without damage to the truck or nuking it with chemicals that can ruin the paint, peel decals or hurt the rubber. Likewise if you mess up perfectly polished aluminum fuel tanks there will be hell to pay with that driver for sure.
