For the automated cleaning of the truck or bus under body, then look no further than the renowned Hartex under chassis wash UCW range. Ideal for preparing your vehicles for RMS inspection or even as a pre wash to maximise the effectiveness of planned vehicle maintenance the UCW range offers a quick and cost effective under body vehicle clean.
In recent years this has been a valuable addition to commercial truck wash operations as a means of value adding and up selling wash options to maximise revenue per vehicle.
The Hartex under chassis washes comprises a hot-dip galvanized fabricated manifold. This framework is 3000mm wide and installed and can be installed in existing or new truck and bus wash bays. The manifold is equipped with 20-40 nozzles specially designed by Hartex that direct water in a cyclonic fashion to intensify the cleaning effect on the bottoms of trucks and buses. This is what makes the Hartex under chassis wash the most effective drive through style under body wash system necessary for the transport and mining sectors.
These systems must be used in conjunction with water treatment and recycling systems - click here to read more about our water recycling systems

A separate press button console is installed at the entry of the washbay offers manual control of the chassis wash. Alternatively a fully automated system via in ground inductive loop or above ground light barrier system offers truck and bus wash bays an elegant and safe chassis wash without having the driver of the vehicle step out of the vehicle to activate or arm the system.
The number of nozzles and pump configurations are selected depending on the fleet type being washed, and if the wash bay orientation is drive through (single pass), or drive in and reverse out (2 pass wash). See below table for Fleet types and requirements.
