Benefits of Heavy Equipment Cleaning
Let's face it; a tough, hard-working piece of heavy equipment can get pretty darn dirty. As important as it is to keep your equipment in top condition with routine mechanical maintenance, it's equally vital to perform routine pressure washing to keep your heavy equipment looking and performing at its best.
Clean Is Necessary
With heavy equipment, you expect to get a little mud on the tires … or the tracks. But the heavy buildup of caked-on mud and greasy grunge can prevent the flow of cooling air and lead your equipment to develop heat and exhaust issues. Pressure washing removes the toughest stuck-on pollutants from the cracks and crevices of your heavy equipment, giving it a breath of fresh air.
Limited Maintenance With Pressure Washing
When your heavy equipment is laden with the accumulation of debris mixed with operational fluids, it can lead to trouble for its functionality. Gravel, sticks, and other foreign matter can collect in the nooks and crannies of your heavy equipment, leading to breakdowns and expensive repairs. Downtime costs dollars, which is why it's important to keep your tracks, gears, and machinery free of dangerous debris with routine pressure washing.
Safety Is Important
Your pressure washing professional has the skills and the knowledge to keep your equipment functioning as it should. When your equipment is routinely cleaned, it allows you to conduct more thorough regular inspections to determine if the equipment is operating correctly, or if repairs may be needed. Removing debris also prevents accidents that can occur due to pinch points and the release of kinetic energy due to unexpected debris that is dislodged. Keeping your equipment running properly keeps your operators, your clients, and your mechanics safe.
Branding
When your equipment is on-site, it serves as a mobile billboard for your business. Your signage, your reputation, and your equipment make a statement about you. Heavy equipment cleaning keeps your name visible and shows the pride you take in your equipment and workmanship. You've worked hard to build your business, and your heavy equipment tells the story of the progress you've made. Contact your preferred local pressure washing professional - who is also working hard to build their own business - and let them give your tough equipment a remarkable radiance that recognizes your accomplishments.
Tough, but Delicate
Pressure washing isn't the only option for your heavy equipment. Discuss other options with your pressure washing professional for cleaning your more delicate equipment. Fleet washing services can include soft washing or other applications to protect your wraps and custom paint on your fleet vehicles or heavy equipment. A professional pressure washing expert will consult with you and help you develop a routine maintenance program with the right processes for your heavy equipment inventory, including:
- Tractors
- Backhoes
- Graders
- Trenchers
- Skidders
- Dump trucks
- And more!
