Maintaining your equipment through regular cleaning is important for many reasons, including extending its lifespan and keeping things running smoothly on your worksite.
However, there are some essential responsibilities to remember regarding industrial cleaning. For example, contaminants like oil, grease, fuel, and hazardous chemicals can build up when using trucks and other mobile equipment on pipeline or powerline projects. When you wash this equipment, these contaminants can seep into soil or waterways, which can cause significant environmental damage.
Avoid causing unintended harm by using the correct washing solutions, such as spill containment pads and undercarriage wash pads. Keep reading to learn why you should add an undercarriage wash ramp to your operations.
What is an Undercarriage Wash Ramp and Why Are They Important?
An undercarriage wash ramp is a solution that assists with thoroughly cleaning and rinsing the underside of your vehicle. Industrial vehicles can often accumulate mud, grease, and debris through consistent use. If you don’t clean your undercarriage regularly, your equipment will wear down over time and shorten its life.
At Enviro-Pads, our undercarriage wash ramps can be used with portable spill pads or as a standalone solution. Both models feature high-grade steel construction for easy installation and removal of forklift tubes, wheel locks on the top of the ramp, and a secure step-out for the driver to exit and safely enter the vehicle.
In addition to high-quality materials, our standard undercarriage wash ramps have a load rating of up to 1 ton vehicles. Additionally, they are portable, reusable, and easy to set up with the required installation equipment.
On the other hand, the standalone model can accommodate a little more weight. However, this model is ideal when you need complete open access to your vehicle’s undercarriage for comprehensive cleaning. We also offer several customization options to fit your needs better.
Advantages of Undercarriage Wash Ramps
Your operation should incorporate undercarriage wash ramps into your operations for many reasons, including:
- Environmental Compliance: When integrated with our portable wash pads, you can ensure that your hazardous wash water is effectively contained. This way, you don’t have to worry about your runoff contaminating the surrounding environment.
- Extends Equipment Lifespan: Regular washing and maintenance can significantly reduce wear and tear on industrial equipment. Buildup can damage brake lines, clog cooling systems, and corrode vehicle materials. Keeping trucks in good working order improves the overall efficiency of your worksite.
- Easy Portability: When you partner with Enviro-Pads, you’ll receive undercarriage wash ramps that are easy to assemble, meaning you won’t waste any time on your cleaning operations. Plus, you can easily transport these units with forklift rings.
- High Load Capacity: Both our undercarriage wash ramps have high weight capacities, making them compatible with the tough jobs on industrial work sites.
