How to Effectively and Efficiently Clean Construction Equipment

Cleaning heavy equipment is necessary for all construction equipment.  Clean equipment lasts longer and pressure washing protects your  investment by removing mud, grease and grime from heavy equipment faster  than other cleaning methods. Cleaning heavy equipment is an  underappreciated chore. It’s messy and often delegated to a low-paid  laborer on construction crews who see the job as just hosing down dirty  machinery to remove most of the grease and grime. Well, there’s far more  to effectively and efficiently cleaning construction equipment and  machinery than meets the eye.

Heavy equipment washing requires its  own specialized equipment like water cannons or pressure washers. It  also involves specific techniques that make the best use of cleaning  time and materials. And then there’s the safety factor to consider.  Heavy construction equipment like excavators, loaders and gravel trucks  are large, complicated machines presenting hazards to operators and  those tasked to clean them on a regular basis.
