About Our
Vehicle Wash Systems
InterClean designs, installs, and services custom-made vehicle wash systems for a wide range of vehicles. From light-duty fleets to heavy industrial equipment, our custom-built vehicle wash solutions meet each customer’s specific environmental conditions, space constraints, budget limitations, water usage requirements, and vehicle specifications. All InterClean equipment, from truck wash systems to industrial systems, is backed by performance guarantees and supported by local maintenance teams.
Automated truck wash systems significantly reduce the time required to wash large vehicles, improving fleet washing speed and efficiency. Ideal for various fleets, these systems allow operators to drive directly into the wash bay, where the automated wash system performs the wash cycle.
InterClean offers a range of touchless and rollover gantry commercial truck-washing systems in multiple configurations. Designed to clean both standard and uniquely shaped vehicles, the Ultra Gantry System can be touchless, friction-based, or hybrid. Available in two different heights, these systems are suited for multiple uses, including:
Once the operator drives the vehicle into the wash bay, parks, and exits, the Ultra Gantry wash system removes dirt and grime without impacting sensitive areas. After selecting the appropriate wash program, the system detects the vehicle’s position and executes the wash cycle. Upon completion, the system returns to its home position, signals that the wash is finished, and the operator re-enters the vehicle to exit the bay.
Following the FDA’s 2018 Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), stricter standards for cleaning and sanitizing trailers that transport food for human or animal consumption were implemented. InterClean developed an advanced interior trailer washout system that meets these updated regulations, sanitizing trailer interiors within 2 minutes. This efficient three-stage cleaning process saves time while ensuring your cargo is transported safely and hygienically.
InterClean’s industrial vehicle wash systems simplify cleaning for heavy-duty equipment. Our manual and robotic specialized vehicle wash systems are designed to tackle the toughest mining and oil applications and serve various types of construction equipment, including:
- Earthmovers
- Larger industrial-size dump trucks
- Extra-large tires and chassis in the mining industries
These high-pressure industrial wash systems improve operational efficiency, enhance employee safety, and extend equipment lifespan.
The InterClean single brush wash system provides a step up from manual fleet washing. The Alpha 500 single-brush system uses a powerful single brush mounted on a diesel or battery-powered machine, navigating around vehicles for quicker wash cycles and can be used indoors or outdoors. The powerful cleaning force of the brush, combined with a simple, intuitive design, enables rapid training of several operators, ensuring your vehicles are always ready for operation. This wash system is ideal for the following applications:
- Commercial trucks
- Tour buses
- Transit buses
- School buses
With wash times under 10 minutes, the single-brush wash system is an effective way to minimize labor costs and allow for high-volume washing.
Heavy-duty equipment and vehicles operating in harsh environments often accumulate debris in wheel wells and undercarriages, leading to surface erosion, rust, and potential structural damage. InterClean’s Wheel, Tire, & Under–Chassis Wash Systems prevent long-term vehicle deterioration and damage by clearing away corrosive materials, road buildup, and other debris from the vehicle‘s underside. Our undercarriage wash systems are especially effective in preventing track-out in demanding industries such as:
- Mining & oil vehicles
- Military trucks and equipment
- Municipal work trucks and other vehicles
- Buses for schools or public transit
- Commercial and Retail fleet trucks
- Transport vehicles in biosecure areas
Our Wheel, Tire, and Under-Chassis Wash systems offer an effective and reliable way to protect equipment value and dependability while complying with road and environmental safety standards. These wash systems help ensure that what your vehicles get into on the job site stays there.
InterClean’s patented EQ100 water recycling modules reduce water usage without sacrificing wash performance, even in the most demanding environments, such as garbage truck cleaning. This high-performance yet cost-effective recycling system can use the full force of high-pressure wash water, delivering a cleaning impact unmatched by other automatic vehicle washing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a vehicle wash system cost?
The price of a vehicle wash system can vary widely depending on several factors, from standard options to fully customized systems. For a tailored estimate, please contact us to discuss your specific needs and budget.
Are InterClean wash systems eco-friendly?
Absolutely! InterClean is dedicated to sustainable vehicle wash solutions. Our water recycling modules significantly reduce water consumption while maintaining high wash quality, making our systems both eco-friendly and efficient.
Can I customize an InterClean wash system?
Yes! At InterClean, we understand that every customer has unique needs, so we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” solutions. Our experienced engineers will work with you to develop an advanced, custom-built vehicle wash system optimized for your specific requirements.
Does InterClean offer touchless vehicle wash systems?
Definitely! InterClean offers a complete line of touchless wash systems using our high-pressure Centri® Spinners. The heavy-duty cleaning power of Centri®Spinner nozzles is designed to maintain effectiveness at greater distances, quickly and efficiently powering away dirt, grime, salt, and other corrosive materials, offering a completely touchless wash.
We also offer hybrid wash systems that combine friction and touchless cleaning. These systems use touchless spinner washers for the front, top, rear, wheel, and chassis, and foam brushes for the sides.
What is the installation process for an InterClean wash system, and how long does it take for my wash system to be up and running?
Installation timelines vary depending on the system type, site conditions, local permitting requirements, and timelines of other contractors and subcontractors involved with the project. Broadly speaking, after all of the system components have been fabricated and shipped to the site, it can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month or more to complete site preparation, installation, and commissioning of a standard automated drive-through system, while more complex industrial or multi-system installations may take longer.
We will work with you to put together a project timeline that works for everyone.
InterClean’s team and global network of distributors manage the full process, from initial site assessment and design through to installation and operator training, so your operations are up and running as soon as possible, with minimal disruption.
Can InterClean vehicle wash systems operate in cold-weather climates?
Yes. InterClean systems are engineered to perform in a wide range of environmental conditions. If your operation is in a climate with harsh winters, we encourage you to discuss adding a winter operations package with one of our product experts.
What is the difference between friction vehicle wash equipment and a touchless vehicle wash system?
Friction systems use physical media, such as foam brushes, to agitate and remove dirt from vehicle surfaces, providing thorough cleaning at relatively low water pressure. Touchless systems rely entirely on high-pressure water and detergents, with no physical contact, making them ideal for vehicles with aerials, mirrors, decals, or sensitive external equipment. At InterClean, we offer hybrid vehicle wash systems that combine both methods, using touchless spinners for the top, front, rear, and undercarriage, and brushes for the sides where scrubbing action is most effective.
What kind of ongoing maintenance do InterClean vehicle wash systems require?
InterClean vehicle wash systems are specifically designed for durability and reliability. However, like with any type of industrial equipment, it is important to service your equipment with both routine and preventive maintenance. These processes include regular washbay cleaning, checking fluid levels, inspecting and replacing wear parts such as brushes and nozzles, maintaining water filtration components, and periodically calibrating the system.
Routine Maintenance: At the time of system start-up, we will provide you with a schedule of recommended routine maintenance and daily tasks and the cadence at which each should be completed.
Preventative Maintenance: For added support, InterClean offers preventive maintenance programs that include proactive service, spare parts, and chemical optimization. Depending on your location, a qualified technician from our in-house team or distributor network can perform scheduled on-site services to keep your vehicle wash system running at peak performance.
