Trackout is a critical aspect that should not be ignored in industries like mining, quarrying, construction, and landfill operations. It happens when a vehicle exits a job site carrying out mud and material on its wheels and undercarriage that it picked up from that site. This dirt and debris is then then deposit through out the communities, public roads and highways that it passes through. This can pose safety risks and expose site operators to penalties. Fortunately solutions to address trackout control like Wheel Wash Systems and Tire Wash Systems are easy to implement and relatively low cost.
Effective trackout control options to consider include:
- Using tire wash systems to clean the vehicles as they leave the site
- Installing gravel or paved entrance and exit roads with regular sweeping to prevent debris from leaving the site
- Implementing wheel wash stations with high-pressure water sprays to remove loose material from the tires.
- Using trackout mats made of rugged materials that capture debris as vehicles drive over them
Investing in a quality wheel wash and/or tire wash system makes it effortless to comply with regulations. Minmizing trackout also helps protect the environment and saves you money in the long run by improving safety and reducing maintenance costs.
