EVERY ASPECT of looking after commercial vehicles will be catered for at next year's Commercial Vehicle Show, and keeping your trucks clean is no exception.
Among the exhibitors is Essex-based truck cleaning equipment specialist WashTec.
WashTec marketing manager Dawn Frazer says that although truck washes are usu
ally bought by firms with 10 trucks or more, many smaller operators would like to have access to full-size truck wash machines.
To help hauliers for whom buying their own truck wash would not make sense, Washtec often puts them in touch with a nearby haulier that has one.
In some cases they then pay a small fee to use another firms truck wash.
This may become even more common because tighter health and safety regulations might mean that the days of washing your own truck with a ladder, a bucket and a sponge may be numbered.
"Disposing of the dirty water properly is likely to become an issue,' says Frazer.
The CV Show will be held at Birmingham's NEC from 12-14 April 2011.
