Heavy Equipment Cleaning

Heavy equipment in construction, mining, and industrial operations accumulates heavy soils, oils, and caked material. Cleaning must be effective and safe around hydraulics and electrics.

Common methods

• Hot water pressure washing: Breaks down heavy mud, clay, and road film on frames, tracks, and bodies.

• Dry ice blasting: Cleans engine compartments, electrical components, and hydraulic areas without introducing water.

• Foam cleaning: Applies detergents to vertical and complex surfaces to remove grease and oils.

• Soda blasting: Used for paint and rust removal on buckets, booms, and frames where controlled abrasion is acceptable.

• Dry vapor steam cleaning: Targets detailed areas, interiors, and sensitive components with low moisture.

Typical applications

• Cleaning excavators, loaders, haul trucks, and cranes.

• Removing build-up from undercarriages, tracks, and running gear.

• Degreasing engines, hydraulic packs, and powertrains.

• Preparing equipment for inspection, maintenance, or resale.

• Removing rust and coatings from attachments and structural components.
