Mobile wash bays for trucks
Mobile truck wash bays are applicable across many industries. Modular in design, they can be packed up and transported to different sites to maximise convenience and effectiveness.
Truck wash-down equipment designed for every application
Our truck wash bays are modular systems that can be expanded to suit your on-site needs. Our truck wash equipment is small (3.25m wide x 2.4m deep) and large (6.5m wide x 2.4m deep). You can even join multiple decks together for a customisable fit.
We also have a wide range of wall, ramp, and shelter options that can be tailored to your area. Standard configurations include drive-through (two side walls), drive-on and reverse-off (three), or no walls. These systems can also be fitted to feature essential equipment such as oil-water separators and water recycling systems, helping reduce discharge to sewer and conserving resources.

Customer reviews
I have been a plumber for over thirty years and installed many water treatment systems. CleanaWater systems are by far the best for quality and reliability. They provide excellent customer service, from sales staff right through to expert advice and technical help. Can't thank CleanaWater enough!
Iain Paterson, Multilple Trades and Maintenance
We have seen a fantastic improvement since the OdourPro VapourGard™ system was installed 3 years ago. The system mitigates the heavy odours which are released from the site, which has improved conditions for our staff and almost completely eliminated complaints from local residents and businesses
Glenn Claverie, Select Civil
The whole process was very simple, the sales and technical support was great, when needed contact was made easily for assistance during construction and the finished product works and looks fantastic, all in all working with the CleanaWater team to purchase our new Portable Wash Bay was a trouble free process
Doug Neil, Stihl Sales and Service Centre Coffs Harbour
The purchasing of our oil separator, from obtaining a quote through to delivery, was made extremely easy through CleanaWater, the staff are easy to deal with and make the whole process hassle-free, as well as supplying a quality product. I would highly recommend CleanaWater products in the future.
Bret Sheehan, Surefire Plumbing Services
The VapourGard™ system is a great alternative to the other odour suppression systems out there. The unit is easy to use and maintain, does not need a portable water source to dilute the chemical and has a low chemical usage which cuts down on cost.
Nicholas Bhugon, SITA Australia
Cleanawater have been very helpful in getting the solution ordered and out the door to us as quickly as possible. All this in the midst of supply chain issues globally. It’s nice when things still, just, work!
Tom Filipcic, FUCHS Lubricants (Australasia) Pty. Ltd.
In combination with a wide range of operational controls, we have found that complaints from our neighbours have significantly reduced since the VapourGard was installed.
