As we delve into the benefits of having a portable wash bay, let us first understand what a wash bay is and why it is required?
Transportation is the backbone of any economy and the fleet used to make transportation successful are put through a lot of dust and dirt depending on the industry they are used in. industries such as the mining, construction expose their fleet of trucks and bulldozers to different contaminants which need to be cleaned on a regular basis.
