Service area / Pressure washers and trailer rigs in Long Beach

Wash Long Beach truck yards and port equipment where they sit

Long Beach is served from the Pacoima shop. The shop's service trucks work Los Angeles County, and its trailer rigs bring the water with them, so your crew can wash a yard that has no wash bay.

What gets washed here

  • Drayage tractors, container chassis and trailers working the port
  • Yard equipment and forklifts in warehouses and distribution buildings
  • Boat trailers and marina gear that live in salt air
  • Industrial floors and loading docks with oil and fuel spills

A truck yard near the port collects diesel soot, road film and grease on everything that rolls. That is hot-water work, and most yards want it done at night or between shifts, at the yard, without moving the trucks. A trailer rig does that because it carries its own water.

Flow matters more than pressure on a long line of trailers. An 8 GPM machine moves 60% more water a minute than a 5 GPM one at the same pressure, and on a trailer side, water is what carries the dirt off. On the published grid the 8 GPM AWW-HDS8 on a tandem 460-gallon UTT460 is $18,088, and the Alkota 8405HNL on the same trailer is $20,688. A full 460-gallon tank runs an 8 GPM gun for a little under an hour before it needs a refill, so yards with a hydrant or hose bib keep the tank topped as they go.

The shop sells Hotsy, Alkota and All American machines and repairs those and other makes, in the shop or on site.

Call (818) 252-0706 and start with the yard: what rolls through it, how dirty it comes back, and what the current wash is costing you.

A dead burner, a citation, a bid due Friday. Your words.
How do we reach you? A phone or an email is enough.
A few more questions (optional)
Downtime, labor, a lost bid. A rough idea is fine.
Brand, model, age if you know it.

Here's what happens next: The Pacoima counter calls you within one business hour, or emails you if you leave no number. The call is 15 minutes. We ask what's going wrong, how you plan to pay, and who else weighs in. At the end we set a next step, or tell you straight that we're not the right shop. Nobody pitches anything until we understand the job.
