Saunders gets Moby Dick wheel washer

Saunders Highway Equipment has become the sole UK concessionaire for the Moby Dick range of truck-wheel washers. Saunders director Ken Beadle says the Moby Dick Junior is especially suited to the needs of the construction industry as it can be moved easily from one site to the next.

The Junior has two powered rollers to rotate the wheels of one axle at a time, while high-pressure water jets (1,600 litres/min at 4bar) wash off the mud.

Installing a Junior requires an excavation 1m wide by 1m deep. It weighs 3.2t when dry and holds 3,400 litres of water. The unit can be specified at various widths to cater for different types of truck from road-going to ADT. It requires a three-phase electricity supply and connection to a 20mm water main.
