DRIVE-THROUGH WASH SYSTEMS
ISTOBAL drive-through wash systems are engineered for fleet operators and transport companies that need to wash a wide range of commercial vehicles efficiently. With friction and touch-free high-pressure options, these systems clean trucks, tankers and special-profile vehicles in a single continuous cycle while keeping water and chemical consumption under control.
ISTOBAL HW'DRIVE-THRU - Heavy-duty friction wash for fleets
The HW'DRIVE-THRU is a heavy-duty friction system designed specifically for fleet operators and transport companies that need to wash a wide range of vehicles. Its strong design, reliable mechanics and gentle, precise brush movements deliver an efficient wash in a single or continuous cycle.
- 4 vertical brushes that wash independently, plus optional mitter curtains for the top.
- Half-length brushes that clean below side mirrors and scrub the tractor grille, fuel tanks and trailer skirts.
- Password-protected touchscreen control panel with built-in chemical metering for a compact footprint.
- Recommended add-ons: high-pressure wheel blasters and a pre-soak chemical arch (wax and spot-free RO).
- Options: undercarriage rinse, high-pressure side blasters, water reclaim, reverse osmosis, drying/blower system, pacing lights, RFID entry and wash program selection.
Wash dimensions: max wash height 14', max wash width 8'6"; recommended bay 18' H x 22' W x 60' L.
ISTOBAL HW'ROTATORS - Touch-free high-pressure wash for irregular vehicles
The HW'ROTATORS is a modular system of 2–8 motorized rotator units and the only drive-through on the market with motorized rotators. This high-pressure, touch-free equipment is designed for irregularly shaped commercial vehicles that can't be washed with a standard rollover, such as garbage trucks, tankers, oil-field equipment and military vehicles.
- Rotating spray arms maintain constant water pressure, with integrated stabilizers that prevent pressure loss for consistent cleaning.
- Up to 8 orientable motorized rotators wash commercial vehicles up to 13'-9" tall.
- Optional automatic foaming chemical prewash for a longer reaction time and controlled consumption.
- Optional pump racks deliver 1,015 PSI at 126 L/min, with a 200 L tank, bypass regulator and 100-micron inlet filter.
- Underchassis rinse and chemical application to protect against road-salt corrosion.
Built for uptime and fleet profitability
ISTOBAL drive-through systems combine rugged construction with reliable mechanics to keep fleets moving. Choose friction (HW'DRIVE-THRU) for everyday trucks and trailers, or touch-free high pressure (HW'ROTATORS) for garbage trucks, tankers and other irregular profiles. Both can be configured with water reclaim, reverse osmosis and remote connectivity to lower operating costs, cut water and chemical use, and keep every vehicle clean, compliant and road-ready.
What's the difference between the HW'DRIVE-THRU and the HW'ROTATORS?
The HW'DRIVE-THRU is a friction system with vertical brushes, ideal for everyday fleet vehicles such as trucks and trailers. The HW'ROTATORS is a touch-free, high-pressure system with motorized rotators, designed for irregularly shaped vehicles that can't be washed with brushes, such as garbage trucks, tankers and military vehicles.
What vehicles can these systems wash?
Both are built for commercial fleets. The HW'DRIVE-THRU handles a wide range of trucks and trailers up to 14' wash height, while the HW'ROTATORS cleans irregular profiles up to 13'-9" tall, including garbage trucks, tankers, oil-field equipment and military vehicles.
Are these systems touch-free or friction?
Both options are available. The HW'DRIVE-THRU is a friction wash with independent vertical brushes and optional mitter curtains, while the HW'ROTATORS is a fully touch-free, high-pressure wash using motorized rotating spray arms.
Can they reduce water and chemical consumption?
Yes. Both can be configured with partial water reclaim and reverse osmosis systems, and the HW'ROTATORS adds a foaming chemical prewash with a longer reaction time for controlled consumption. Built-in chemical metering and remote connectivity help operators optimize usage and lower operating costs.
Do they protect against road-salt corrosion?
Yes. The HW'ROTATORS offers an underchassis rinse and underchassis chemical application, the most effective way to prevent underbody corrosion caused by destructive road salts. The HW'DRIVE-THRU also offers an undercarriage rinse option.
