Train Wash Systems Solutions in Canada
While operating a train service in the public transportation or freight delivery industry, the appearance of your railcars plays a major role in the way your company is perceived by the public. This factor can result in a significant loss or increase in sales. If you own a fleet of trains, it is essential to make cleaning a part of your regular maintenance schedule so that you can put your best foot forward on the tracks. Access to an in-house cleaning system will ensure your trains maintain a well-kept appearance even on long routes. Wash-Bots offers the perfect train wash equipment solution that gives your fleet an impressive finish every time.
Wash-Bots uses Bitimec’s top-of-the-line machinery to ensure a thorough clean that safely washes all large surfaces on your train exterior. Wash-Bots is proudly the exclusive Canadian distributor of Bitimec’s cutting edge train wash systems. Without our cost-effective cleaning systems, train yards must rely on tedious, time consuming manual washing services or install expensive, fully-automated washing facilities. These massive undertakings require space, infrastructure, and millions of dollars to build. To make things worse, automated cleaning systems are prone to breakage, and can be extremely expensive to repair. Our portable cleaning systems come directly to your trains for a fraction of the price, and require just one operator. These self-contained units therefore eliminate the use of third party contractors. Wash-Bots can clean an entire train in just a few hours, which means there is no need to interrupt transport services. Our SEP 1000 machines ensure a consistent clean that rids railcars of dust and maintains a high-quality finish. No matter where your facility is located in Canada, our portable train wash machines can easily be transferred to you for installation.
Hand scrubbing a railcar can take well over an hour, along with a massive amount of effort. Wash-Bots can wash and rinse all four sides of these vehicles in as little as five minutes. Feather touch steering makes it possible to maneuver all surfaces with ease. The machine is completely self-contained, meaning there are no external hoses, cords, or cables to hold you back. The ‘brush only’ inclination system leans out to reach every hard to reach surface while the base of the machine remains securely on the ground. When you purchase one of our machines, we guarantee that you will see the incredible difference that a Wash-Bots clean makes on your fleet.

Train Wash System Benefits
Savings
In order to advertise your business to onlookers while your trains are traveling across Canada, it is important to thoroughly wash your fleet on a regular basis. A high-quality clean can however, come with a major price tag if you choose to build a fully-automated facility or hire a manual cleaning service. Fleet operators that invest in a Wash-Bots train wash system can expect to see a complete ROI in 6-12 months. From there, cost savings accrue and can in no time result in millions of dollars in cash savings.
Speed
Operating a successful rail company means that your fleet is constantly being used to deliver freight or carry passengers to stations across the country. With little time in between routes, it can be difficult to schedule regular cleaning services through a third party business. Rail companies often lose valuable time that could otherwise be spent transporting goods, and in turn, increasing profits. Our train wash equipment can clean the entire surface of a railcar with a single operator in under 8 minutes every time with consistent results. Additionally, Wash-Bots owners can store their cleaning equipment in house and clean their vehicles when it is most convenient for them.
Portable
Despite their impressive height, Wash-Bot machines are entirely portable, and compact enough to keep in the station where your fleet of trains is housed in between services. Brush heights are typically 330 cm, 380 cm, or 410 cm, but can be customized to fit anywhere between 280-410 cm at no extra charge. These highly maneuverable units can operate on ground level or on a platform with height adjustable water features throughout the brush. This means that you can thoroughly wash your trains on your own time, and avoid cutting into your transport schedule. A short training session with our staff at Wash-Bots is all that you and your team will need to operate this highly effective train wash equipment.
Performance
Our train cleaning systems at Wash-Bots are masterfully designed to deep clean the large surfaces on the exterior of your trains. We offer specialized products to tackle irregular shapes, and nozzle attachments that make it easy to remove stuck-on residue. This foolproof cleaning system produces a spotless result every time. Manual cleaning can leave your trains with missed sections, as well as residual dirt and grime.

The vast majority of our machines are powered by emission-free rechargeable batteries - an eco-friendly alternative to diesel-powered machines. We have eliminated the use of large automated bays, which require a tremendous amount of electricity. Rather, our batteries can be charged using a standard 110V outlet. Finally, we clean your fleet with an eco-friendly cleaning solution that cuts through calcium chloride, grease, mud, and other unwanted residue without taking a toll on our ecosystem.
