Pressure Washing Forklifts For Nestle Waters

We recently had an equipment pressure washing job for Nestle Waters.

They needed us to go to their 200,000 square foot bottling facility in Denver’s Mile High Industrial Park to clean the forklifts they use to move their pallets of bottled water.

When cleaning equipment of any type, whether it’s heavy construction equipment in a muddy field, or smaller machinery like these forklifts that are used inside warehouses, you have to know which areas of the machine to protect from getting wet. Almost all equipment manufactured today has some type of electronic controls that have to be protected from moisture.

And if you’re pressure washing equipment like forklifts, you also have the areas on the mast (where the lift slides up and down) that are covered with grease. It’s important to make sure you don’t splatter the grease onto other surfaces.

Forklift masts are usually greasy

Pressure washing machines are very effective cleaning tools – if you know how to use them. In the hands of an inexperienced operator, the 3500psi water  stream can easily cause damage to breakable parts. Or it can be blasted into cracks and crevices and get things wet that shouldn’t be.

If you don’t know how to control the pressure washing gun, you can splatter grease back and forth from surface to surface and make the mess worse instead of cleaning it. We’ve been called in after someone who didn’t know what they were doing and made a huge greasy mess.

So if you need equipment cleaning, make sure you call a company that knows what they’re doing – and guarantees their work. Call us if we can be of service.
