Every truck that leaves a construction site carries part of the site with it. Mud on tyres and undercarriages ends up on the public road, where it becomes slippery, turns into dust and draws complaints. A truck wheel wash system at the exit gate washes each vehicle before it leaves, automatically and the same way every time.
This guide explains what the GO&GO construction vehicle wash (model ACOWM) does, how it works and what your site needs to plan for.
Why Mud at the Gate Becomes a Site Problem
Dirty public roads
As a result, mud tracked onto roads is the first thing neighbours and local authorities notice.
Slow manual hosing
Washing trucks by hand at the gate is slow, so loaded trucks wait in line as a result.
Labour every shift
Moreover, manual washing needs people on every shift, and results depend on who is on duty.
Mud piling up
Meanwhile, washed-off mud collects quickly at the wash point and has to be removed.
What Site Managers Want From a Wheel Wash
- Every vehicle leaves clean, without a dedicated wash crew
- A short wash that keeps trucks moving through the gate
- A record of how many vehicles were washed
- Equipment that holds up to mud, dust and heavy loads
- A system designed around the site’s own gate and vehicles
The GO&GO Construction Vehicle Wash (ACOWM)
The ACOWM washes the undercarriage, wheels and sides of construction vehicles, garbage trucks and other trucks with high-pressure water. Optical sensors detect each vehicle and switch the spray nozzles on and off, so no one has to press a button.
A wash takes about 1–2 minutes per vehicle, and GO&GO rates the system at 200–300 vehicles per day. Each system is designed around the customer’s specific needs.

How the Truck Wheel Wash System Works at Your Gate
First, the driver brings the vehicle into the wash and positions it according to the signals. As soon as the optical sensors detect the vehicle, the spray nozzles switch on automatically.
Then the high-pressure nozzles above and below the vehicle clean its sides, wheels and undercarriage at the same time. When the vehicle moves out of the system, the nozzles shut off automatically, so water is only used while a vehicle is in the wash.
Meanwhile, the automatic mud and water winch deals with the mud that is washed off. In addition, the counter records every vehicle, so your team can compare the number of washes with the number of trucks leaving the site.

FAQs
Does someone need to operate it?
Washing starts and stops automatically by sensor. However, staff should still check water levels and deal with the mud the system collects.
Can it be adapted to our gate and vehicles?
Yes. In fact, GO&GO designs each system according to the customer’s specific needs.
What vehicles can it wash?
Construction vehicles, garbage trucks and other trucks, with a maximum vehicle load of 30–40 tonnes per axle.
How much water does it use?
About 200 L per minute while washing, so roughly 200–400 L per vehicle at 1–2 minutes per wash. Plan your water supply and drainage accordingly.
Can I see the machine before ordering?
Yes. You can book a free trial wash and see a real machine at the GO&GO workshop in Ho Chi Minh City, then order only when you are satisfied.
What does the warranty cover?
Main equipment such as pumps, control cabinets, sensors and motors has a 12-month hardware warranty. Damage from short circuits, rodents or operator impact is not covered.
