Used Heavy Equipment For Sale In Birmingham & Trinity, AL

Purchasing used heavy equipment represents a significant investment, so it only makes sense to take good care of it. Whether from a previous owner or your own usage, dirt and grime can coat your equipment’s exterior and reduce its overall operational lifespan. However, properly washing heavy equipment requires special tools and procedures, some of which you may not be aware of. That is why R & M Equipment has created this guide to cleaning your used heavy equipment.
 

A normal water hose will not be powerful enough to effectively clean your used heavy equipment. Instead, you should use a power washer or water cannon to cut through the dirt and grime. It is also important to protect yourself from dirty water and flying debris by using waterproof clothing and eye protection. Soap scum and residue can be difficult to remove from heavy equipment, so we advise using a low-acidic product and a high-pH detergent when cleaning.
 

Once you’ve rinsed everything thoroughly, you can turn your attention to any mud and debris that is still stubbornly clinging to the machine. Apply your low-acidic product only to the machine’s body, being careful to avoid any glass or windows. Once that’s done, apply your detergent directly over the acid so that you can rinse both products away at the same time. This method has the advantage of cleaning your equipment without damaging the paint or finish.
