Salt may be one of the most effective ways to melt snow and ice on the roadways, but once the job is done, it stays on the road. When a car, bus, train, or truck passes over a road surface that’s been salted, a certain amount of the salt gets kicked around and winds up on the undercarriage of the vehicle.
This wet, salty condition accelerates the oxidation of metal. If you don’t remove salt on a regular basis, your vehicle’s undercarriage can rust. High-intensity super-salts like Calcium and Magnesium Chloride and Salt Brine are ruining your equipment and vehicles.
These Salts attack brake lines, wiring, bodies, oil pans, rims, and chassis of snow removal equipment.
Our complete system, with its 2-tiered attack on salt, will extend the useful life of your trucks and cut down on costly corrosion-related repairs.
Ask for a copy of the NYC MTA study that analyzes the benefits.
Out on the road 8-10 hours, there will be corrosion. It’s recommended that you always use an undercarriage cleaner for salt-corrosion prevention.
If you live in the Salt Belt, you already know how fast road salt can trigger corrosion, and the undercarriage is where it quietly does the most damage. Making salt removal part of your routine helps protect critical components and avoid expensive repair and replacement costs over time.
Safewash Technologies is a family-owned company with over 80 years of innovation in industrial cleaners and degreasers, specially formulated detergents, and municipal fleet maintenance.
What began in 1940 as Parke Hill Chemical — a small, local supplier of fuel additives — has evolved into one of the Northeast’s leading manufacturers of water-based detergents and specialized cleaning systems engineered to prevent salt corrosion on municipal fleets.
Through every generation, our mission has stayed the same: Engineer smarter, safer, and more effective cleaning solutions that protect equipment, the environment, and your bottom line.
Within minutes, fleet managers can eliminate salt, extend vehicle lifespan, and save thousands in repair costs each winter. SaltWash systems are trusted by highway departments, DPWs, and DOT fleets across the Northeast and beyond.
We believe that protecting your fleet shouldn’t come at the cost of time, labor, or the environment. That’s why every Safewash product — from detergents to automated wash systems — is designed to be eco-friendly, easy to use, and built to last.
Safewash Technologies continues to operate with the same family values and engineering integrity that have defined us since 1940 — combining decades of experience with modern innovation to help you preserve your fleet and conquer corrosion.

Typically it takes 3-5 minutes to clean and neutralize a vehicle
Yes. The system can be used on any street-legal vehicle with a minimum of 5 inches of ground clearance, including police vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, and snow-removal trucks.
Yes, it can be used outdoors; however, water freezes at 32°F. Only operate the system in above-freezing temperatures.
If installed outside, a 3-way ball valve should be installed to inject shop air through the system. The power unit and tanks must be mounted indoors.
Yes. The system can be used indoors and indoor installation is recommended.
The – A-25 system cleans the chassis and up to 4 feet up the sides of the vehicle.
The – A-40 system includes four fully adjustable spinner heads per side, allowing cleaning all the way to the top of the vehicle.
No. Simply drive over the ramps. The system activates automatically and shuts off on a timed cycle.
The run time is adjustable from 15 seconds to 30 minutes, providing more than enough time for thorough cleaning and neutralization.
The system is designed to operate for many years. With basic maintenance, it will provide long-term, reliable cleaning service.
Yes. Most replacement parts are readily available.
230V / 3-phase electrical supply for the power unit
20–40 GPM water supply to feed the buffer tank
No excavation required
System can be fully broken down and reassembled in under 30 minutes
Staff training takes less than one hour and covers system assembly, component identification, and safe, efficient operation.
For corrosion resistance and snow-removal fleets, the system must be used exclusively with SaltWash® salt neutralizer.
Use of any other detergent voids the warranty.
Vehicle speed varies between 1–2 MPH, depending on the severity of undercarriage buildup.
The system is automated, safer, and more comfortable for staff. It eliminates cold-weather exposure risks such as slips and falls, cleans more efficiently over a wider area, and injects salt neutralizer to prevent future corrosion.
The system ensures the entire underside is consistently cleaned. Results are not operator-dependent, the driver stays inside the vehicle, and remains warm and comfortable throughout the process.
Ignoring undercarriage corrosion leads to mechanical failure, downtime, and avoidable repair costs. Using this system extends the life of corrosion-prone components such as oil pans and brake lines, saving time, money, and labor.
SafeWash Technologies can help with this. We have equipment that makes cleaning the undersides of trucks almost effortless!
Offered as a complete system, the SaltWash Chassis Wash makes the cleanup after the storm effortless. Simply drive over the above-ground Heavy Duty Spray Ramps and get the chassis of the truck clean and neutralized!
