C2A needed a wash area it could set up, pack away and move between vehicle-cleaning jobs while collecting the wash water.
A portable wash mat with water recovery
C2A partnered with Trade Wash to purchase a portable vehicle wash bay. The setup used a 6 m × 4 m foam-edged mat and an automatic 12V recovery pump, with collected wash water transferred to a portable 1,000 L IBC.
Putting the bay to work
During the May 2025 Greensborough trial, the team assessed setup and pack-down, vehicle movements, working space and the washing process. Epping was also identified for trial work.
