30" Tommy Transporter Conveyor Belt System - Primered Steel Frame
Elevate your car wash efficiency and customer experience with the Tommy Transporter Dual Belt Conveyor System. This innovative technology is the ultimate upgrade from traditional, complex chain-and-roller systems, designed to simplify vehicle loading, minimize damage claims, and maximize your revenue by washing more cars per hour.
Key Benefits of the Tommy Transporter:
- Easy, Low-Stress Loading: Eliminates the anxiety associated with guide rails and correlators. Customers simply drive onto the wide, forgiving belt and shift to neutral.
- Increased Throughput: The continuous-movement design and easy loading allow you to process significantly more vehicles (up to 220+ cars per hour), maximizing your profitability.
- Wash More Types of Vehicles: The wide, low-profile, dual-belt design easily accommodates a wider range of vehicles, including lowered cars and most dually trucks, expanding your potential customer base.
- Superior Safety: The dual belt system reduces the risk of vehicle damage (like scratched rims) and prevents the customer from putting the vehicle in park or turning the wheel during the wash.
- Reduced Maintenance: With fewer moving parts like chains, rollers, and complex correlators, the Transporter requires significantly less daily maintenance, leading to more predictable repairs and fewer unexpected breakdowns.
- Primered Steel Frame: Offers a cost-effective and strong foundation with a demonstrated service life of 13 years.
The system is perfect for new installations or for retrofitting and replacing existing chain-and-roller conveyor systems. It gives the vehicle a smooth, gentle "magic carpet ride" through the tunnel.
