30" Tommy Transporter Conveyor Belt System - Stainless Steel Frame
Invest in the future of your wash with the Tommy Transporter Dual Belt Conveyor System featuring a robust Stainless Steel Frame. This top-tier upgrade provides all the benefits of the standard Transporter—high throughput, easy loading, and superior safety—while delivering significantly enhanced durability against the harsh, corrosive environment of a modern car wash tunnel.
Key Benefits of the Stainless Steel Transporter:
- Maximum Corrosion Resistance: The heavy-duty Stainless Steel frame (instead of primered steel) offers the highest level of protection against water, chemicals, and road salt, ensuring a prolonged structural service life and minimizing long-term maintenance costs.
- 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.
- Superior Safety & Vehicle Compatibility: The dual belt system accommodates a wider range of vehicles, including lowered cars and most dually trucks, while virtually eliminating the risk of wheel or tire damage associated with chain systems.
- Reduced Maintenance: With fewer moving parts than traditional systems, combined with the extreme resilience of stainless steel, daily maintenance and corrosion-related repairs are drastically reduced.
The Stainless Steel Transporter is the definitive choice for operators who demand maximum longevity and minimum downtime from their core equipment.
