Invasive/Noxious Weed Washdown Station

The largest unit in the country for processing fire equipment to prevent the spreading of invasive weeds from forest to forest.

In the noxious weed fight, prevention is the most effective, and least expensive, weapon. Our wash down station is a complete preventative measure, and it is therefore preferable operations where no or little undercarriage washdown takes place. With the undercarriage being the highest-risk area for seed transport, other detrimental factors without containment include seeds left on the ground for other vehicles to transport to parts unknown. Our self-contained system catches and safely removes weed seed for disposal.

Years of design and incorporating data and proven technologies of industry leaders from around the country have given us the cutting edge in safely removing weed seeds from the undersides of any rig. Pickups, engines, tenders, lowboys and heavy equipment can all be processed quickly and effectively through our station. This station has proven that even soil-coated equipment is processed, while small-scale "Pressure Washers on a Tarp" have let down resource advisors over and over. This unit has highly-rated evaluations from range conservationists on the forests in Oregon, Idaho and Montana.

On the video, you can see mud on the drive-through rack. This mud contains the weed seeds.
