EMR – Specialist Heavy Plant Cleaning

Supporting Engineering Teams Through Specialist Industrial Cleaning

‍

Overview

24/7 Fleet Cleaning Services provides specialist heavy plant cleaning services for EMR, one of the UK's leading metal recycling companies.

Working at their dockside recycling facilities, our fully mobile teams carry out engineering cleans on large Liebherr material handlers and other heavy plant equipment used in the handling and processing of scrap metal.

Unlike a cosmetic vehicle wash, these cleans are completed to prepare machinery for servicing, preventative maintenance and engineering inspections.

‍

Specialist Heavy Plant Cleaning

Our specialist cleaning teams attend site with fully mobile hot-water pressure washing equipment, allowing us to clean heavy machinery anywhere on site without relying on customer facilities.

Working safely within an operational dock environment, we remove years of accumulated grease, oil, dust and contamination from the machinery before planned maintenance takes place.

‍

The Challenge

Material handlers working within scrap recycling operate in one of the harshest environments imaginable.

Every day the machines are exposed to:

• Scrap metal dust
• Grease and hydraulic oil
• Mud and standing water
• Heavy industrial contamination
• Metal filings and debris

This contamination builds up around engines, hydraulic systems, cooling packs and moving components, making routine servicing more difficult and preventing engineers from properly inspecting the equipment.

‍

Cleaning for Engineering Inspections

Rather than simply washing the outside of the machine, we clean key engineering areas including:

• Engine compartments
• Hydraulic pipework
• Cooling packs
• Hydraulic pumps
• Grease build-up
• Boom assemblies
• Access platforms
• Inspection points

This enables engineers to carry out maintenance safely and efficiently while making it much easier to identify oil leaks, damaged hoses and worn components.

The Finished Result

Following our specialist cleaning process, the machine is left significantly cleaner and ready for engineering inspection and servicing.

Critical maintenance areas become fully accessible, allowing workshop teams to carry out repairs more efficiently and safely.
