Green Cleaning with a Wash


Rack DF Ecology is a manufacturing company which specialises in the development, production and marketing of a range of environmentally focussed products, operated by rental firms, demolition contractors, recycling and construction companies. The company is a division of the leading Italian construction equipment manufacturer, TowerLight SRL.


In the UK, DF Ecology products are distributed by Milton Keynes based, TowerLight (UK) Ltd.


The latest development from DF Ecology is a self contained washing system, entitled the Wash Rack, which was launched in the UK at the recent Executive Hire Show, held during February in Coventry. The Wash Rack is designed to thoroughly clean a line of plant and machinery whilst protecting the wider environment from contaminates commonly found on construction equipment. It is swiftly installed on site or in a depot. The Wash Rack features a sturdy low angle approach ramp which allows even low profile equipment being swiftly located onto the wash pad. The wash pad has a diamond patterned tread, with grit impregnated surface for


to ensure excellent traction, with no undulations or any other trip or slip hazards. The Wash Rack operates from recycled water and therefore alleviates the need to apply for a discharge licence. To aid the safe disposal of environmentally risky material, the Wash Rack is fitted with a series of separation tanks that securely isolates diesel, petrol, oils, grease and other chemicals, making these hazardous contaminates ready for proper disposal. The complete unit has a 300 kg per wheel load capacity and will support plant and equipment up to 90 tons in weight. The Wash Rack can be installed above ground as a semi-permanent installation and its 2-metre high walls will help to ensure that overspray is kept to a minimum.
