ABSTRACT:
The tire cleaning apparatus provides a vibration-inducing surface for a vehicle passing over the tire cleaning apparatus in order to remove dirt and debris from the tires of the vehicle. The tire cleaning apparatus includes at least one tire-cleaning frame, which is formed from a plurality of upper C-shaped beams, which are secured to a plurality of lower C-shaped beams in a rectilinear grid-shaped pattern. Sidewalls of the upper C-shaped beams, which project upwardly, form the vibration-inducing surface, and channels formed in the upper C-shaped beams allow for the collection of dirt and debris, and also provide for the drainage of water. Similar sidewalls of the lower C-shaped beams engage the ground for secure positioning of the tire-cleaning frame.
