ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for washing tires mounted on a vehicle includes a vehicle supporting frame to support a vehicle as it passes over the frame. Right and left frame portions support right-side and left-side tires on the vehicle. A plurality of nozzles connected to a pressurized supply of a cleaning liquid are oriented to direct pressurized cleaning liquid toward the tires of the vehicle as the vehicle passes over the frame. The plurality includes upwardly- and forwardly-directed nozzles to direct cleaning liquid upward at a tread faces of the tires, respectively as the vehicle passes over the frame, and mounted in the frame for reciprocation fore-and-aft in the direction of motion of the vehicle. Inner and outer laterally- and forwardly-directed nozzles are mounted inwardly and outwardly of the left and right tires, respectively, for reciprocation fore-and-aft in the direction of motion of the vehicle as the vehicle passes over the frame. Final rinse nozzles are provided downstream of the upwardly directed nozzles and the laterally-directed nozzles in the direction of motion of the vehicle.
