Heavy Equipment Wash Bay Enclosures
Heavy Equipment Wash Bay Systems – Industrial Washdown Containment for Demanding Facilities
A properly designed heavy equipment wash bay is critical for facilities that clean large machinery, fleet vehicles, and industrial equipment. Steel Guard Safety provides custom-engineered wash bay enclosure systems that help contain overspray, manage wastewater, and protect surrounding work areas—without permanent construction.
Our wash bay systems are trusted by municipalities, contractors, manufacturers, and maintenance operations that need durable, compliant, and flexible washdown containment built for real-world industrial use.
Why Heavy Equipment Wash Bays Are Essential
Uncontained washdown operations can quickly lead to water migration, chemical exposure, slip hazards, and environmental violations. A Steel Guard Safety heavy equipment wash bay enclosure creates a controlled wash zone that helps you:
-
Contain overspray, runoff, and debris
-
Protect workers and nearby equipment
-
Improve facility cleanliness and safety
-
Support OSHA and EPA compliance efforts
-
Reduce long-term maintenance and liability
Unlike concrete or framed walls, our systems provide a cost-effective, modular alternative that installs quickly and adapts as your operation changes.
Containing water and residue inside a defined wash bay also helps reduce slip-and-fall risks, supporting safer facilities in accordance with OSHA walking-working surface safety standards.
Engineered for High-Pressure, Heavy-Duty Washdown
Steel Guard Safety wash bay systems are built specifically for industrial wash environments involving pressure washing, degreasers, detergents, and repeated exposure to moisture.

- Measure the Distance of the Width of the Curtain Laid Out
-
- Steel Guard Adds 3% + 2″ to the Width Of Curtains for Drapage (Unless Custom Spec’d)
- The Track Hardware is the Same Width as Your Order.
2. Measure the Distance from the Floor to the Mounting Point
-
- Paint Booth Curtains with Track come Standard 3″ Shorter to Account for the Track. (For Example a 10′ Height System Measures 9′-9″)
- If you have a Floor Sweep the Size is the 3″ Shorter and the Floor Sweep will Drape and Inch Below the Full Measure Height
- If you are needing to Enclose a Sloped Roof the Track Paint Booth Curtain will be the Height before the Egress. We will need to make Two Triangular Panels. We will need the “Right Side Height”, “Left Side Height, and the Width.
All the Track Parts Connect Modularly
- Layout the Track Pieces & Connectors Along the Floor Right Below Where you Plan to Mount Them.
- Affix One of the End Stops Along the End of the Track (Unless Track is In-between Walls)
- Connect the Track on the Back Side By Sliding the In-Line Connectors Over the Track and Match Up the Holes, Use an All Wrench with Set Screws to Affix
- . Take First Piece of Track and Second Piece of Track and Slide the Left Side of the Next In-Line Connector and One Peice and Right Side of the In-Line Connector.
- Continue this in Perpetuity Untill the Track System is to End.
For More Detailed Information Take a look at our Track Installation Instructions
Typically Track Spacing is Anywhere from 5′-8′ Apart.
Unless the System is very heavy and tall Spacing below 5′ will not be necessary. Most systems up to 8′ will have a “droop of less than 1/8”. This is called the Deflection. Contact one of our Reps if you are Needing Help Determining the Deflection.
