Trusted by Europe’s leading construction companies
Construction needs a parts washing process that’s powerful and precise enough to shift contaminants like grease and carbon from large and intricate components.
That’s why many construction maintenance leaders choose our fast yet effective parts cleaning solutions.
It’s the best thing ever; it saves us so much time.

Backhoe loaders
Bulldozers
Concrete mixers and pumps
Crawler and wheeled excavators
Mobile and crawler cranes
Motor graders
Piling and drilling rigs
Telehandlers

Whatever state your plant gets into, you need the components pristine – any trace of contaminant could accelerate wear or corrosion and shorten your asset’s life. Our validated processes remove operator inconsistency and deliver a reliable clean without damaging valuable parts.
Skilled technicians are hard to come by. You want yours maintaining your plant, not servicing the parts washer. Our all-in-one pricing includes regular, expert washer maintenance as standard – with 99% uptime guaranteed – and ongoing support.
With Safetykleen, there’s no up-front capital cost for your parts washer. Instead, you get your hardware, cleaning chemistry, washer maintenance, compliant waste chemical disposal, process documentation, training, and ongoing expert support – all for a regular, predictable cost that puts you back in control of your budget.
You have enough compliance paperwork to deal with. Let us reduce that load by processing your used cleaning chemistry, meeting the Waste Framework Directive, and providing all the documentation. It’s all included in your monthly fee.
