Truck & Trailer Beds

Elgee can offer the appropriate solution for your cleaning needs: the Elgee Power Vac driven by a 6 or 10 HP Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine or a 5.5 HP Honda gasoline engine.

Distribution Centers and Warehouses have a mired of cleaning requirements: storage aisles, staging & packaging areas, loading docks and the individual trailer beds of the delivery trucks.
