High-pressure washdown trailers built for harsh sites

Shermac Wash Down Trailers provide dependable, high-pressure cleaning capability for mining, civil and industrial operations. Each unit is engineered for rugged terrain, continuous vibration and heavy daily use. The design pairs a non-corrosive polyethylene tank, available in 200 to 2000 litre capacities, with a durable trailer chassis built to maintain stability across rough ground. Baffling is available as an option to improve load control where required.

Every trailer is mine-spec ready, with options for bunded pump compartments, isolation systems, fire suppression, and site-specific safety inclusions. The layout keeps operation simple and servicing fast, so your crew can clean equipment, remove contamination and keep turnaround times tight.

All Shermac wash down trailers can be customised to your pressure requirements, water capacity, access needs and fleet standards. Each build is designed to maximise uptime and deliver long service life in demanding conditions.

The benefits that keep your fleet moving

Mine-spec compliance as standard

Mine-spec compliance as standard

Every Shermac wash down trailer is built to meet strict mine-spec requirements. Safety systems such as isolation points, emergency stops, wheel chocks, reflective tape, fire extinguishers and compliant access setups can be integrated as standard. Optional bunded pump compartments help contain spills and protect equipment in high-risk areas.

Configurable tank capacities up to 15,000 litres

High-pressure performance for heavy contamination

Our diesel-powered high-pressure pump systems are configured for effective removal of mud, clay and contaminants. Trailers can be equipped with hot or cold washdown systems, variable spray nozzles, and extended hose reel options. All components are selected for long service life in abrasive environments.

Non-corrosive tanks

Non-corrosive tanks

The lightweight polyethylene tank resists corrosion and cracking in harsh conditions. Capacities from 200 to 2000 litres allow you to match water volume to site demands. Optional internal baffling reduces fluid movement to improve stability and handling across uneven ground.

Rugged chassis built for rough terrain

Rugged chassis built for rough terrain

A formed-steel frame and suspension rated up to 3500 kg GVM provide strong support for continual rough-site operation. Braking systems are matched to trailer weight, with mechanical or electric brake options to keep towing controlled and compliant.

Operator-friendly hose and reel systems

Operator-friendly hose and reel systems

Each trailer can be configured with 30 metre hose reels, adjustable washdown wands, and optional fire-fighter reels. The layout keeps controls simple and reduces operator fatigue during repetitive cleaning tasks.

Service access that reduces downtime
