Quick Answer
Zhike ZK-T1 (S13) is a gantry-type automatic wash system for large commercial vehicles, including trucks, trailers, buses and containers. The gantry travels along the vehicle and combines high-pressure washing, an independent wheel brush, chemical application, water wax and six-fan air drying in one configured process.
Best For
- Truck fleets, logistics parks and transport depots
- Bus operators and public-transport maintenance facilities
- Container and large commercial-vehicle cleaning projects
- Sites that can provide a dedicated large-vehicle wash bay and inspection access

How the ZK-T1 Works
- The driver positions the approved vehicle in the wash bay.
- The gantry travels along the stationary vehicle.
- Chassis, wheel and lower-area rinsing loosens heavy road dirt.
- Chemical and high-pressure swing washing clean the approved vehicle surfaces.
- The independent wheel brush targets wheels and lower areas.
- Water wax and six-fan drying complete the selected program.
Function Details and Buyer Benefits
Large-Vehicle Gantry Movement
The vehicle remains in position while the gantry reciprocates along its length. This makes the system suitable for controlled fleet-wash bays where vehicle size and movement clearance can be planned in advance.
High-Pressure Swing Flushing
The moving high-pressure assembly is designed to cover the approved large-vehicle envelope. Pressure, travel and wash time are configured for the expected fleet rather than treated as one setting for every vehicle.
Independent Wheel Brush
The dedicated wheel brush provides contact cleaning in the wheel area, where heavy commercial vehicles commonly accumulate visible dirt. Brush position and permitted vehicle types must be confirmed in the layout.
Automatic Height Adjustment
Height-related control supports the selected wash and drying movement for vehicles within the approved envelope. The tallest and longest vehicle expected at the site must be supplied before configuration.
Six-Fan Air Drying
Six 5.5 kW fans provide integrated drying after washing. Drying performance depends on vehicle shape, speed, ambient conditions and the selected program.

FAQ
Can ZK-T1 wash both trucks and buses?
It can be configured for approved large commercial vehicles, but the actual fleet dimensions and body shapes must be reviewed before ordering.
Is the 24.5 m bay size a universal minimum?
No. It is a recommended planning reference. The final civil drawing must account for the selected vehicle envelope, machine travel, inspection access, drainage and local safety rules.
Can the voltage be customized?
The electrical configuration can be reviewed for the destination. Provide the local three-phase voltage and frequency before quotation.
