Pressure Washing Heavy Equipment
High-pressure washing removes packed soil and debris from tracks, undercarriages, and wheel wells.

Equipment Cleaning & Phytosanitary Preparation for Export
Atlantic Heavy Loaders cleans construction, agricultural, and industrial equipment to meet USDA and destination-country phytosanitary requirements before export. Every equipment cleaning project removes soil, plant material, and pest contamination from tracks, undercarriages, and attachments – not just a surface wash – so equipment clears inspection the first time.

USDA phytosanitary standard
Every wash is performed to meet USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements for export.
Pressure washing heavy equipment
High-pressure equipment removes packed soil and debris from tracks, undercarriages, and wheel wells.
Steam cleaning where needed
Equipment steam cleaning reaches oil, grease, and contamination pressure washing alone can't clear.
One request, one team
No subcontractor handoffs between cleaning, inspection, and export prep.
Why It Matters
Cleaning Scoped to What the Destination Country Actually Requires
Not every machine needs the same cleaning. Some equipment only needs a pressure washing heavy equipment pass to clear surface soil; others – especially undercarriages, tracks, and tire treads – need equipment steam cleaning to remove packed soil, plant matter, and pest contamination that a phytosanitary inspection specifically checks for. Atlantic Heavy Loaders scopes every industrial equipment cleaning services project against the requirements of the destination country and the equipment's actual contamination risk points, so cleaning isn't lighter than the inspection requires – or more extensive than the move demands.
- Tracks, undercarriages, and attachments inspected for soil and organic material before cleaning begins
- Cleaning method matched to contamination type – pressure washing or steam cleaning
- Equipment re-inspected for phytosanitary compliance before export documentation is finalized
Our Commitment
A Cleaning Plan Built Around Phytosanitary Requirements
- Contamination risk points confirmed before cleaning starts
- Method matched to soil, grease, or organic material
- Re-inspected before export documentation
What We Do
Equipment Cleaning & Phytosanitary Services
Cleaning services scoped to equipment type, contamination risk, and the phytosanitary requirements of the destination country.
Equipment Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning removes oil, grease, and embedded contamination pressure alone can't clear.
Construction Equipment Cleaning
Excavators, loaders, and dozers are cleaned at tracks, buckets, and attachment points.
Machinery Cleaning Services
Agricultural and industrial machinery is cleaned to meet export and phytosanitary standards.
Undercarriage & Track Cleaning
Undercarriages, tracks, and tire treads are cleaned at the highest-risk points for soil and pest contamination.
Pre-Export Inspection Support
Cleaned equipment is staged for phytosanitary inspection ahead of export documentation.
Process
How the Work Is Performed
Contamination Review
Equipment is inspected for soil, plant material, and pest contamination risk points.
Cleaning Method Selection
Pressure washing or steam cleaning is selected based on contamination type.
Cleaning
Tracks, undercarriages, attachments, and wheel wells are cleaned to phytosanitary standard.
Re-Inspection
Equipment is re-inspected to confirm it meets USDA and destination-country requirements.
Export Handoff
Cleaned equipment moves directly into crating, container loading, or carrier pickup.
Options
One Cleaning Standard, Multiple Methods
Option 01
Pressure Washing
High-pressure water removes surface soil and packed debris.
Option 02
Steam Cleaning
Higher-temperature cleaning removes oil, grease, and embedded contamination.
Option 03
Undercarriage & Track Detailing
Focused cleaning of the highest-risk contamination points.
Option 04
Pre-Export Inspection Staging
Cleaned equipment staged and documented ahead of phytosanitary inspection.
Pricing
What Affects Your Equipment Cleaning Cost
Equipment Size & Contamination Level
Larger equipment and heavier soil or organic buildup require more time and cleaning passes.
Cleaning Method
Equipment steam cleaning generally costs more than standard pressure washing heavy equipment due to time and equipment requirements.
Number of Contact Points
Machines with more tracks, wheels, attachments, and recesses take longer to clean to phytosanitary standard.
Turnaround Timeline
Standard scheduling costs less than expedited cleaning tied to an inspection or vessel booking deadline.

Operations
Talk to Our Team →Houston Operations Hub
Equipment is received and cleaned at our Houston operations hub before export documentation moves forward – whether it's arriving from a seller, auction, dealer, or carrier. Once cleaning and inspection are complete, equipment moves directly into crating, container loading, or carrier pickup – without re-engaging separate contractors.
Equipment Receiving
Inbound delivery is logged and inspected on arrival from sellers, auctions, dealers, or carriers.
Controlled Cleaning Area
Equipment is cleaned in a dedicated wash area at our Houston hub.
Integrated Preparation
Projects move directly into crating, loading, or storage without a change in contractor.
Nationwide Support
Atlantic Heavy Loaders coordinates industrial equipment cleaning services beyond Houston as well.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Many destination countries require equipment to pass a phytosanitary inspection confirming it's free of soil, plant material, and pests before it can be imported.
Need International Transportation After Cleaning?
Once your equipment is cleaned, inspected, and export-ready, Atlantic Project Cargo (APC) organizes the international transportation to get it where it needs to go.
