A portable shower system includes a portable shower apparatus housed in a wheeled cart. The shower apparatus comprises a shower head, at least two water tanks, including a hot water tank and a cold water tank, and a plurality of pipes with valves operably connected to shower faucet knobs or handles. The hot water tank includes a water heater operably connected by power cords to a battery, solar panel, or combination thereof, for heating of water contained therein. The cart includes access doors for filling and maintenance of water tanks. Water pipes in fluid communication with the water tanks, a shower faucet and a shower head enable delivery of hot and cold water to the shower head, in response to use of faucet handles for hot and cold water. The invention provides a solution to the problem of a lack of portable shower facilities for indoor and outdoor use.

A vehicle treatment system includes a signalling device with at least one sensor and a signal generator. The sensor can continuously detect the position of the vehicle in a predetermined approach region in front of or in the vehicle treatment system. The signal generator can output a signal which changes continuously or discretely and corresponds to a continuously changing position of the vehicle. In this case, the signalling device has at least two lights arranged above one another. A corresponding method can be used for determining and displaying entry information.

A towable trailer vehicle is provided having a pass-through cart treatment chamber formed from lateral side to side between two ramp doors. The chamber forms a spray tunnel in which carts are moved by a conveyor from various treatment stations to the next, and which can include cleaning, sanitizing and/or disinfecting, rinsing, drying, and applying protective coatings to each cart. The various fluids used in the spray treatment are stored, prepared, controlled, and collected for reuse and/or disposal within the trailer. The trailer is dimensioned to allow sufficient advertising, information, and/or aesthetic decor thereon to facilitate its use and desirability. The trailer structure provides apparatus security during periods of non-use.

An apparatus for treating a vehicle surface with a fluid has a rotation device pivotably mounted about an axis of rotation, and a fluid supply device disposed concentrically with respect to the rotation device and which has an inlet opening for the supply of fluid. The apparatus is characterized in that a groove is formed in the fluid supply device. The groove is fluidically connected to the inlet opening and extends in the circumferential direction with respect to the axis of rotation over a limited circumferential angle range of the fluid supply device. The rotation device has a plurality of separate fluid channels, each of which opens into openings. The openings are disposed such that irrespective of the angular position of the rotation device to the fluid supply device with respect to the axis of rotation, and at least one of the openings of the rotation device is fluidically connected to the groove of the fluid supply device.

An inline vertical tack-off system for cleaning vehicular bodies that eliminates the need to spatially dispose rotating brushes and thereby enhance the cleaning efficiency while reducing the space occupied by the apparatus by vertically aligning a plurality of cleaning brushes to clean the full height of a vehicle body. Additionally, the apparatus includes a positioning system which allows the tack-off brushes to move in relation to any of a variety of vehicular bodies by adjusting the distance between the brushes and the vehicle body under the control of a program, as well as by controlling the tilt of the brushes match the vehicle contours and thereby optimize the contact force applied by the brushes to the vehicular surface being cleaned. Also, the system includes a vortex enhanced plenum utilized to evacuate ambient air and contaminant particles.

A system for removing carryback material from within a dump body of a haul truck includes a clean out implement. A controller is configured to determine the pose of the dump body, determine the pose of the clean out implement, determine a path of the clean out implement to remove carryback material from the interior surface of the dump body based upon a map of the carryback material, the pose of the dump body, and the pose of the clean out implement, and generate movement command signals to move the clean out implement along the path to perform a clean out operation on the interior surface of the dump body.
