Readymix truck requires regular cleaning. Readymix trucks face a similar problem of clean - up. Most trucks carry a small portable water source and standard garden hose to wash down the chute after delivering a load of concrete. However, when the trucks are returned to the yard at the end of the day, a thorough cleaning of the entire truck must be done. Cement inside the drum must be removed to prevent build-up and potential malfunction of the equipment. The entire exterior of the truck must be blasted clean also. Each time the truck is loaded with concrete, a certain amount of spillage occurs. By the end of the day, after several hauls, the sun and weather have asked the concrete onto the truck and removal becomes increasingly difficult.
