Portable Toilet Cleaning

Tom built a custom cleaning truck for portable toilets.  He started with a Ford F-550 with a flat bed.  It is a good truck for hauling large loads because it is sprung heavy in the back. 

Heber Richardson, owner of Honeywagon Sanitation, ordered in a slide in cleaning unit.  The cleaning unit comes self contained.  The one thing Tom had to add was a power wire.  Since Heber is not planning on running the unit for long lengths of time, not allowing for enough time for the battery to charge between uses, a power wire is needed from the truck to the cleaning unit to keep the battery charged.

The truck was designed with efficiency in mind.  Tanks, hoses, and cleaning buckets are planned so the operator can quickly clean out the portable toilet.  Most needed items are located on the drivers side of the truck.

Future plans include adding a third tank to the truck.  The tank will hold clean water.  The unit pictured above has two compartments.  One compartments is to hold the cleaner/water solution and is housed on the inside of the larger tank.  The perimeter of the larger tank holds the pumped refuse.  The clean water tanks will insure sparkling toilets and aide in general cleaning.

The tailgate is also an added bonus to this truck.  Two portable toilets can fit in the bed of the truck and two can ride on the tailgate.  There are hold down bars for the two units that fit on the truck.  The two that ride on the tailgate can be strapped down using one strap.
