NASHVILLE — ISTOBAL USA will exhibit at The Car Wash Show™ in Nashville, Tennessee, with the new FLEX5 Extended Heightrollover and the Express On Rails, its state-of-the-art equipment that cost effectively cleans a broad spectrum of vehicles without major investments to boost carwash profitability.
From May 9-11 at the Music City Center, ISTOBAL USA will present the new FLEX5 Extended Height rollover at booth #2415.
This machine was designed to maximize a facility’s wash range and to offer an automatic wash for vehicles too large for standard in-bay automatic equipment.
The FLEX5 Extended Height rollover presents the same attributes as the standard FLEX5 in-bay automatic — great versatility, flexibility, high washing speeds, chemical efficiency and water savings.
With a wash height of nine-and-a-half feet, the FLEX5 Extended Height rollover can wash both standard height and taller vehicles, including high-roof cargo vans, raised trucks and ambulances. The ability to provide an automatic wash to a wider range of vehicles drastically increases a carwash facilities’ potential market.
Just like the standard ISTOBAL FLEX5, the Extended Height machine can also use three or five brushes and can be configured as a hybrid model (by adding high pressure to the machine), as a combo option (allowing customers to choose the wash they want: friction with three or five brushes, touch free or a combination of both) and as a touchless rollover.
ISTOBAL USA had an excellent first quarter in 2022 with revenue surpassing Q1 of 2021 thanks to rising interest in the Extended Height machine and other developments, such as Express On Rails (EOR) system.
ISTOBAL’s North American Director of Sales Ian Burton stated, “We have also experienced a dramatic increase in interest in the Extended Height machine after its premiere at The Car Wash Show™ in November 2021. People are beginning to see the benefit of having the ability to wash a larger range of vehicles.”
During The Car Wash Show 2022, ISTOBAL USA will also present an innovative carwash solution that boosts revenue with minimal investment — the Express On Rails.
Aimed at carwash facilities, convenience stores and other facilities looking to boost sales with a smart investment, the EOR increases the throughput of an in-bay automatic by one-and-a-half times, combining the revenue enhancing features of a mini-tunnel with the reliability, efficiency and wash performance of all ISTOBAL in-bay automatics.
More economical to install than a mini tunnel and operates without requiring on-site labor, the EOR system can utilize any standard ISTOBAL rollover, such as the FLEX5 or even the FLEX5 Extended Height.
ISTOBAL USA recommends setting up the Express On Rails with the ISTOBAL FLEX5 rollover followed by free-standing ISTOBAL product arches that maximize traffic flow and enhance the wash experience, the ISTOBAL T’SHINER to add revenue and increase customer satisfaction, concluding with free standing dryers for unparalleled wash quality.
A control panel is also recommended, allowing operators to remotely monitor and manage their facilities’ operations.
