Portable, Vehicle-Mounted Hand-Washing Station

National Fleet Products, a global source for aftermarket accessories for commercial vehicles, has introduced its new portable and vehicle-mounted hand-washing stations. The product design allows water and hand sanitizer to be dispensed anywhere, and application-specific hardware enables units to stand on their own or to be mounted to a variety of vehicles.

The President’s Coronavirus Guidelines for America lists hand-washing first under its guidelines for practicing good hygiene. However, until now, it has been difficult for vehicle operators, work crews and others functioning in isolated conditions to observe what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calls “one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.”

The black or translucent white water-dispensing tanks come in 6.5 gallon and 10 gallon sizes and are made of durable virgin polypropylene with an additive that makes them resistant to UV rays. An integrated removable soap dispenser serves as the cap to the filling port, and a separate cap is available.

Spring-toggle water spigots are easy to operate, and because they automatically stop water flow when no longer depressed, they eliminate re-contamination because there is no need to touch them again once hands are clean. The spigots are recessed and side mounted to protect them from damage.

Portable units are available with powder-coated steel frame stands that can be outfitted with additional accessories such as paper towel dispensers, graphic signage and more. Vehicle-mounted units are available with frame- and body-mounting hardware that is compatible with trucks including heavy-, medium- and light-duty pickups, work trucks, box vans, ag and construction equipment, trailers and more.

The vehicle-mounted hygiene station enables drivers and crews to sanitize their hands before reentering the vehicle. The system also allows workers and others to avoid unnecessary exposure to hand-washing fixtures in public restrooms, often recognized as key vectors for disease exposure and transmission.
