Abstract

A portable tire washing apparatus is mounted on a towable trailer bed or on a platform and has drivable rollers for rotating truck tires while they are sprayed by jets of water. Additional roller assemblies or bumpers are provided to prevent sideway movement of the tires. The platform-mounted apparatus may be installed on level ground or in a depression dug in the ground.
