    Looking for a company to crate a pallet

    I use use u-ship for a lot of car wash equipment. Dryers, etc. When I can justify a full tractor trailer load I usually send a local guy so I know the equipment is taken care of.

    Lets see your automatics

    I bought a paystation off the x-stream guy a couple years ago. He seemed like a good guy. I noticed a “blast off” booth at the show but didn’t get a chance to talk to the guys. Appeared to be a IBA system. Wasn’t sure if they had rebranded xtreem or they have something totally different.

    Friction IBA guys. Same shutdown issue

    We had similar issues with overloads tripping on our freestylers. Manually needed to be reset. I replaced them all with self healing overloads. Now overload trips, machine faults out, then in 30 seconds or so overload resets itself. Then once machine sends me a fault email I login and reset...

    Everwash

    Chris and Nick are always on top of it! They have helped get our everwash tech problems resolved when they do arise and always go the extra mile unlike most people.

    Vector 2004 fault on pre-soak but no shutdown

    I have seen our sabers and kondors also do this. Never really has been an issue. Wash starts back almost immediately. Something in belangers programming. I also suspect it’s sonar related.

    Dollar coin shortage?

    It took Vanbrook close to 5 months to fufill my order in 2021. We were so low on tokens some hoppers had to be converted to dollar coins and we had to go to sorting coins, from 1 to 3 times per week. It was a bad time. I miss Dottie, I feel she would have been better with communication...

    IBA Paystation Options

    I’m with you. We have 10 IBA’s. I ripped out 2 American Changer ac8001 last year because of continued lack of support. Now we have 5 Standard Change Makers GXP’s, 4 ACW 5’s, and one HTK. We have far more problems with the HTK than any of the older paystations. I plan to replace it with a...

    Cryptotap issues Hamilton ACW 4/5

    We had the same problem with a standard paystation using an mdb reader. Finally pat with cryptopay had to down grade the software of the reader I think. It was giving free washes when using tap. They weren’t able to charge all the customers that received the free washes either. Ask for pat at...

    Washgear still in business?

    Has anyone been able to reach Washgear in the last couple weeks? Their website says down for maintenance and no one has returned voicemails or answered the phone recently. We need stop buttons and a board returned that was sent in for repair many months ago. Jason has always been great but maybe...

    Cryptopay Tap Issues

    Has anyone had issues with cryptopay tap not posting transactions on a paystation with mdb reader? We just added tap on two of our standard change makers GXP’s. No tap transactions show on cryptopay portal. Cryptopay can see them in log and said something about the transactions had the wrong...

    Advice needed: hp pump trips breaker

    About 15 years ago we had a lose wire on a mark 7 machine with a cat 3535. The issues kept tripping breaker and melted the buss bar in the panel box until it was finally found in a junction box somewhere. After panel replacement electrician wired dryers backwards and they sucked instead of blew...

    Cryptopay upgrade for Hamilton ACW 4/5

    Pat, are the names at carpool custom? If so they work on an acw 5 with crytopay. I kept Washgear for swipe and used crytopay for tap only and just left the swiper on the inside of the cabinet.

    American Changer 8001 programming

    My recommendation is to replace them all with something else ASAP. We purchased a wash and spent about $5000 between the 2 AC8001’s to upgrade them. That got us taking cards again but we kept having unexplained issues and later pulled them out and replaced. If you are interested in the new...

    Cube

    I felt the same as you until I went through one a while back. The brushes were extremely stiff and hard on my truck. They also made a terrible squeaking noise. Maybe the unit wasn’t setup properly? Idk I’ll be sticking with our freestylers for now.

    Differences Between Razor Models and Kondor

    The kondor is at least 2 min faster than the newly installed razor down the street from my wash. The machine has fewer moving parts than the razor. A butterfly gearbox is going to need replaced about every 5 years. Other than that your not looking at any regular repairs other than hoses...

    Hamilton Mobile App

    It sounds like it may be a while until Hamilton gets screens. I was wanting to upgrade an htk to a touchscreen but after finding of the cost and screen shortage I decided to hold off. You ought to buy an acw 5 for nearly nothing, put cryptopay on it, mount on a pedestal temporarily beside htk...
