Aggregate Equipment Guide

J&J Truck Equipment, a division of Somerset Welding & Steel has been appointed the first authorized distributor and service center of Vehicle & Equipment Washers Inc. (VEWI). VEWI systems provide quality and cost-effective portable and permanent debris control solutions for industrial, commercial, government and military vehicles. The systems clean tires and vehicles quickly while controlling and containing debris on-site. The wash systems can be customized to fulfill the needs of a broad variety of industries.

Federal, state and local environmental regulations are getting more stringent. As drilling and mining sites spur economic growth in local communities, they also increase industrial traffic. The need for employing the most effective wheel-washing and dust control products available has become crucial.

To answer this need, VEWI provides complete, self-contained wash systems that offer versatility and provide environmental containment solutions by recycling and filtering water, making debris removal quick, easy, and safe, according to the manufacturer.

The use of non-potable water minimizes water usage and eliminates the use of other cleaning equipment.

J&J Truck Equipment has a fully functional VEWI TW-2000 system set up at its facility in Somerset and interested customers can make appointments to see the VEWI system in action.

J&J Truck Equipment is a distributor of several manufacturers of field service crane bodies, air and hydraulic operated lubrication trucks, hydraulic systems, mechanic bodies, flat beds and snow removal equipment. In addition, the company has a full service and repair department that provides custom welding and fabrication, dump and trailer body repair and painting, and a wide variety of other services. J&J Truck Equipment currently is updating its showroom located in the former Lincoln Supply building.
