About Road Cleaning / Washer Trucks
Road cleaning washer trucks (GQX series) are dedicated high-pressure pavement cleaning vehicles. Unlike combined sweeper-scrubbers, they are optimized for water delivery and pressure washing — delivering a powerful jet to strip oil spills, rubber marks, mud, construction residue and lane-paint ghosts from asphalt and concrete surfaces. The range spans compact 6-ton electric units for urban streets, 12-ton and 18-ton electric washers for municipal fleets, up to heavy 25-ton diesel and electric washers for highways, ports and industrial yards. BEV models operate quietly and emissions-free, making them ideal for night cleaning in residential areas and tunnels. Diesel GQX20D6 models provide long-range endurance for inter-city and provincial road maintenance. Buyers should match water tank capacity and pump pressure to the specific contamination type and road width of their operating routes.

Why Choose Yutong Washer Trucks
A washer truck's job is to shift what a sweeper cannot: oil residue, rubber marks, embedded grime and surface film that mechanical brooms leave behind. It does this with a high-pressure pump and a wide spray bar that blasts the pavement, rather than sweeping it. The Yutong GQX series runs from 6-ton and 12-ton electric units (YTZ5060GQXD0BEV, YTZ5121GQXD0BEV) up to 18-ton and 25-ton machines (YTZ5180GQXT1D6, YTZ5250GQX20D6, YTZ5251GQXD0BEV) built for multi-lane arterial roads and airport aprons.
The spec that decides a washer is water tank size and pump pressure, not top speed. A 25-ton washer carries enough water to flush a long arterial route without a mid-shift refill; a 6-ton unit suits narrower streets and spot work. The high-pressure hand wand that comes with every truck lets the crew clean manhole surrounds, bus stops and marked stains that the spray bar cannot reach. Several units are pure-electric, which suits overnight city-centre washing where a diesel washer would draw noise complaints.
Unlike a sweeper-scrubber, a washer does not reclaim dirty water — it applies pressure and lets the waste wash to the gulley, which is why it is the right tool for deep-cleaning heavily soiled surfaces rather than daily dust pickup. Yutong controls build quality under ISO 9001 and pressure-tests the pump and spray bars before dispatch.
How to Choose the Right Washer Truck
Match tank size to route length and refill points
A 6–12-ton washer covers neighbourhood loops where a refill point is close. Move to an 18–25-ton unit (YTZ5180GQXT1D6, YTZ5250GQX20D6, YTZ5251GQXD0BEV) for long arterial routes and airport aprons where a single large tank avoids two return trips to refill. Size the tank so one fill covers a full shift loop.
Match pump pressure to the soil you are removing
Light grime and dust need a lower-pressure wide wash; oil and tyre rubber marks on airport aprons and toll plazas need higher-pressure jets. Confirm the pump rating against the expected soil type. A lower-pressure pump on oily pavement will waste water and time.
Choose electric or diesel for the work window
Choose electric washer units (YTZ5060GQXD0BEV, YTZ5121GQXD0BEV, YTZ5251GQXD0BEV) for overnight city-centre work where noise and emissions are restricted. Keep diesel washers (YTZ5180GQXT1D6, YTZ5250GQX20D6) for long suburban and highway cycles with no depot charger.
Common Applications
Arterial road deep-clean and flushing
Multi-lane avenues where oil and tyre film build through the week. Recommended: 18–25-ton washers (YTZ5180GQXT1D6, YTZ5250GQX20D6) with wide spray bars and large tanks.
Airport apron and runway-area cleaning
Apron pavement accumulates rubber and fuel residue. Recommended: 25-ton high-pressure washers run overnight between aircraft movements, where pump pressure and tank size decide performance.
Toll plaza and bus-stop spot cleaning
Small high-traffic areas with dropped tickets, rubber and oil. Recommended: a washer with the high-pressure hand wand for targeted stain work.
City centre overnight washing
Quiet, zero-emission pre-dawn cleaning. Recommended: electric washers (YTZ5121GQXD0BEV, YTZ5251GQXD0BEV) that flush the avenue before traffic starts.
Summer dust and post-event cleanup
Seasonal dust or festival residue on paved areas. Recommended: washers on routes with good gulley drainage, where flushed waste can run off safely.
Export Compliance & After-Sales Support
Washer trucks are exported to the destination market's rules: electric units ship with battery and charging documentation localized to the buyer's grid, and diesel variants calibrate to Euro II or Euro V. Each order goes out with factory certificate of conformity, packing list, commercial invoice and certificate of origin, plus pump and spray-bar pressure test reports for the municipal file.
Vehicles carry a 12-month or 20,000 km warranty, backed by ISO 9001 quality controls. Wear items — pump seals, spray nozzles, hose reels and hand-wand valves — are supplied as spare-parts kits, and the export engineering team responds within 48 hours. Send your route length and the soil you are removing to market@yutonggroup.com for a washer quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a washer truck and a sweeper?
A sweeper picks up loose dry debris with brooms and suction. A washer truck uses a high-pressure pump and spray bar to blast oil, rubber marks and embedded grime off the surface. For dry litter use a sweeper; for deeply soiled pavement use a washer.
Do washer trucks reclaim the dirty water?
No. A washer applies pressure and lets the waste wash to the gulley, which is why it deep-cleans heavily soiled surfaces. A sweeper-scrubber reclaims dirty water for daily cleaning; choose that where you want the water recycled on routine work.
How do I choose between a 6-ton and 25-ton washer?
Match the tank to route length and refill points. A 6–12-ton washer covers neighbourhood loops with nearby refills; an 18–25-ton unit (YTZ5180GQXT1D6, YTZ5250GQX20D6, YTZ5251GQXD0BEV) covers long arterial routes and airport aprons on one tank.
How do I remove oil and rubber marks?
You need a washer with sufficient pump pressure and the high-pressure hand wand for spot work. A low-pressure pump on oily or rubber-marked pavement will not shift the film, so confirm the pump rating against the soil type before ordering.
Can washers run overnight in the city centre?
Yes. The electric washer units (YTZ5060GQXD0BEV, YTZ5121GQXD0BEV, YTZ5251GQXD0BEV) run with low noise and zero local emission, which is why they suit pre-dawn city-centre washing where a diesel washer would draw complaints.
What chassis and right-hand-drive options exist?
Washer superstructures mount on mainstream chassis such as Dongfeng, Sinotruk (Howo), Foton and JAC. Right-hand-drive variants are available for the UK, Australia, Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, with conversion documentation in the export file.
What is the warranty and spare-parts support?
The standard warranty is 12 months or 20,000 km. Wear items such as pump seals, spray nozzles, hose reels and hand-wand valves are supplied as kits, and technical queries are answered within 48 hours.
