CustomKraft Industries Inc.
North Little Rock, Arkansas
CustomKraft has over 32 years of experience manufacturing self-service car wash equipment. The company offers all self-service car wash supplies — from initial plans to customizing new bay meters for established washes — to help build a profitable wash.
What’s New/Best Seller • MultiPressure System.
Advantages/Features • Equipment promotes customer satisfaction with 400 percent faster product delivery to car wash bays — all bay selections initiate at high-pressure, then change to owner pre-set pressure. Purges with rinse water after each selection to give longer pump life. Systems use one pump per bay that allows any selected function to be applied at high, medium, or low pressure. Units have enhanced operating reliability using one delivery line per boom and are pre-plumbed and pre-wired for simple and faster installation. The high efficiency systems save money using Super E motors, timing belt drives, and freeze protection on stainless steel frames.
Customer/Operator Support • Nationwide and global distribution. CustomKraft provides a two-year limited warranty, free training seminars, illustrated manuals on compact discs, and toll-free tech support.
