The system is prepared for future water recycling.
For years, our trucks, trailers, cars, and all equipment have been washed on Saturdays using a brush, bucket, and high-pressure cleaner. That's how we started, and it worked well, but as with everything in our policy, we aim to professionalize and increase efficiency wherever possible.
We began by setting up the workshop, and earlier this year, construction started on a fully automated wash facility.
We are now proud of the result, and we are excited to showcase it with a time-lapse of its realization. The building has been fully modernized and constructed to be as energy-efficient as possible, equipped with a heat pump, solar panels, and the fully automated washing system.
The system is prepared for future water recycling.
A major advantage is that the washing frequency of the vehicles has become much more flexible. We can now wash the trucks during the week. With the adjusted frequency, it’s also easier to keep the trucks clean.
In our old wash bay, the trucks had to reverse inside. The new wash facility works like a car wash; the trucks drive straight through it. This is another safety advantage!
Most of the manual labour has been eliminated. The cleaning process is now fully automated.
And before you know it, it’s December again…
Another year has flown by, and we’ve accomplished so much together.
A perfect moment to look back on the past year with the management team.
2024 is a special year for our companies: Jan van Dam Machine Transport celebrates its 35th anniversary, while Jan van Dam Global Machine Logistics marks 15 years of operation. Together, we represent over 120 years of experience in the transport sector, with more than 35 years of specialized focus on machine transport. This milestone is a perfect opportunity to reflect on what we have built and to look ahead to the future.
Our strength lies in calmness, trust, and innovation. With a dedicated team, a wealth of knowledge, and the mindset that "impossible" doesn’t exist, we continue to provide tailored solutions every day. Whether it’s machine transport, storage, installation, or industrial relocations, we are ready with expertise and customized service.
A few years ago, we had the unique opportunity to purchase a commercial building on the industrial estate in Oudewater, which had previously been used as a truck garage. This gave us the idea to relocate and professionalize our workshop and semi-wash facility.
