Marketing - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Transport Company Brochure | | German term or phrase: LKW-Waschhalle | "Mit unserer eigenen Werkstatt, zwei ***LKW-Waschhallen*** und unserer eigenen Tankstelle setzen wir Maßstäbe. In regelmäßigen Intervallen werden die Fahrzeuge komplett durchgecheckt und auf Hochglanz gebracht. Für unsere Fahrer und Ihre Ladung heißt das: Sie sind sicher und schnellstmöglich wieder auf der Straße. Und sie können sich sehen lassen. Dass auch andere Transportunternehmen auf den Service unserer Werkstatt setzen, zeigt, wie gut unsere Meister mit Team ihre Arbeit machen."
From a transport company brochure. What exactly is an "LKW-Waschhalle"? Could I translate it as "truck wash" (i.e. like a car wash, only bigger to accomodate trucks) or is it something more substantial than that? TIA for your help. |

Indeed, a "truck wash" is what it is--tons of corroborating evidence on the Web, even (see links below). |

| Grading comment It does seem that "truck wash" (or in the UK, "lorry wash") is the most common term for this, although there were Googles for "truck wash station", "truck wash system" and "truck wash installation" as well. But just plain "truck wash" should do the trick nicely. So thanks and well done Erik. Thanks also and commiserations to Christine. And to the other Chris - you can always e-mail me the pic. :-) But I've got a translation I'm happy with anyway. Thanks for the info though.
