Abstract
A vehicle-washing system for vehicles has high-pressure lateral spray devices with spray nozzles stationary in their height, which high-pressure lateral spray devices are arranged on both sides of a vehicle-washing position. An elevationally adjustable carrier is furthermore provided, on which carrier is arranged in particular a horizontal washing brush for cleaning the roof of a vehicle. With each lateral spray device is associated a further spray nozzle, which is connected to the first-mentioned spray nozzles through a flexible fluid pipeline. The further spray nozzles are provided on the carrier and are adjustable in their height following the upper contour of the vehicle to be washed. The vehicle-washing system of the invention achieves with few structural requirements a good cleaning result in the upper area of the sides of a vehicle, also for higher vehicles or for passenger vehicles with a sharply pulled-in area of the edge of the roof.
