Customer Overview

Rooney International Coach Hire, based in Hilltown, Newry, provides private coach hire, home to school transport services and scheduled routes throughout Northern Ireland. Operating a fleet of vehicles ranging from 29-seat to 61-seat coaches, the company requires reliable vehicle wash equipment to maintain a professional fleet appearance year-round.

Requirement

CB Services installed the site's Kube vehicle wash system over 12 years ago. Following years of reliable service, the existing machine had reached the end of its operational lifecycle and the customer was looking to invest in a modern wash solution that could deliver improved cleaning performance, with greater efficiency whilst still accomodating a wide range of vehicles.

Solution

CB Services installed the latest HW'Progress2 vehicle wash system, with the project completed on 5th June 2026.

Designed for larger vehicles, the HW'Progress2 cleans the front, rear, sides and roof of each vehicle. Advanced side brush technology provides improved wash coverage, while an intelligent mirror protection programme allows safe cleaning around larger coach mirrors. The installation also includes integrated frost protection for reliable operation throughout the year. In addition to enhanced cleaning performance, the system can reduce water consumption by up to 25% and energy usage by up to 6% compared to previous-generation models.
