Cargo Bike Fleets: Cleaning Challenges and Automated Solutions

How cargo bike delivery fleets use automated washing to maintain brand image and reduce fleet costs. Frequently asked questions How large a cargo bike can the Pro wash? Up to 2.6m long × 1.1m wide × 2.0m high, which covers all major front-loaders (Urban Arrow Family, Larry vs Harry Bullitt, Riese & Müller Packster, Babboe Mini-Max) and most commercial delivery trikes. OASIS handles up to 3.2m for oversized quad-cycles. Can it wash bikes loaded with the cargo box still attached? Yes for front-loaders with detachable lids. We recommend lid-off washing for box interiors. For permanently affixed boxes, the wash is external-only — the box interior typically stays clean without daily rinsing. What's fleet-scale throughput? A dedicated Pro station handles 60-80 cargo-bike washes per day in continuous operation (with brief queue management). DHL's Berlin-Kreuzberg depot runs 120+ washes/day across two stations. Does it fit into warehouse workflows? Yes — we integrate with WMS/TMS systems via REST API. Riders scan their fleet ID at shift-end, SPIRIT logs the wash to the correct asset, maintenance ticketing fires automatically. This eliminates the 'who washed what' coordination overhead.
