and Motul clean up at
Roof of Africa 2016:
If you were at the Motul Roof Of Africa, you would have
seen the huge bike wash set up at the start/finish area.
It was initiated by Motul and our friends from Goscor
power products. Goscor Power Products (GPP) is
a leading Southern African distributor of generators,
engines and pumps.
The products supplied by GPP consisted of seven
Lutian 206 bar pressure washers, regulated to 180 bar,
each with its own 300 litre water tank and a 400 cc
single-cylinder petrol engine, as well as a 30 metre hose
and lance, on a frame-mounted hose reel.
Additional equipment provided included a Lutian twoinch
water pump for water transfer, and three Lutian 6.5
kW generators to power the air pumps for the inflatable
tunnels and banners at the ‘start’ and ‘finish’ area. A
pneumatic 4 m light tower was also supplied in case of
any night work needed during the event.
“The washer-and-tank combination offered by Lutian is
ideally suited for applications where water and power
supply are limited, making it an ideal solution for the
Roof in Africa 2016 event, which is staged in rural and
mountainous terrain,” GPP Technical & Training Manager
Wayne Allen comments. Additional applications for
the Lutian high-pressure washers include mobile taxi
operations and car washes, for example.
A total of 600 bikes passed through the Motul/GPP Bike
wash during the three-day event, with 100 pump and
engine stop-starts daily, and not a single failure on any
of the equipment. “It offered exceptional reliability and
economy, even in the heat-wave conditions recorded
during the event,” Allen highlights.
Such was the performance of the Lutian high-pressure
washers that GPP dealer Kevcor – which covers
Bloemfontein, Kimberley, and Maseru in Lesotho –
was able to secure the sale of all the used equipment
immediately after the event, says Kevin Corrigan of Kevcor.
In addition to transporting all the GPP equipment from
Johannesburg to Maseru, Kevcor supplied two 5 000
litre tanks for water storage at the remote ‘start’ and
‘finish’ area. Kevcor stocks a full range of petrol, diesel,
electric, and domestic pressure washers at its three
branches. The range is also available at selected GPP
dealers countrywide, and in most SADC (Southern
African Development Community) countries.
The off-road motorcycles were cleaned in two
dedicated wash bays at the Motul/GPP Bike Wash.
The express wash bay afforded riders the opportunity
to park their motorcycles, which were then subjected
to a quick wash by the cleaning team. Meanwhile, the
self-service lane allowed riders to have personal input
into the cleaning process if need be.
Covering over 425 km of the harshest terrain known to
man in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, the Roof of
