Salt & Bearing uses an initial engagement process to determine which equipment deployment pathway is a good match for each fleet’s workflow.

The goal is to ensure that any deployment fits naturally into existing operations and can be sustained over time.

Every partnership begins with a short 10–12 minute Fleet Needs Call, where we review:

  • fleet size & turnover
  • current cleaning workflow
  • staff availability
  • seasonality
  • equipment requirements
  • operational goals

From there, fleets are matched into one of our deployment pathways:

Path A
Scheduled Wash Days (Mobile service)

Salt & Bearing brings machine-enabled fleet cleaning to your location on scheduled, regular recurring days.

Your staff operates the equipment. We manage delivery and setup, training, performance checks, and upkeep.

Ideal for:
Rental fleets · Tour operators · MTB parks · Seasonal operations

Path B
Equipment as a Service (EaaS)(On-site access without upfront equipment ownership)

We place commercial-grade cleaning equipment on-site for daily use.

Your team operates the system. Salt & Bearing owns and manages the equipment, including installation, training, consumables, maintenance, and ongoing support.

Ideal for:
High-volume fleets · Resorts · Universities · Corporate or municipal fleets

Path C
Permanent Machine Install & Purchase Exploration

For operators seeking long-term automation.

Includes installation planning and financing coordination, operator training, consumables management, and ongoing service support.

Ideal for:
Established fleets · Dedicated service facilities · Long-term, year-round operations

Why Automated Cleaning?

circular-system-bike-clean-1
  • Fewer surprise cleanups — cleaning is easier to plan around
  • Faster turnaround between uses — bikes get back into rotation without long manual cleanups
  • Less end-of-day catch-up — fewer rushed cleanups and late finishes
  • More predictable cleaning — less variation from shift to shift or person to person
  • Bikes that are ready to ride — clean enough for guests without overdoing it
  • Compatible with repair-first practices — cleaning supports maintenance work
