Crossfire + / Beast
Touchless In-Bay Automatic Car Wash System
Bigger Vehicles. Greater Cleaning Power. Engineered for Maximum Performance.
When your customers drive larger vehicles, your in-bay automatic car wash system needs to deliver exceptional cleaning performance without compromising speed, reliability or wash quality. The Nexus Crossfire + and Nexus Crossfire Beast from 3B Industries are designed to do exactly that.
Built on the proven Crossfire platform, these advanced touchless systems expand your ability to wash taller and longer vehicles while maintaining the precision, reliability and patented cleaning technology that have made the Crossfire Family a leader in the industry.
Whether your customers drive delivery vans, motor homes, transit vehicles or standard passenger vehicles, the Nexus Crossfire + and Beast are engineered to clean them all with confidence. For operators looking to serve a broader customer base while maximizing revenue opportunities, these systems provide the ideal combination of flexibility, performance and long-term durability.
Built to Wash More Vehicles
The Nexus Crossfire + and Nexus Crossfire Beast feature an impressive bridge clearance of 10 feet 8 inches, allowing operators to welcome customers that many traditional in-bay automatic car wash systems simply cannot accommodate.
These models are designed to wash vehicles up to and including:
- Small-to-medium mass transit vehicles
- High-top delivery vans
- Small to medium-sized RVs
- Class B and C motor homes
Despite their larger size, these systems are equally capable of washing everyday passenger vehicles, pickup trucks, SUVs, cargo vans and work trucks. This versatility allows operators to expand their customer base without sacrificing the ability to serve traditional vehicle traffic.
By accommodating both standard and oversized vehicles, the Nexus Crossfire + and Beast help maximize bay utilization and increase earning potential.
More Cleaning Heads. More Complete Coverage.
Larger vehicles require greater cleaning coverage.
That’s why both the Nexus Crossfire + and Beast feature an upgraded cleaning array consisting of:
- 9 patented F5 orbital heads
- 4 pairs of Bug-a-Boos
- 2 F5 Unicorn heads
This expanded configuration provides additional cleaning power while maintaining the precision the Crossfire Family is known for.
Patented F5 Orbital Technology
The heart of every Crossfire system is our patented F5 orbital technology.
Unlike conventional inverted “L” wand designs, the orbital movement of the F5 heads delivers superior cleaning by reaching contours, body lines and recessed areas that traditional touchless systems often miss.
This innovative design provides exceptional cleaning around:
- Vehicle sides
- Roof transitions
- Mirrors
- Wheel openings
- Rocker panels
- Body contours
The result is a more complete wash with fewer missed areas.
Bug-a-Boo Technology
The Nexus Crossfire + and Beast feature four pairs of Bug-a-Boos, with two pairs positioned on each side of the machine.
These specialized cleaning heads are strategically angled to target difficult areas including:
- Front bumpers
- Rear bumpers
- Vehicle grilles
- License plate recesses
- Lower body panels
The additional Bug-a-Boos increase cleaning coverage, especially on taller and longer vehicles that require more targeted spray patterns.
Dual F5 Unicorn Heads
Unlike the standard Crossfire model, the Plus and Beast systems utilize two F5 Unicorn heads mounted above the vehicle.
- These heads are specifically designed to clean:
- Front windshields
- Roof surfaces
- Roof accessoriesHard-to-reach upper vehicle areas
The dual-head configuration improves cleaning performance across larger vehicles while ensuring complete top-side coverage.
