The invention relates to a
rollover wash unit for a vehicle wash
system, comprising a
traverse (9) and two lateral parts (2, 8) which are permanently connected to the
traverse (9) once the
rollover wash unit is mounted. The invention also relates to a method for mounting said
rollover wash unit. The aim of the invention is to allows an efficient and space-saving transport and tan efficient, simple and fast mounting of the rollover wash unit in situ. For this purpose, the
traverse (9) and the lateral parts (2, 8) are rotatably interconnected via at least one articulated connection (11, 12) for mounting the rollover wash unit, said connection having a
rotational axis that extends substantially perpendicular to the lateral parts (2, 8) and along the traverse (9). The method according to the invention comprises the following steps: positioning the lateral parts (2, 8) and the traverse (9) in a mounting position in relation to each other (FIGS. 1 to 4), establishing at least one articulated connection (11, 12) between the traverse (9) and the lateral parts (2, 8) so that the lateral parts (2, 8) can be rotated in relation to the traverse (9), displacing the traverse (9) from the mounting position (FIGS. 1 to 4) to a final position (FIG. 7), the lateral parts (2, 8) being displaced from the mounting position (FIGS. 1 to 4) to the final position (FIG. 7) about a rotation axis of the articulated connection which axis extends substantially perpendicular to the lateral parts (2, 8) and along the traverse (8), permanently connecting the traverse (9) to the lateral parts (2, 8) so that no rotation of the lateral parts (2, 8) in relation to the traverse (9) is possible.
