Add equipment to a bay

Add equipment to a bay

Add one piece of equipment with its name, photo, and record details, or copy a whole bay you've already set up.

September 28, 2026

One new pay station, or a whole bay copied from the site down the road. Both start from Add Equipment on the bay you're adding to.

What you'll need

  • Available on the Bundle plan, or on a Custom plan that includes Inspections or Services.
  • Anyone at the location can add equipment. Copying a bay is for Admins and Super Admins.

Add one piece of equipment

To add an item:

  1. Select My Wash in the side menu, then the bay it belongs to.
  2. Select Add Equipment.
  3. Enter the Equipment Name, such as Top Brush #1 or Pay Station.
  4. Check that Wash Bay / Area points at the right place.
  5. Drag in a Photo, or select the box to browse for one.
  6. Select Show Additional Options to fill in the record fields.
  7. Select Save Equipment, or Save & Add Another to keep going.

Only the name and the bay are required. Everything else can wait until you know it.

Save & Add Another keeps the form open and shows a running count, which is the quick way to work down a list you're reading off the wall.

The record fields

FieldWhat it's for
Equipment TypeWhat kind of machine it is
ManufacturerWho makes it
ModelHelps your team identify the exact unit
Serial NumberUseful for warranty claims and vendor support
Install DateWhen it was installed

There's also Notes for quirks and reminders, and Files & Docs for manuals and warranties. Each file you attach needs a File & Doc Type.

Copy a bay you've already built

If the new bay matches one you've set up, copy it rather than retyping it.

To duplicate a bay:

  1. Select the caret beside Add Equipment, then Duplicate from Another Bay.
  2. Pick the location and the bay you're copying from.
  3. Choose what comes across and where it lands.

Unlike the setup wizard, this carries photos, details, and attached inspections with the equipment.

Good to know
  • A photo is the single most useful field to fill in. It's how anyone on shift tells two identical brushes apart.
  • Equipment Type is free text with suggestions, not a fixed list, so keep your wording consistent across bays.
  • Adding equipment isn't restricted to Admins. Anyone at the location can do it.

Common questions

Can I change it later?

Yes. Open the item, select Actions, then Edit Equipment. Every field including the bay can be changed.

Who can do this?

Anyone at the location. Only copying a bay from another site is limited to Admins and Super Admins.

Does this affect my other locations?

No. Equipment belongs to one bay at one location. Copying a bay is how you reuse a setup elsewhere.
