Coin boxes are a crucial component for every self service car wash
bay. This is how the customer makes their payment and selects which
function they wish to use. This issue we’re going to discuss some of
the different options currently available when selecting coin boxes for
your car wash.
The most fundamental component is the box
itself. Coin boxes come in two basic styles: vault-ready and
coin-drawer. Coin-drawer style boxes have a drawer in the box itself to
hold the coins. The security of this type of box varies depending on
what type of locking mechanism and locks are used, but most coin drawers
can be made more theft-proof with the addition of optional lock bars
that allow you to add a padlock in addition to the inherent locks on the
coin drawer.
