Some installations do have the equipment room, others don't. My guess is that the equipment room is often if not always used in places where freezing temperatures occur regularly, so it can be heated to prevent freeze damage to pumps, tanks and chemicals. This is in South Florida, where the most we get is a one night cold snap that reaches 30 degrees F.
Oh, it always does that, even if you pull out the moment the wash shuts down. It pretty much just keeps feeping until the virtual treadle can reset (bay completely empty). This always makes me wonder why the Laserwash 4000 has to have the virtual treadle mounted offboard. It has ultrasonics on the T-shaped bars hanging down on both sides which can perform the same exact function! Silly PDQ.
Brilliant design there..?! Laserwash machines do not have particularly smart door controls. I've never run into this because it never gets cold enough here to require bay doors or heated bays.
At best, it'd be able to detect that and continue normally. At worst, the L-arm would hit your vehicle. This is why it's usually covered in a thick foam rubber 'pool noodle'. The machine is able to detect a jammed or struck L-arm, so it can stop, measure again, and retry. I think if all else fails, it just falls back to assuming the vehicle size is the maximum bay dimension, kind of like the Ryko US2001 Overhead Epic Fail I took a video of.
my g5s sucks in the winter no one is in there the doors open themselfs it is snowing outside and when someone dose in there the wash sits and dose nothin the dryers starts some times it stops on pre soak and you have to leve and I cant wait til it is ded and som
@ccrimsonfox Mobil. Also, that is one derpy design if it requires a service call! Can the reset be done with the IR remote, or was that a feature specific to just the old Laserwash 4000? If it can be done from the IR remote, ask the tech nicely if you can learn the codes from it into a Logitech Harmony or similar "learning" remote :) Of course, the best thing would have been for the design to have a home position sensor so it can self-reset...

Yes, that's why they all have doors! If they didn't have doors, the equipment would be damaged due to freezing.
Did a good job

Those external equpment rooms you mention are almost always in uk carwashes. suprised american doesn't do the same.
the laserwash has little sencers to know when your car has left the wash so the door will not close on you car
