Unleash the power


The advantages of cordless battery- powered cleaning machines are persuasive, says Simon Constantine, UK Sales Manager of Truvox International.


Technical advances are making a big difference to floorcare, with the latest generation of floorcare machines being a world apart from their old and familiar predecessors, in terms of safety, efficiency, manoeuvrability, sustainability and quietness.


A notable example is the transformation of the traditional upright vacuum to cordless machines, powered by battery technology. Cordless machines are ideal for quiet and unobtrusive cleaning, without the hassle and risk of a trailing cable, making daytime vacuuming around visitors and employees seamless and safer.


Cleaning operatives appreciate the freedom of working without the stop-start of plugging and unplugging and finding the nearest wall socket. Light and highly manoeuvrable machines are a popular option, as this makes transporting the machine between cleaning jobs or to different parts of a building easy.


Discover your Tru-Hero


The commercial cleaning sector’s first cordless upright vacuum, the Valet Battery Upright II, boasts a removable battery, allowing the operator to quickly double its running time of more than 50 minutes. Light yet powerful, this cordless vacuum weighs just 5kg, meaning the VBUII can easily be carried from one vacuuming task to the next, whilst being a robust machine designed to produce excellent cleaning results.


Operators find the machine easy to use, due to the comfortable hand grip. A battery level indicator ensures users know when their machine will need recharging – or a quick battery swap.


Another good option is a model that can wash, mop, scrub and dry hard and soft floor coverings in a single pass, like the multi-purpose scrubber dryers in our Multiwash range. The cordless Multiwash 340/Pump Battery is renowned for its versatility, leaving both hard and soft floors clean and ready to walk on in minutes. With a cleaning width of 34cm, this scrubber dryer can tackle large areas on a single charge, which powers up to 50 minutes’ continuous operation. It’s quiet and simple to operate and manoeuvre around obstacles.


With its counter-rotating cylindrical brushes, it effortlessly sustains the pressure required to clean thoroughly in the grout lines of tiled floors and other crevices. Economical in their use of water and solution, all Multiwash models clean effectively on a wide variety of floors – from vinyl and laminates to marble.


6 | FEATURE Even more portable power


Joining the battery range of equipment is our newly available Valet Battery Backpack. Lightweight for operator comfort, every detail of the vacuum backpack machine has been designed with ease of use and productivity in mind.


An ergonomic back support and harness position the unit away from the operator’s body and comfortably supports the machine on the hips. The Deuter Aircomfort harness was designed specifically for these backpacks; quickly adjustable to fit the user’s torso, the harness is proven to reduce perspiration.


All the tools needed are conveniently stored on the harness’s unique belt, leaving the operative’s hands free for the task being performed. Productivity is further enhanced by the telescopic wand and easy-glide floor tool for effortless vacuuming.


The Backpack can be used in a wide variety of places and is ideal for confined areas where electrical power points may not be easily accessible. This includes train carriages, stairwells, school corridors, offices and hotels, and seating areas in theatres and cinemas.


The machine has a run-time of 55 minutes, with a charge time of two and a half hours. Its quick change battery system means you can have another battery on charge and easily swap them during longer shifts. The machine has dust bags for clean and tidy emptying, with a 5L capacity.
