VACUUMS & SWEEPERS


SWEEPERS ASSEMBLE!


According to Nilfisk, having just one sweeper in your cleaning arsenal is not enough. They explain the importance of having a wide range of machines to hand at all times and walk us through a selection of the range of sweepers that they provide.


Contract cleaning and facilities management companies are often faced with the same dilemma – how best to clean a large facility with a myriad of different cleaning requirements coupled with time, labour and budget constraints?


The winter is understandably a difficult time of the year, as after Autumn, decaying leaves are everywhere. Demanding clients are unlikely to accept un-swept surfaces, not to mention the health and safety risk associated with wet leaves.


Having a range of sweepers on hand to cope with all eventualities is ideal but do all manufacturers have a full range and are they up to speed with the latest advancements in sweeper design?

faster than a traditional broom. Machines like the Nilfisk SM800 are very easy to transport in a car and are ideal for congested areas inside or out. The SM800 easily picks up paper, leaves and even small screws and bolts, so it is definitely a cleaning machine cupboard staple.


WALK-BEHIND SWEEPERS Walk-behind sweepers are also a staple and are available in battery powered or petrol options. The SW750 from Nilfisk-Advance is battery powered and is exceptionally quiet at only 59 dB(A).


An onboard charger saves time and the unit will run for up to two hours on a hard floor. A petrol version is well suited to outdoor sweeping, with the SW900 model having the advantage of a 1,050mm sweeping width with two side brooms.


RIDE-ON SWEEPERS Ride-on Sweepers provide for much increased productivity and are available with both manual and hydraulic dump systems.


Smaller models like the Nilfisk SR1000S can also clean carpeted areas using an optional carpet kit.


The SR1101 has the advantage of an onboard vacuum system, this is perfect when debris lurks in a corner or can be found above floor level. The operator can use the vacuum hose without stepping off the machine. The unit is compact and manoeuvrable with a 70 litre hopper providing for far less time spent emptying. Petrol and battery versions are available with the battery version providing a run time of up to six hours on one battery charge.


The SW4000 is an environmentally friendly ride-on sweeper available in
