Key specifications
When sourcing a walk-behind sweeper for professional cleaning, here are three key specs to look for:
Direct-throw system
Ensure excellent sweeping performance with a direct-throw system, guaranteeing thorough cleaning without leaving any debris behind.
Long cleaning capacity
Go for a sweeper with a large hopper capacity. Look for hoppers that can be kept open for easy disposal of larger items or emptying garbage bins, enhancing efficiency.
Easy maneuverability
Choose a sweeper with large non-marking wheels for effortless pushing and steering, making it simple for the user to navigate around obstacles and tight spaces. Additionally, consider sweepers with adjustable handles to accommodate operators of different heights and ensure ergonomic comfort during use.
