Discussion:
Scrubbers/sweepers?

I know this is a bit off the beaten path but I find myself in the market for a new, larger floor sweeper/scrubber. I always told my customers I can fix anything they have from conveyors to forklifts....except scrubbers so my knowledge of the brands and good points/bad points is limited. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance. BTW, this will be used in a VERY large industrial supply warehouse.

Ain't nothing I can't fix but a broken heart and the break of day!

American Lincoln OR Nilfisk are both worth a look, both companies make pretty decent machines.

We have a few sit on Lincoln machines on site, dont really get much bother with them, it does help if the operators are made to empty / clean them out after use / end of shift.

Depending on actual use it's just normally change filters / squeegee's & brushes for us, only really see the Lincoln engineer when there due a service.

Also have a couple of smaller walk along Nilfisk machines, never seen them in the workshop as they dont seem to ever go wrong.

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
