Floor Cleaning Application Spotlight: Excavation
Since 1994, our team of floor cleaning equipment experts has been helping the construction industry choose industrial floor sweepers and scrubbers that provide effective, powerful floor care machines that solve OSHA-compliance concerns and match their unique business needs. In this case study we explain how we worked with an excavation company to determine the best floor sweeper for their construction clean up applications as they tried to control dust while saving time on labor.
Customer Problem
This excavating company found that manual floor sweeping was ineffective and a short time later their floors were once again covered in dirt and sand. They needed a powerful floor sweeper that minimized hazardous dust, dirt and sand particles on the construction site and in the air to maintain a healthy, safe working environment for their employees. This client contacted FCE looking for a budget-friendly alternative to manual sweeping that was powerful enough to work on-site and could pick up debris left on the floors.
Our Solution
For businesses that work in particularly dirty or dusty environments, such as an excavating company, the debris kicked up by manually sweeping can find its way back onto the floors, product, or into the lungs of workers posing a health hazard. Dust control is one of the most important features of a quality industrial floor sweeper. In addition to time saving benefits, utilizing cleaning equipment in a setting like this can have signficant health and safety benefits.
The Factory Cleaning Equipment specialists recommended an industrial ride-on Tennant floor sweeper to quickly remove dirt and dust faster than a push broom while eliminating airborne dust and grit. This excavating company selected a rebuilt Tennant 6100 Rider Sweeper which enabled them to clean their floors faster and get the job done much more effectively. Purchasing rebuilt floor cleaning equipment is an economical choice since our trained, highly-skilled floor sweeper technicians restore used floor cleaning machines to like-new condition, and it is often better for the environment than purchasing new. Now, this excavating company is able to clean their floors faster and get the job done much more effectively thanks to adding an industrial floor sweeper to their cleaning regimen.
Highlights of the Tennant 6100
The Tennant 6100 is a compact industrial grade, self-propelled, rider sweeper that is ideal for dust control and sweeping small debris particles on any hard surface floor - it even works great on carpets. The Tennant 6100 can sweep at a rate of 35,600 sq. feet per hour when operated at the recommended speed of 3.0 MPH. This Tennant model’s small size plus ergonomic and safety features make this machine a breeze to operate at an excavation site and the optional vacuum wand provided optimal cleaning power in tight corners and hard to reach areas.
