You can clean outdoor areas such as sidewalks, parking lots or any concrete surface in a number of ways. The most common way to clean one of these services is to use a push broom. The downside to using a push broom is that cleaning with the system can be time-consuming and tedious. A faster and better way to clean large surfaces is to use an automatic sweeper. There are many types of sweepers. These types are mechanical floor sweepers and battery powered sweepers. Mechanical Floor Sweeper Machine rely on gears and belts to drive brushes, which in turn sweep the floor. These types of devices can be slow and bulky and are used to clean smaller areas. For larger areas, the recommended sweeper is a ride-on battery powered unit.Ride-on sweepers consist of four main components. These components are the drive mechanism, brush system, recovery system and user controls. This power supply powers all components on the sweeper. The drive mechanism pushes the unit forward and reverse and is powered by a 1.6 hp electric motor. The drive wheels are located at the front of the unit, making it easy to steer and control. The brush system is located on the bottom of the machine and uses a side broom and a 24" rotating brush to drive debris and dirt into the hopper collection system. The hopper system can be easily emptied from either side of the machine by opening two very accessible compartments. radius 360 is easy to use and operate. Just like a car, the operator uses the steering wheel to steer the sweeper. The foot control pedal under the right foot is used to accelerate the device to 2 mph. This pedal is also used to control whether the machine runs forward or reverse. As debris and dirt are emptied into the hopper, smaller particles are filtered out, making this machine ideal for indoor use. Other sweepers without filtration systems can spray dust into the air, making it difficult to breathe. The seat on the radius 360 is ergonomically designed to reduce worker fatigue, allowing users to clean more areas without interruption. A simple dial on the user control panel controls how fast the sweeper moves. An easy-to-find and clearly labeled kill switch has been added to the user control panel. This is an excellent safety feature that can easily cut power to the device in an emergency.
