Mechanical sweeping and choosing a sweeper
Choosing a sweeper:
FACTORS AFFECTING MACHINE SELECTION PROCESS:
> Effectively suits application to achieve required result. ( Coverage vs. recommended run time.)
> Reliable and cost effective.
> Purchase price + Life cycle running costs = Total purchase price. (Not purchase price alone.)
> Resale value.
> Supplier history and after sales support base.
> Machine population and references.
HOW TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS:
Request a comprehensive survey of the application in order to justify the cleaning equipment recommended. Request a demonstration to check that the physical ability of the sweeping equipment recommended offers the required result. If a short demonstration is not convincing enough request a suitable rental machine for a longer period to ensure your long term requirements can be achieved. Request a summary of costs as follows:
Purchase price: Rental / Depreciation / Lease. Consider interest rate, escalations & exchange rate.
Full maintenance plan: Check what is excluded and what costs relate to exclusions.
Consumable cost: Brushes , skirts , panel filters - quantities consumed per given period.
Fuel consumption where applicable.
Question: If the experienced sweeper supplier cannot offer the above information how can you as the customer budget effectively.
