Johannesburg, South Africa - Sorma S.A.(Pty) Ltd. t/a TENNANT S.A., Southern African distributor of the Tennant cleaning equipment range announced the launch of a S12 ride-on sweeper this week. The S12 ride-on sweeper is a larger version of the S8 walk behind sweeper and ideal for larger retail facilities.
The Tennant S12 is a very compact battery-driven ride-on sweeper with a sweeping path of 90cm. Due to its high maneuverability and the retractable side brushes it can easily reach tight corners. The hopper pops out easily for quick emptying, brushes can be changed without tools and filter cleaning is a snap. The S12 also offers low effort steering which decrease operator fatigue. The front side brush and the 70cm main brush sweep up 85L of litter and debris into its hopper. A standard dust flap picks up bulky debris.
The S12 sweeper works on an overthrow sweeping system ensuring good performance even with worn brushes. The S12 will sweep hard floors, soft floors indoors and outdoors, increasing sweeping time and productivity.
The glide-out hopper with large built-in wheels ensures easy transport of debris. The standard right hand side-brush (left-hand brush optional), increase cleaning reach as well as productivity.
A robust construction is required as this ride-on sweeper is suitable for indoors and outdoors use. As a result, Tennant ensured its robustness by equipping it with roto-moulded covers, which enables the machine to resist strong impact.
No tools are required to change filters and brushes, ensuring ease of operation and sweeper maintenance.
"Tennant South Africa is moving away from just supplying cleaning equipment and detergents. We are now focusing on supplying clients with complete cleaning solutions to be known as Cleaning kits " Says Ricky, Bodmer Director at Tennant SA.
"The S12 ride-on sweeper fills the gap that existed in the market place for retail-type applications. Being the S8's big brother, it cleans similar surfaces for example parking areas, warehouses, distribution facilities and petrol stations but allows for the operator to be seated while sweeping versus walking behind the sweeper - in the process increasing productivity and efficiency. The S12 ride on sweeper could also be used in combination with any of the other Tennant range scrubbers (for example the T7 scrubber), allowing for a complete cleaning solution rather than just sweeping solution."
