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 new wide-area walk behind cordless sweeper named the S8.
Keeping indoors and out-door floors clean at the best of times is a dirty business, especially in high traffic areas for example shopping centers. How many times do you visit your local mall with the cleaning crew sweeping and mopping only with customers trampling over the floors again while they are still cleaning it?
Well, those days could soon be over with the introduction of the S8 walk behind sweeper in the South African market place. The Tennant S8 is a highly efficient battery powered sweeper with a sweeping path of 50cm to 67cm. The three-wheel turning system and easy controls are user-friendly for low operator fatigue. The front side brush and the 51cm main brush, sweeps up to nearly 35L of litter and debris into its large hopper. The hopper pops out easily for quick emptying. This model comes standard with an on-board charger. A 12V battery provides cordless operation up to four hours. Remarkably quiet for noise-sensitive environments.
Efficient sweeping is ensured by the combined direct and overthrow sweeping system. The S8 sweeper comes with roto-moulded covers, providing it with a robust construction and makes the sweeper resistant against strong impact. A side brush allows sweepers to sweep edges and hard-to-reach areas.
The large removable debris hopper ensures increased productivity as it extends the sweeping cycles - i.e. sweeping staff do not have to empty the hopper as frequently as with other sweepers. The S8 sweeper is also equipped with a high efficiency intake impeller, ensuring optimal dust control and high filtration performance.
The on-board charger allows for flexibility and ease of operation as the sweeper could be charged at any time and any place. The mere fact that the sweeper is battery powered saves electricity and with a noise level of 65 dBa, allows for use in noise-sensitive areas such as offices and hospitals.
"We are very excited about the launch of the S8 sweeper in South Africa" - says Ricky Bodmer, Director at Tennant South Africa. "Our market research indicated a need for a quiet, cordless wide-area sweeper for use at gas stations, parking areas, small warehouses and retail facilities. The S8 sweeper is ideal for these applications as it is suitable for sweeping from hard floors to carpets. With a noise level of 65dBa, we foresee quite a future for these popular sweepers in South Africa."
