SWEEPERS ENSURE A CLEAN TAKE-OFF
October 1st 2005

Road sweepers from Nilfisk-Advance are helping to keep runways clean and safe at BAE Systems’ sites at Samlesbury and Warton.

Support services company, Sodexho, invested in an RS 500 and an RS 850 from Nilfisk’s new road sweeper range to ensure fast and efficient cleaning.

The RS 500 has a 500L hopper and weighs 1500kg, making it easy to transport. Its powerful 34HP diesel engine provides strong suction for picking up bottles, stones and other debris.

The RS 850 has an 850L hopper, low noise level and can climb 18% slopes and 17cm kerbs.

An RS 1300 is also available. This has 1300L hopper. An optional third brush and a snow roller brush and salt spreader are available for the RS 850 and RS 1300. A high pressure cleaning accessory can be supplied.
