Eureka’s Seven Floor Sweeping Devices
Here’s our look at the seven sweepers likely to transform your office, warehouse or forecourt.
1. Picobello 101
The Picobello 101 is Eureka’s entry level floor sweeping machine. More akin to a lawnmower in appearance, it is designed for corridors and smaller rooms. It is also useful on paved areas. Furthermore, it does the work of 10 brooms per clean.
- Capacity: 2.100 square metres per hour.
2. Picobello 151
As well as doing the work of 10 brooms, the Picobello 151 floor sweeping machine is more efficient than the Picobello 101. Whereas the 101 uses electric power, the 151 is truly cordless: it uses a vacuum system which negates the need for petrol, batteries or a mains supply. Though with the same capacity as its entry level sister, it is great for use where access to electricity, fuel or batteries is impossible.
- Capacity: 2.100 square metres per hour.
3. Kobra
If it’s performance you’re after, the Kobra floor sweeping machine is a good all-rounder for shopping centres, focal piazzas and transport depots. It is great for porcelain floors as well as concrete and is able to tackle the dirtiest of floors with ease. There is two versions: battery powered and petrol powered.
Capacities:
- Kobra SH (petrol): 3.510 square metres per hour;
- Kobra EB (battery): 3.510 square metres per hour.
4. Tigra
The Tigra floor sweeping machine is Eureka’s entry level ride-on machine. Available only in battery power, it is compact and includes an automatically adjustable brush. Its compact size allows for use indoors as well as outdoors.
- Capacity: 5.800 square metres per hour.
5. Rider 1201
The Rider 1201 sweeping machines are real powerhouses belying their compact size. Available for indoor and outdoor in petrol or battery forms, both sit-on devices support an on-board vacuum cleaner (available separately). As standard, both devices have shock absorption.
