WALK BEHIND SWEEPERS

What is a walk behind floor sweeper?

Walk behind sweepers, also known as manual or pedestrian sweepers, are a category of floor sweeping machines, known for being exceptionally agile and easy to handle. Operated by a user, who is on foot behind the unit, hence the name walk behind. The operator uses the handle to control the functions of the machine and guide the forward movement (with traction or manual).

The minimal overall size and weight of these walk behind floor sweepers means that anybody can manage the machine both safely and without effort. The forward speed is never faster than a person’s average walking speed: for a completely mechanical sweeper this is determined by how quickly the operator pushes, whereas for an automatic sweeper, speed is controlled via a drive lever.

Agility and manageability make pedestrian sweepers the best choice for efficient sweeping in small and medium size areas or highly crowded spaces.
