A lifting kit allows the sweeper to be lifted with a crane or hoist, making it possible to clean any floor level when elevators or lifts aren’t available.
On a construction site it may be necessary to access different floor levels to carry out cleaning operations, and service elevators aren’t always available, or simply haven’t be installed yet.
Self-propelled floor cleaning machines are ideal for construction site maintenance, they are high performing, control dust, and reduce the time required to carry out effective cleaning. However, lifting a machine by hand to the top floors of multistorey buildings under construction is extremely difficult.
On the other hand, cleaning large areas equipped only with a dustpan and broom, is inefficient and dangerous to the health of the worker, especially in environments where there is a high concentration of dust.
In these cases, how is it possible to avoid cleaning with a dustpan and broom?
Eureka has two solutions:
- Picobello 151 manual walk behind sweeper
- Kobra walk behind sweeper, available in battery or petrol versions
These two machines can quickly clean all levels of a building, not just the first floor.
The Picobello is a manual sweeper which is compact and light, the handle can be folded down making it easy to transport up and down stairs by hand.
The Kobra is not as light, due to the fact that it is a self-propelled walk-behind sweeper which is powered either by a battery or petrol engine. However, this floor cleaning machine is maneuverable, versatile, and high performing, and can accelerate cleaning operations and guarantee optimal results even in environments with heavy dust.
To fully use this sweeper during the construction of houses, buildings, warehouses or skyscrapers, Eureka has created a lifting kit which enables the Kobra to be transported to any floor, hoisting it with a crane or winch.
The optional kit can be easily installed on the Kobra in just a couple of minutes, even after purchasing the machine itself.
Try to imagine cleaning a new five floor building with 200m2 of floor space on each level.
An experienced worker would take over 250 hours to carry out this job with a dustpan and broom, not to mention that a brush lifts a lot of the dust instead of removing it. This means airborne particles either end up resettling on the floor, making the area dirty again, or are breathed in by the operator.
With the Kobra the same floor area can be cleaned in less than an hour, without raising dust, and thanks to the lifting kit it's now possible to use the sweeper on multistorey constructions sites.
