Nilfisk launches SW5500 hybrid sweeper
Nilfisk has launched the new SW5500 sweeper that sets a new level of innovation, boasts hybrid capability and significantly reduces the total cost of ownership.
The new SW5500 is available in battery, LPG and diesel versions and has a working width of 850mm, enhanced with 2 side brooms to 1500mm.
Normally as a broom wears the sweeping performance is reduced in line with the deterioration in the brush. The new Nilfisk adjustment system means that the distance between the end of the bristle to the debris always remains the same. This ensures that optimum sweeping performance is maintained. A low bristle length warning light is also included on the unit’s dashboard.
The Hybrid option allows users to deploy the same machine inside and out, switching between engine and battery power at the touch of a button.
All sweeping functions are activated by pressing one button and the drive pedal. Additional features include an energy saving, all functions auto stop when the unit is not being driven. The unit can climb and sweep a 20% gradient. Speed is automatically reduced on slopes minimising the risk of tilting and improving safety.
The Nilfisk Dustguard misting system sprays water on side brooms reducing dust considerably and improving the immediate environment. All main components and filters can be quickly and easily replaced without the need for tools minimising downtime and service costs.
