by AF0505e3 — May 10, 2010—Advance says its new VacRide is the industry’s first machine to offer true vacuum performance on a rider platform. The VacRide combines the dirt pick-up power and certified-HEPA filtration found in many upright and wide-area vacuums with the only seated-rider vacuum platform, says the company. The machine cuts cleaning time for large carpeted areas, while reducing operator fatigue, the company says.
Dual brushes, vacuum motors and certified-HEPA filters make the VacRide the first rider vacuum with true vacuum performance. This combination provides soil removal and dust containment comparable to upright and wide-area commercial vacuums. The VacRide’s ride-on platform lets cleaning staff drive the machine instead of pushing it, which increases cleaning productivity and reduces operator fatigue.
Advance’s VacRide features a 28-inch vacuum deck with a standard side broom, which together provides a 34-inch total cleaning path. A 1.2-foot bag lets operators clean for longer periods of time before changing the bag. At the touch of a button, quiet mode reduces the operating sound level to 64 dBA, allowing staff to clean during the day without disturbing building occupants.
A detailing wand lets operators reach hard-to-clean areas such as baseboards without leaving the operator compartment. Excellent sight lines allow operators to see within 7 inches of the front of the machine. The VacRide fits through doorways and in standard elevators, and an optional 25-ft. S-wand attachment offers the ability to clean areas that the machine is unable to navigate.
Advance is a brand of Nilfisk-Advance, one of the worlds leading manufacturers of high-quality commercial and industrial floor maintenance equipment.
