Safe sweeping on site
October 1st 2009

Following its relocation to a new £70M facility on the old Ravenscraig site, the janitorial team at Motherwell College in Lanarkshire has invested in the new Nilfisk RS502.

The diesel powered vacuumated road sweeper copes is capable of picking up full cans and bricks and its pressure washer facility is used to clean bin areas and remove chewing gum and graffiti from hard surfaces.

The sweeper's salt spreader accessory helps protect staff and students against slip risk from ice on roadways and walkways; at the first hint of a frost the salt spreader is attached to the sweeper and dispenses salt evenly across all areas. A flashing beacon and reverse warning ensure people are safe around the sweeper.

Autumn leaf fall is also expected to put the RS502 through its paces as a significant number of trees have been planted on the new site although they are unlikely to present a real problem until better established.
