Floor Sweeper Service & Maintenance
Factory-trained technicians. 50+ point inspections. Fast repairs to keep your floors spotless.
Overview
Clean grounds are essential for the success of any business. In one poll, 14 percent of respondents stated that they would stop visiting a retail store if it didn’t meet their standards of cleanliness — and another 29 percent said they would only visit an unclean store if they absolutely had to.
Quite simply, you may not get a second chance to impress customers or clients if your organization doesn’t provide a high standard of cleanliness.
Industrial-grade walk-behind and ride-on sweepers ensure that the floors of your facilities and outside grounds remain free of dirt, dust, debris, and other clutter. But like any other piece of equipment, floor sweepers need to be serviced to make sure they are operating at optimal levels.
The Benefits of Servicing Your Floor Sweepers
Regular maintenance keeps your fleet running and your costs predictable.
By putting your fleet of floor sweeping equipment on a regular maintenance schedule, you won’t have to worry about your machinery malfunctioning. Your cleaning technicians will be more effective at their jobs, conquering more space in less time. Properly maintained sweepers may also be easier to handle and use — which can mean higher employee satisfaction.
The costs of failing to maintain your cleaning equipment can be high. The decision to forego maintenance can also void your product warranty. Failing to maintain your sweepers and industrial cleaning equipment can also mean:
- Your cleaning equipment may break down, leading to unclean conditions and costly emergency repairs.
- Your costs may increase — emergency repairs and new equipment are far costlier than a maintenance schedule.
- Your cleaning staff may spend more time fielding equipment complaints rather than cleaning.
- Staff may be injured if equipment is not kept in good repair.
- Unexpected breakdowns throw your budget into chaos — scheduled maintenance is far easier to plan for.
When you regularly service floor sweepers, you’re extending their useful life and ensuring they work properly. Spending money on maintenance now prevents substantial bills down the road when unmaintained equipment inevitably falls into disrepair.
Do You Need to Maintain Your Sweepers?
In general, if you own it, you need to service it.
If you use a cleaning service, the company you hire maintains their own equipment. If you lease, read the agreement to find out whether you’re responsible for any maintenance. If you own your sweepers outright, regular service is essential.
You may be overdue for sweeper service if:
- Your business property is not as clean as it used to be due to poor sweeper maintenance.
- Your team reports that sweepers aren’t performing as well or are handling oddly.
- The cleaning process is taking noticeably longer.
- You have owned your sweepers for months and have not done any maintenance.
- You need sweeper repair as a result of deferred upkeep.
In these situations, get prompt industrial cleaning equipment service — before your equipment breaks down or someone gets hurt.
Creating a Maintenance Plan
A proactive schedule prevents breakdowns before they happen.
If you have a sweeper down, you’ll need to get someone in for industrial cleaning equipment repair. But if things haven’t gotten that bad yet, you can be proactive and possibly prevent a breakdown by creating a commercial cleaning equipment service and maintenance plan.
A good service and maintenance plan will:
- Schedule service when it meets your time and operational schedule
- Include full inspection, service, and basic repairs
- Swap out worn brushes on sweepers at the right intervals
- Replace fluids and check tires on ride-on sweepers
- Make budgeting easier with predictable, scheduled maintenance costs
What Type of Maintenance Do You Need?
Bortek Industries is proud to offer service for all major machine types.
Walk-behind and ride-on sweepers clean the grounds and floors of your business, removing debris, dirt, and dust. Inadequate maintenance results in sweepers getting clogged or failing outright — forcing your staff to work harder or rent additional equipment. A proper maintenance schedule by Bortek Industries helps you keep your property cleaner and your equipment running longer.
Street sweepers work especially hard, contending with litter, sticks, rocks, and larger debris in addition to standard dirt and dust. Because they operate in a manner similar to other vehicles, they need regular maintenance — just like your car does. Our qualified technicians are familiar with all major street sweeper brands.
Parking lot sweepers are a considerable investment. Proper maintenance keeps that investment running at peak performance while extending its life. Properly functioning parking lot sweepers don’t require multiple passes over the same area to clean, reducing cleaning costs and staff time.
Choosing the Right Maintenance & Repair Service
Always look for a service company that checks every box.
Qualified, Experienced Technicians
The professionals who show up to repair and maintain your sweepers should be trained, qualified, and familiar with different makes and models. If technicians arrive when your business is open, professionalism matters — rude or loud technicians can affect the impressions customers have of your organization, even if the workers aren’t yours.
Familiarity With Your Brand of Equipment
Look for a service company with experience working on the specific make and model of your equipment. Minor variances in design can mean a big difference in how maintenance is performed and whether your warranties remain valid.
Warranty Knowledge & Protection
One of the primary goals of regular service is protecting your warranties. Make sure the technicians working on your machines understand what your warranties entail and are able to complete maintenance at or above that level. A good company will go above the minimum required to ensure optimal cleaning performance.
Reliability and a Long Track Record
A service company with a long history has the expertise and consistent quality to keep customers coming back. Service and maintenance professionals should show up as expected, complete work in the agreed timeframes, and honor all agreements — no surprises.
Comprehensive Service Plans
The company you entrust with your sweepers should be thorough. A complete plan should cover fan filter cleaning and replacement, brush checks and adjustments, hose and connection inspection, motor checks and tune-ups, tire pressure checks, dust filter checks, and general component maintenance — vacuums, guards, belts, fans, chains, and fluids. Technicians should follow a defined checklist every time.
On-the-Spot Minor Repairs
When a technician finds a problem during a scheduled maintenance call, you shouldn’t have to schedule a second visit. Bortek Industries technicians travel in fully-equipped vans so problems can be fixed promptly. If a larger issue is uncovered, our team is committed to resolving it in the timeliest fashion possible.
