to cope with all outdoor hard
surface areas including
pavements.The sweeper is used
by both day and night staff
primarily to control litter.
The diesel powered RS502
vacuumated sweeper even picks
up full coke cans and bricks.The
pressure washer facility on
board is used to clean bin areas
and remove chewing gum and
graffiti from hard surfaces.
With a sweeping width of
1600mm, the RS502 operates
over high kerbs up to 15cm onto
pavements and manoeuvres
easily around shelters.The

warning beeper eliminate any
potential health and safety risk
for students.The RS502 also has
a salt spreader accessory.The

all inclusive service contract
covering planned maintenance,
parts and breakdown visits.
