Sweepers FAQs

What is the best manual floor sweeper?

• The best manual floor sweeper is one that is designed for your specific need, type of flooring and size of site. Here are a few questions to ask yourself to help you choose: Are you working on hardwood floors, concrete or carpet? How large is the space you need to sweep? Do you want a lightweight, foldable model or a heavy-duty walk-behind sweeper? If you still need help deciding what sweeper you need for your particular project, please call your local United Rentals for expert help.

 Is vacuuming better than sweeping?

• Both vacuums and sweepers have their benefits, and whether you choose to use a vacuum or sweeper greatly depends on your need. Vacuums are ideal for pulling dust and debris into an enclosed container, creating less airborne dust. A sweeper, however, is ideal for cleaning the facility floor or outside surface before pulling the debris into a container, but sweepers can produce some airborne dust as they clean. Commercial/industrial sweepers are also used for larger sites and heavier debris cleanup.
