IndustrialNilfisk SR1601 Industrial Floor Sweeper Machine
The Nilfisk SR1601 Industrial Floor Sweeper Machine stands out as a highly advanced ride-on sweeper crafted for demanding industrial environments—from heavily soiled factory floors and construction sites to large parking areas and distribution centres. At its core, it’s engineered to deliver maximum cleaning productivity while simplifying operations and maintenance.
Precision Dust Control & Superior Cleaning Efficiency
Equipped with the innovative DustGuard™ system, this sweeper drastically minimizes airborne dust during operation, ensuring cleaner air and reducing the need for additional cleaning post-sweeping. Coupled with a broad 900 mm main broom and a sweeping path up to 1,600 mm, it can deliver impressive productivity—covering thousands of square metres per hour, depending on the model and configuration.
Built for Productivity, Serviceability & Operator Comfort
Productivity features:
-
A free-floating main broom with fine-tuning adjustment ensures optimal cleaning across varying floor surfaces.
-
Power steering comes standard, ensuring smooth, effortless manoeuvring even in tight areas.
Serviceability enhancements:
-
The MaxAccess™ system allows quick and easy internal access, simplifying routine servicing.
-
The NoTools™ system enables fast, tool-free replacement of main and side brooms—minimizing downtime.
Durability & build quality:
-
The sweeper features rotomoulded polyethylene covers and bumpers over a sturdy steel chassis, providing the strength of automotive-grade protection with lightweight resilience.
Multiple Power Options to Suit Your Needs
To match different operational preferences and power availability, the SR1601 comes in three variants:
-
Battery-powered (48V), ideal for indoor use or where low emissions/noise are priorities.
-
Maximum speed: 8 km/h; sound level: ~69.5 dB(A).
-
-
Diesel model (Kubota 3-cylinder, ~16.3 kW): faster and suited for heavy-duty outdoor use.
-
Speed: 12 km/h; sound level: ~88 dB(A).
-
-
LPG version (Kubota DF 972, ~23.1 kW/31 HP): high power, similar performance to the diesel model.
All variants share a 315 L hopper, deliver comparable sweeping widths (1,250 mm with one side broom, 1,600 mm with two), and maintain climbing ability up to 20–25% depending on configuration.
