The performance of Advance’s new Terra® 28B walk-behind sweeper leaves
wide-area vacuums in the dust. Its 28 inch wide sweep path handles carpet
with 2.5 times more productivity than a 28 inch wide-area vacuum (ISSA data).
Plus, the Terra 28B’s side broom eliminates the need for edge cleaning after
sweeping. Compact and easy to maneuver for even your smallest operators,
the Terra 28B is rated at just 59 dB A – making it one of the quietest sweepers
in the industry.
The Terra 28B features A.S.A.P. (All Surface All Purpose) sweeping technology.
Sweeping efficiency is maximized as the operator transitions from one floor
type to another without having to change the type of broom. Many times the
transition can also be completed without having to adjust the broom height.
The A.S.A.P. technology is made possible with a unique main broom design
coupled with a well engineered skirting system. The specially designed
main broom contains dual rows of soft and coarse bristles that will pick up
everything from dirt and sand, to paper and plastic pop bottles on carpet and
hard floor. The long-running, maintenance-free gel battery comes standard
on the Terra 28B, while an onboard battery charger allows the operator the
flexibility to plug the sweeper in any place there is an outlet.
The Terra 28B was built with your green cleaning program in mind. The
machine’s extra quiet operation allows daytime cleaning and contributes to
operator safety. The Terra 28B sweeper utilizes a durable polyester panel filter
shaker in the marketplace. Using the filter shaker on a regular basis gives you
the most out of your filter. It minimizes filter changes while maximizing your
indoor air quality. And since the Terra 28B is a bag-less sweeper, there’s no
money spent on bags, or time spent changing them.
One-Touch™ operation, a streamlined design and superior maneuverability
make this sweeper easy for any operator to use. The Terra 28B sweeper
features traction assist for fast and easy sweeping. Tools-free broom removal
and adjustment makes for easy cleaning of the sweeper at the end of an
operator’s shift.
