New Outdoor Division for Nilfisk
The Nilfisk group have announced the creation of a totally new division worldwide. The Outdoor Division will extend the Nilfisk range into the green maintenance, utility vehicle and 1.5 cubic metre road sweeper sectors.
It was 1906 when a Danish gentleman by the name of Mr P Fisker set up the Nilfisk Company. Little could he have imagined the scale of the Organisation that exists today?
The Nilfisk revolution started with the invention of the C1 vacuum cleaner weighing in at only 17.5 kilos.
Today Nilfisk is present in 43 countries worldwide and is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of professional cleaning equipment. Customers benefit from a complete ‘one stop shop’ solution with the product range extending from tub vacuums to road sweepers.
Nilfisk developed the RS Road Sweeper range several years ago gaining considerable experience in this arena. Recently however they acquired the Danish outdoor cleaning equipment manufacturer Egholm. Nilfisk-Egholm products within the outdoor range will include high quality green area maintenance machines and heavy duty road sweepers.
These cost effective machines have the benefit of combined function; sold with anything up to 13 different attachments the units undertake year round tasks such as green areas, winter maintenance and road sweeping.
First into the UK is the compact Nilfisk-Egholm City Ranger 2200, a 34 Horse Power, 4 wheel drive vehicle that can be tailored to all applications. http://www.egholm.eu/?id=23049 (video link relevant only to TC piece)
The City Ranger is a manoeuvrable 3 in 1 multi function machine which delivers considerable cost savings to the customer. Grass cutting, lawn edging and hedge trimming complete the green maintenance facility whilst winter maintenance tasks such as snow sweeping, spreading gravel, salt and sand are easily managed with additional attachments.
Attachments are quick and easy to change with a single lock and release lever, hydraulics connect automatically making it impossible to fit the attachments incorrectly.
The units have excellent weight distribution too due to a low point of gravity and a large axle base. This makes them very stable in all terrains with the articulated design keeping the unit close to edges and turning sharp corners. The City Ranger is compact and easily transported on a truck or trailer. Market tested and proven this machine is a powerful market contender.
Fresh into the Nilfisk Group camp is also Jungojet, a specialist manufacturer of utility vehicles, winter maintenance and road sweeping machines.
Nilfisk UK have recruited specialist Outdoor personnel from industry competitors who will focus solely on the new division. The unique ride on high pressure washer machine – the Cyclone will be very much part of their remit.
The Cyclone CY5000 and CY5500 units provide unmatched deep cleaning of concrete and other hard surfaces by scouring away dirt, tyre markets and fuel deposits.
High pressure surface cleaning with a water recovery and recycling system built in. Virtually all water used is reclaimed and contaminants are filtered out. Minimum water is used in the one pass cleaning operation with no chemical and water discharge into the environment.
The powerful 4350 psi pressure washer and in line water heater complete an impressive specification capable of delivering up to 3000 metres of cleaning per hour.
There can be no doubt that Nilfisk are now a serious outdoor machinery provider. All parties looking for advice, training, site surveys or demonstrations should contact the head office, a first class experienced service is guaranteed.
