A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

Earlier this year we were contacted by company in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne about the hire of a viper floor cleaning machine . They had already purchased a Viper cleaning machine from us two years ago and impressed with its efficiency now wanted to expand their cleaning machine fleet.  The company specialise in the manufacturer of car brake linings and required a machine for cleaning the floor in their factory. With a large area to keep clean and a manufacturing process that has the potential to generate a lot of debris mechanical assistance was needed. Working During the COVID-19 Outbreak After discussing their requirements over the phone, we organised a demonstration of a couple of machines at their premises in Newcastle. This was much easier to do before the COVID-19 outbreak, these days we need to take more precautions including the use of sanitiser spray, wearing single use PPE, and working outside where possible. We even thoroughly wipe down all machinery prior to handover....

A customer recently contacted A3 Machines with an urgent hire request for multiple cleaning machines and wanted to visit our premises in Market Drayton for a demonstration. It turns out that they had recently been awarded a large cleaning contract for a factory which needed to be cleaned five days a week. Many of the areas required sweeping prior to cleaning due to a large amount of debris left daily on the floors so several different types of machines would be required. Floor debris can cause blockages in floor cleaning machinery, so we highly recommend removing it with a sweeper prior to the cleaning. The contract was due to start shortly and given the lead time required when acquiring new machines, we recommended the following second-hand machines which were immediately available and could be supplied under a hire agreement. Hiring makes a lot of sense for contract cleaning firms as the term of the agreement can mirror that of the cleaning contract reducing the financial risk if ...

Warehouse Cleaning needs a large machine so when Office Outlet asked if we could recommend a machine for their distribution warehouse in Manchester we recommended a Comac C130 Scrubber Dryer . Office Outlet was formed in 2017 when they bought out the Staples Retail chain however the name Staples was not included in the transaction and so the whole operation was re-branded. Some of the Staples stores were closed but there are still over 90 high street branches from Aberdeen to York now branded as Office Outlet. It’s worth noting that we also supply and service floor cleaning machines for the stores as well, albeit it smaller machines than the Comac C130, in fact we recently wrote about servicing a machine at an Office Outlet in Berkshire .
