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....

When it comes to tennis court cleaning few firms are more experienced than A3 Machines, this combined with our ability to find the best machine for customers has given us a good reputation in this market. A good example of this is a recent request from Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club in Kensington, London. They were concerned that their indoor tennis court floors were looking too worn and were looking for a new tennis court cleaning machine to get them looking new again. Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club The Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club was founded in 1884, just seven years after the first Wimbledon championships were held. There are few records remaining from the later 19th and early 20th centuries, but by the mid-1920s it was thriving. At this time there were already twelve courts (all with hard surfaces) and a full-time caretaker called Mr Zilwood. He lived in one of the club’s cottages with is daughter, son In law and granddaughter. In the summer, Zilwood’s daughter used to pr...

A large manufacturer contacted us regarding the long-term hire of a warehouse floor cleaning machine for their facility in Manchester. We discussed their needs over the phone and given the size of the warehouse a ride-on floor scrubber appeared to be the best solution.

Our service department received a service request for a  Viper AS710R from one of our customers at a packaging company in Telford , which is only twenty miles south of our base of operations in Market Drayton . Telford is a relatively new town, comprised of smaller industrial settlements that merged in the 1960’s and 70’s. The town is named after Thomas Telford , who was a civil engineer that developed many rail and road projects that linked places in the area together. These days, it is home to manufacturing sites of numerous Japanese industry giants such as Fujitsu, Nikon, Hitachi and Ricoh. Assessing the Machine Our engineer hit the road to travel the short distance to Telford, in order to assess the fault with their floor cleaning machine, which the customer reported was “not working as well as it had been”. As a packaging warehouse, lots of loose shreds and bits of plastic and other material that the staff work with would get scattered around the floor. Not to mention the...
