Product Description
Viper Commercial Floor Care
Rugged manual push floor sweeper with a 28-inch sweeping path, adjustable main broom, right-side broom, and lightweight 10-gallon debris hopper.
The Viper PS480-US is a compact manual push sweeper designed for quick debris collection on indoor and outdoor hard surfaces.
Its purely mechanical design requires no motor, battery, charger, fuel, or power cord, making it a practical choice for routine cleanup with minimal maintenance.
The adjustable main broom is powered by a two-wheel transmission, while the right-side broom uses a belt-drive system to pull debris away from walls, shelving, curbs, and edges. Paper, leaves, bottle caps, cigarette butts, small screws, nails, and similar dry debris are collected inside the removable 10-gallon hopper.
