Designed to handle everything from fine dust to heavy debris, these machines provide a fast, reliable, and highly effective solution for maintaining clean floors across a wide range of industries.
Hako floor sweepers are more than just cleaning machines, they are an investment in efficiency, safety, and presentation. With powerful performance, advanced dust control, and streamlined operation, they help businesses maintain cleaner environments with less time and effort.
Whether you operate a warehouse, retail space, industrial facility, or outdoor site, there is a Hako floor sweeper designed to meet your needs.
Industrial Floor Sweepers
What are floor sweepers and how do they work?
Industrial floor sweepers are purpose-built machines designed to collect dust, dirt, and debris quickly and efficiently. Using a combination of rotating brushes and vacuum systems, they gather debris into an onboard hopper for easy disposal.
Unlike manual sweeping, which can leave behind fine dust and require significant labour, floor sweepers provide a more thorough and consistent clean, even across large or complex spaces.
Hako floor sweepers deliver performance, reliability and ease of operation.

Hako Sweepmaster Range
The different types of floor sweepers
Choosing the right floor sweeper depends on your environment, the size of the area, and the type of debris you need to manage. Hako offers a range of solutions designed to deliver efficient cleaning across different applications.
Walk-behind sweepers
Ideal for smaller areas, confined spaces, and detailed cleaning tasks, walk-behind sweepers offer excellent manoeuvrability and control. Their compact design allows operators to easily navigate around obstacles, machinery, shelving, and tight aisles. These machines are well suited to indoor environments such as workshops, retail spaces, and smaller warehouses, where precision cleaning is essential.
Ride-on sweepers
Designed for large-scale cleaning, ride-on sweepers provide greater coverage and efficiency, making them the ideal solution for expansive areas. With increased speed, larger hopper capacity, and enhanced operator comfort, they are perfect for warehouses, distribution centres, car parks, and industrial facilities. Ride-on machines significantly reduce cleaning time while maintaining consistent results across large floor areas.
Outdoor sweepers
Built to handle demanding external environments, the Hako Citymaster range of outdoor sweepers and street sweepers are engineered for use on surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and paved areas. They are ideal for car parks, roads, loading docks, and public spaces, where they effectively remove dirt, leaves, dust, and heavier debris. Their robust construction and powerful suction systems ensure reliable performance in all weather and site conditions.
Specialised sweepers
For environments that require a higher level of cleanliness or dust control, specialised sweepers are equipped with advanced filtration systems and innovative dust suppression technology. These machines are ideal for industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, food production, and sensitive industrial environments, where airborne dust must be minimised to protect both people and processes. Features such as fine dust filtration and enhanced sealing systems help deliver cleaner air and improved workplace safety.
Combination sweeper scrubbers
For environments that require both sweeping and wet cleaning in a single pass, Hako combination scrubber sweepers deliver maximum efficiency. These machines combine powerful sweeping performance with integrated scrubbing technology, allowing operators to remove debris and wash floors simultaneously. Ideal for large industrial sites, manufacturing facilities, and high-traffic environments, they reduce cleaning time, improve productivity, and deliver a deeper, more hygienic clean with fewer passes.
Buying a floor sweeper
Things to consider when buying a floor sweeper
Selecting the right floor sweeper is key to achieving efficient, consistent cleaning. The right machine will depend on your specific environment, usage, and operational needs.
Size of the area to be cleaned
The total floor area plays a major role in determining the most suitable machine. Smaller spaces or segmented areas are best suited to compact, walk-behind sweepers, while large, open environments such as warehouses, car parks, and distribution centres benefit from ride-on machines that can cover more ground quickly and reduce overall cleaning time.
Type of debris (fine dust, large debris, leaves, etc.)
Different environments generate different types of waste. Fine dust requires strong filtration systems to prevent it becoming airborne, while larger debris like leaves, gravel, or packaging waste requires robust brushes and higher-capacity collection systems. Choosing a machine designed for your specific debris type ensures more effective cleaning and fewer repeat passes.
Indoor, outdoor, or mixed use
Where the machine will be used is critical. Indoor environments often require quieter operation, tighter manoeuvrability, and effective dust control. Outdoor applications demand more robust machines capable of handling uneven surfaces, weather exposure, and heavier debris. If your cleaning requirements span both, a versatile sweeper designed for mixed use is the best option.
Access and aisle widths
Consider how easily the machine can navigate your space. Narrow aisles, tight corners, and obstacles such as shelving or machinery require compact, highly manoeuvrable sweepers. Larger machines may offer greater efficiency, but they must be able to comfortably access all required areas without disruption to operations.
Cleaning frequency and time available
How often cleaning is required, and how much time is allocated to it, will influence your choice. High-traffic environments that require frequent cleaning benefit from faster, higher-capacity machines that can complete tasks quickly. In contrast, occasional cleaning in smaller areas may only require a more compact, lower-capacity solution.
Noise requirements
In environments such as retail stores, hospitals, schools, or offices, noise levels are an important consideration. Low-noise machines allow cleaning to take place during operating hours without disrupting staff, customers, or visitors. For industrial or outdoor environments, noise may be less of a constraint, allowing for more powerful machines to be used.
Taking these factors into account helps ensure you choose the most suitable solution for your business.
