ePowerTrucks is the new UK distributor for an innovative street cleaning machine.
The Glutton is a quiet, clean and environmentally-friendly alternative to ride-on street cleaners and powered barrows.
It vacuums up any waste that can pass through a 12.5cm diameter tube; including paper, cardboard, cigarettes packets and butts, cans and glass, plastic and metal bottles, dog faeces, dead leaves, and waste trapped in tree grills.
100% battery powered, it provides 12 hours of operation between charges. Virtually silent and with powerful dust capturing technology, it can be used during busy periods without creating any noise or air pollution for residents, businesses and shoppers.
Jerry Hanss, Managing Director of ePowerTrucks, said: "The Glutton combines all the benefits of a street sweeper with the ease of use of a powered barrow.
"It is great at dealing with problem areas - and by replacing a ride-on vehicle with a virtually silent machine it reconnects the operative with the local community; a big benefit for local authorities and their contractors."
Ergonomically designed, the operator simply uses one hand to steer the self-propelled machine, while the other controls the vacuum that is attached to a wander hose. The Glutton weighs substantially less than a conventional powered barrow used for street waste collection - and at just 0.75m wide it is far more compact, making it easier to handle.
It is equally effective outdoors on pavements, public roads and in car parks as it is indoors in malls, warehouses and convention centres. An intelligent, integrated battery charger enables recharging from any mains electricity supply, allowing for opportune charging in the field. Furthermore, as an all-electric machine, it requires virtually no maintenance or replacement of spare parts.
Based in Oldham, Greater Manchester, ePowerTrucks is a leading supplier of road-legal and off-highway electric vehicles. ePowerTrucks will showcase the Glutton for the first time at the Southern Municipals Exhibition (SME), which takes place at Malling Research Centre in Kent on Thursday 12th May.
Along with the Glutton, the company will exhibit some of its most popular road legal vehicles, tugs, and ride-on tow tractors.
