VLM Options

[KSL]

Hello,

I was looking for your suggestions as to the best VLM equipment options you would suggest for use in the commercial market only. We are currently running Butler truckmounts but were looking to offer this service where the truckmounts will not work out for a variety of issues.

I realize that their will be varying opinions, but would appreciate any information that you can offer.

Thanks

Got a sweet deal on a vibe

But probably a 19 inch with sports car wheels CIMEX.

The Sprayborg or vibe is a good way to start. You can use it like a cimex, just a little slower. Gives you the opportunity to use just scrubbing pads or absorbent pads

I second a squirting jiggler.

This is pretty much where I'm at. I like the setup of the Sprayborg better but just doesn't seem like it is worth 2k more than the Vibe.

Thanks for the feedback

This orbital is another to consider:

If you have nothing yet, a 175 machine should be first.

If you already have a 175, then a squirting jiggling machine and various pads should be next.

Only if you already have both others should you buy a Cimex IMHO.

With techs I'd get the Vibe or Cimex.. I wouldn't trust a tech with a 175.. I tend to make it easy for techs to succeed..

Not having a 175 is even more reason to get a pad jiggler before a Cimex.

If you really want to spoil your techs, get them purty lil' Orbiter with some red pads.

They're so cute and cuddly...............

Your techs will be fighting over it.

Thank you all for your feedback, I appreciate it. I've been in the janitorial side of the business for over 40 years so I have a warehouse full of 175 swing machines. Looks like I'll just pick up an Orbot or Cimex to start with and most likely pick the up the other next year.

175/300 buffer.....300 speed fast and quick
One hand it all the way across a large room using tuways.
Spray out an area with a 100 psi sprayer or hook up a solution line to a extractor you already have.

300 rpm rotary is a good option as well as the Cimex
