Planned Maintenance Program

Extended Sweeper Life · Lower Repair Costs

Floor sweepers that run in high-debris environments accumulate wear fast. A structured PM program keeps brushes, filters, hoppers, and drive components in spec — catching problems before they cause unplanned downtime or shorten the machine’s lifespan.

Brush wear inspection and replacement scheduling
Dust filter cleaning, testing, and replacement
Hopper, flap, and debris channel inspection
Battery, drive, and mechanical system checks

Full Equipment Reconditioning

Like-New Performance · Extend Service Life

Older sweepers with good structural bones but heavy mechanical wear don’t always need to be replaced. Our technicians can rebuild your machine from the brush deck up — restoring sweep performance, extending service life, and saving you significantly over the cost of new equipment.

Common Repair Areas

Sweeper Systems Our Technicians Fix

Floor sweepers have a distinct set of mechanical systems from scrubbers. Our technicians know them inside and out — from cylindrical brush decks to debris hoppers and dust suppression systems.

Main Brush & Side Brush Systems

Brush motor failures, worn or broken brush filaments, brush adjustment and pressure issues, and side brush arm damage. The brush deck is the heart of the sweeper — worn or misadjusted brushes mean debris gets pushed instead of swept.

Debris Hopper & Dump Mechanism

Hopper door seals, worn flap deflectors, failed dump actuators, and debris channel blockages. A compromised hopper means debris falls back onto the floor mid-operation — defeating the purpose of sweeping entirely.

Dust Filter & Dust Control Systems

Clogged or damaged primary and secondary filters, failed dust shaker mechanisms, and broken filter housing seals. When the dust system fails, fine particulates escape back into the air — a safety and compliance issue in regulated environments.

Battery & Electrical Systems

Battery capacity loss, charging system faults, motor controller issues, and wiring failures on battery-electric walk-behind and rider sweepers. We service both lead-acid and lithium battery platforms and carry common electrical components in stock.

Drive & Traction Systems

Traction motor failures, drive wheel slipping, transaxle issues, and steering problems on rider sweepers. We diagnose both electronic and mechanical traction faults and carry replacement drive components for the brands we service.

Gas & LPG Engine Service

Carburetor and fuel system repairs, ignition issues, engine tune-ups, and propane system service on gas and LPG-powered rider sweepers used on loading docks, outdoor concrete, and high-demand industrial applications.

How It Works

Getting Your Sweeper Serviced Is Simple

From your first call to your machine back on the floor — here’s what the process looks like.

Call us or submit a service request online. Let us know your sweeper’s make, model, and what symptoms you’re seeing. We’ll schedule your service and confirm whether in-shop or on-site makes more sense for your situation.

Our technician performs a thorough inspection of all mechanical, electrical, and debris-handling systems. You receive a clear, itemized estimate before any repair work begins — no hidden charges, no surprises.

Repair & Verification

We complete the repair using genuine OEM parts wherever available, then run a full operational test — verifying sweep performance, dust containment, hopper function, and drive operation before the machine leaves our hands.

FAQ

Common Questions About Floor Sweeper Repair

Do you service floor sweepers you didn’t sell?

Yes. We repair and maintain floor sweepers regardless of where they were purchased. In addition to the Factory Cat, PowerBoss, and Minuteman machines we sell, we service sweepers by Tennant, Nilfisk, Clarke, Advance, Karcher, and most other major brands. Reach out with your machine’s make and model and we’ll let you know how we can help.

My sweeper is leaving debris behind instead of collecting it — what’s wrong?

Poor debris pickup is one of the most common sweeper complaints and usually comes down to a few likely causes: worn or incorrectly adjusted main brush filaments, a damaged or misaligned side brush, a compromised hopper flap that’s letting debris fall back out, or a brush motor that’s losing torque. In some cases it’s as simple as a brush that needs to be lowered. Our technicians will diagnose the specific cause and get your machine collecting cleanly again.

My sweeper is kicking up a dust cloud when it runs. Is that a repair issue?

Yes — and it’s worth addressing promptly, especially in facilities with air quality regulations. Visible dust during operation almost always means the dust filter is clogged, torn, or has a failed seal allowing fine particles to bypass the filtration system. The dust shaker mechanism (on machines that have one) may also have failed, preventing the filter from cleaning itself between passes. We’ll inspect the full dust control system and restore proper containment.

Can you come to our facility or does the sweeper need to come to your shop?

Both options are available. Walk-behind sweepers are easy to transport and often turn around faster in our shop. Large rider sweepers are more practical to service on-site, and we can dispatch a technician to your location throughout North and South Carolina. When you contact us, we’ll talk through which approach makes more sense given your machine type, urgency, and location.

How often should a floor sweeper be serviced?

Service frequency depends heavily on how hard the machine works and what type of debris it’s handling. Light commercial use in a school or retail environment might warrant a PM visit every six months. A sweeper running daily in a foundry or metal fabrication plant handling heavy industrial debris should be inspected far more frequently — quarterly at minimum, with brush and filter checks in between. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your actual usage and operating environment.

Do you stock sweeper brushes and filters, or do those need to be ordered?

We stock commonly needed sweeper wear parts — brushes, filters, flap deflectors, and other high-turnover components — for the Factory Cat, PowerBoss, and Minuteman machines we sell. For less common parts or specific model variants, we have direct access to each manufacturer’s parts supply and can source what you need quickly. You can also request parts through our parts request form or order directly through Bortek Shop.

Is it worth repairing an older sweeper or should I replace it?

We’ll give you a straight answer on this. A sweeper with a single failed component — a brush motor, a battery pack, a hopper actuator — is almost always worth repairing. A machine with a corroded frame, a worn-out drive system, and multiple failing components at once may not be worth the investment. Our technicians will assess the overall condition and give you an honest cost-versus-replacement analysis so you can make the right call for your budget.

Preventive Maintenance for Floor Sweepers

A structured preventive maintenance program addresses this wear proactively, catching failing parts before they cause a breakdown and keeping the machine’s collection efficiency at its best. We customize PM schedules around your machine’s specific usage intensity and debris conditions rather than applying a generic timetable.

Brushes, dust filters, hopper flap deflectors, side brush assemblies, drive belts, and electrical components are available through our parts request process.
