We have also recently added an extensive fleet of power sweepers to address the increased demand from specialist manufacturing clients and general facility management companies.?
Fallon pointed out that these would be the first of their kind in the region and ideal for most long-term projects such as telecommunications, military applications and construction sites in remote locations.
