Floor sweepers remove dirt of all kinds from interior and exterior surfaces, picking up dust and debris using a roller brush, and depositing it into a container (hopper) for ease of disposal. Sweepers come in many sizes with varying cleaning paths, run times and operation methods of manual/push, walk-behind and ride-on.
