A CLEAN SWEEP FOR LANDSCAPING PROFESSIONALS WITH MAKITA CORDLESS SWEEPER

Efficiency and presentation go hand in hand for landscaping and grounds maintenance professionals. Consequently, the Makita VS001G 40v XGT Cordless Vacuum Sweeper is the ideal tool for outdoor work, enabling quick and efficient cleaning.

Suited to many different outdoor environments, such as parks, sports facilities, car parks and commercial landscape projects, the VS001G can also handle more typical indoor applications on sites. With the power to collect everything from fine dust and grass clippings to bulkier debris – and even objects as large as a 500ml plastic bottle – its robust brushless motor ensures reliable, long-lasting performance while keeping outdoor areas clean and work-ready.

With two height-adjustable rotary brushes operating at 500rpm, and a 160rpm adjustable side brush, the VS001G boasts a dust pickup rate of 90%, making tidying up after completing a maintenance job or other cleaning tasks quick and easy. Customers can improve the outdoor sweeping performance of the VS001G further by purchasing the tougher 1830S5-9 main brush and 1830S6-7 side brush, which offer increased durability for outdoor use.

Alongside its strong sweeping performance, the adjustable brush speed of the VS001G is designed to reduce motor noise. This makes it particularly useful for contractors working in built-up or noise-sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals, parks and residential streets, allowing maintenance tasks to be carried out efficiently without unnecessary disruption.

Capable of utilising one or two of Makita’s innovative 40V XGT batteries to operate its three motors, this high-performance tool delivers for extended periods. Combined with a standard dust box capacity of 24L, the VS001G enables landscapers to work for longer and maximise productivity, or an optional larger capacity 47L box is available. Makita has also engineered a self-cleaning dust filter that vibrates whilst the sweeper is in operation. This prevents the filter from clogging, ensuring the sweeper operates at its maximum level of suction and removing the need for users to stop regularly to clean the filter – further aiding productivity.

The design of the VS001G has also been optimised with usability in mind. Its cleaning width of 650mm allows this compact sweeper to be manoeuvred through doors, gates and around landscaping features with minimal effort, providing enough cleaning surface to cover large areas with ease. The lightweight build means it is simple to lift in and out of a van and the adjustable handle helps to reduce the amount of space required for storage.
