As 2016 is now finally in the books and we are firmly entrenched in the new year, Global Environmental Products would like to wish all of our partners and customers a happy and prosperous 2017. At Global, we have been hard at work expanding our product offering and our dealer network to bring you the most reliable and innovative products the sweeper industry has to offer. Our full product line of sweepers with comprehensive standard equipment coupled with the most professional and customer oriented dealer network has made Global Environmental Products the fastest growing sweeper brand in North America. We would like to thank all of our customers who have put their faith in us for helping to make this happen and we look forward to serving you thoughout 2017 and for many years to come. If you are among the remaining sweeper users who haven’t experienced a Global street sweeper, we would like to invite you to schedule a Global sweeper demonstration in 2017. It will be one new year resolution that will be easy to keep and you will not regret.

We are always proud to say we have built and delivered another new Global Street Sweeper to a City, Village, Town or Private Contractor. There are times, however, when we have the distinct pleasure of introducing our street sweeper to a new customer and participating in something great at the same time!

In October of 2015 we were part of something truly extraordinary. Our Partner and Distributor in Ohio, MTECH and Global Environmental Products delivered a Pink Street Sweeper to the City of Toledo. The New Global M3 Street Sweeper “bubble gum” paint scheme was provided to the City at no charge and is designed to promote Health Awareness while sweeping the City of Toledo Streets!

Alex Houser Vukoder, Director of Division Communications for the American Cancer Society’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” program expressed appreciation for the contribution while praising the “Sweeping Away Cancer” project as a most unique and portable way to promote awareness.

Our Global M3 Street Sweeper features a Cab-Over Design offering great pedestrian visibility, larger 5.6 cu. yd. hopper, larger 47” digger-type side brooms, and 24 mph road speed. Jeremy Mikolajczyk, Public Service Manager, had researched new models of street sweepers, specifically looking at the efficiency, and total cost of operation, finally deciding on the Global M3. When the Global Sweeper was being ordered the choice of color was discussed and that is when Chris Cira, President of MTECH, said “we can make it pink if you want!” Thinking about a new direction and how the City may use new equipment to do much more than just sweep, the Global M3 Pink Sweeper became a reality.

We would like to thank City of Toledo and MTECH for making this happen! We are very proud to be part of such a great event and that we can effectively use a street sweeper to carry such a positive message!

With a Large logo on the side of the Hopper “Sweeping Away Cancer” we were fortunate to raise $6,000 For the American Cancer Society. What an amazing experience!

It is hard to believe it was five years ago that the first ever 3 wheel mechanical street sweeper manufactured by Global was exhibited in Denver at the 2011 American Public Works Association’s national conference.   August of 2016 marked the 6th APWA national conference that Global Environmental Products has exhibited in.  Global had an excellent show in Minneapolis with over 6,800 public works professionals attending the conference.  At a time when other manufacturers are scaling back, Global is pushing forward and there was constant activity and excitement in our booth this year to prove it. Anyone attending the shows these past five years has seen the expansion of the Global product offering and innovative improvements that are propelling Global Environmental Products ahead of our competitors to be a leader in the street sweeping industry.

Two years ago Global launched the highly successful M4HSD as well as the chassis mounted V6 air recirculating vacuum sweeper.  The M4HSD is the world’s only high side discharge, purpose built, single engine sweeper that offers better visibility, maneuverability and performance than any chassis mounted mechanical sweeper on the market.  It also marked the introduction to Global’s innovative load leveling system that allows operators to maximize payload capacity without having to dangerously shift the load in  the hopper.  The V6 raises the bar in the larger vacuum sweeper market with Variable Air Stream Technology (VAST) that gives the operator the ability to control the air flow through the system, allowing them to adjust the machine to sweep a variety of materials and conditions from heavy debris to leaves and from dry desert conditions to freezing temperatures!

Last year Global introduced the R3, the worlds first 3 wheel, single engine, hydrostatic drive Regenerative Air street sweeper. Built on the same platform and offering the same visibility, maneuverability and reliability as the Global M3, the R3 offers those customers that prefer or require regenerative air technology in the their fleet unprecedented performance and the ability to dump into containers or dump trucks at a highly cost effective price.  This years show Global Environmental Products was proud to introduce the new V4, a highly effective 5.5 cu. yd. vacuum sweeper with a stainless steel hopper and the same “V.A.S.” technology as the V6 on a compact 19,500 GVW cab-over chassis improving visibility, performance and cost without sacrificing the performance of a traditional vacuum sweeper.

Clearly Global Environmental Products has come a long way in five years, The national APWA shows are a great way to mark the milestones and introduce these innovations to the world, but the best way to learn more about these game changing street sweepers is to schedule a demonstration and witness what Global Environmental Products can offer you.

Not All Mechanical Street Are Created Equal!

Any mechanical sweeper should do a good job picking up a wide variety   of road debris. From heavy bulky material, trash, fines and leaves, a   mechanical sweeper needs to be versatile in its performance. However,   how the unit picks up material is as important as how much it picks up. If   you could do the same job with a unit that provides less time required for   maintenance and offers up to a 50% reduction in fuel consumption,  wouldn’t that be worth investing in?

A mechanical sweeper’s elevator is the most critical system the unit has.   It operates in the harshest of environments where it is constantly bombarded with various types of dirt and debris as well as moisture. The Global M3, MX3 and M4 purpose built sweepers employ a belt and sprocket system with aluminum flights and corded rubber squeegees that handle these conditions with excellent results. It is a system that is designed not only to provide high performance, but an increased life cycle and superior ease of maintenance compared to a full width belt conveyor system.

Imagine sweeping up a large item or something that is sharp. There is great potential to cut or tear the full width conveyor belt in a mechanical sweeper.
