Vacuums: A Better Fit For Productivity

Company Website

Talk about job stress. The repetitive motion of pushing a heavy upright vacuum across hundreds of square feet of carpet and flooring, day after day, can cause enormous body fatigue and strain for maintenance workers. When ProTeam — the innovator of the lightweight, backpack vacuum — designed the first model in 1987, they knew it would help clean large buildings much faster, with less physical stress.

Now, independent studies have proven that idea. Two studies by the Department of Surgery, Division of Orthopedics and the Battelle Memorial Institute, determined that the ease-of-use and ergonomic design of ProTeam’s backpack vacuums allowed workers to vacuum more than twice the area in half the time. Importantly, this enormous increase in productivity took less than half the energy and effort it would to clean the same area with an upright.

ProTeam’s new Super QuarterVac™ — a more compact, lightweight version of the Super CoachVac® — was designed to comfortably and ergonomically fit even smaller members of a cleaning staff, while providing high-powered suction and lift.
