An intelligent upgrade for the HAMSTER 500 by Hako Machines

Size and cost are the features which usually receive the most attention in the upgrade of machinery, but Hako Machines have placed intelligence at the centre of development on the Hako-Hamster 500E walk-behind sweeper.


Hako have used an uncomplicated construction on a robust one-piece chassis to produce the Hamster 500E. The housing and chassis as well as the dirt hopper are absolutely corrosion-resistant.


The Hako-Hamster 500E delivers a powerful sweeping performance on hard floors and carpets. Its compact dimensions means that the manually operated sweeper is able to fully play to its advantages on smaller and narrow, restricted areas despite being the largest hopper in its class. The low unladen weight of the Hamster 500E coupled with its large, outer-lying wheels make the machine easy to handle and operate for the end-user - including negotiating staircases. The central sweeping level adjustment is a further innovation and ensures that the working performance remains of consistently good quality.


The Hako-Hamster 500E, delivered as standard with a fluff sieve for use on carpeted floors, which can be fitted without tools, and the main broom switches off automatically when the machine comes to a standstill. Its powerful vacuum blower with a large filter controls dust effectively. The Hako Hamster 500 E is packaged with an onboard battery charger, which means that the maintenance-free battery set can be recharged at any available plug socket.


Overall, the new Hako-Hamster 500E is definitely more pleasing aesthetically, but its modifications have been introduced to improve the experience of the end-user. The results of this are increased longevity, greater usability, and ultimately improved results.
