Are you a Facebook Fan of WorldSweeper.com yet? If you were, you'd have seen a preview and photo of an upcoming story on Saturday. Tennessee-based Scott Graby, a 20+ year sweeping contractor, has announced America's first electrically-operated, chassis-mount parking area sweeper. The power module kit, which will be sold under the name 'Green Sweeper,' will run most all 2007-1/2 and newer parking area sweepers. Power is via an electric motor powered by a supplemental chassis alternator. The online edition of Better Roads magazine offers an in-depth article on 2010 chassis and the competing SCR and EGR emissions' solutions. The WorldSweeper.com archives offers an audio interview on Izusu's choice, as well. Elgin Sweeper introduces a new model, its Crosswind NX regenerative sweeper, which offers a patented filtration system ideal for efficient removal of fine dust particles. Victory Sweepers' president, Mark Schwarze, has announced the first-ever parking area sweeper to run without an engine or via hydraulics. The new sweeper is a battery-powered version of its popular T500, tow-behind sweeper. The new Victory sweeper is called the 'E500.' To help provide simple answers to questions about air and water pollution and clear up certain misconceptions in the marketplace about pollution control, Elgin Sweeper recently unveiled a dynamic Internet portal to serve as an industry information resource. In this economy, references are more important than ever. However, there are some techniques that work better than others, as well as some pitfalls to avoid. You're invited to check out my latest article on the topic. Prices are down; perfect time for established businesses to purchase tough-luck competitors. We have a new article that discusses the seven reasons why many buyouts fail -- and how to maximize your buyout success. Safety must top the list of all organizations. Our article, from nationally recognized safety manager, John Meola, offers a 'Top Ten' list to ensure that you are operating a safe organization. Getting plenty of bidding opportunities but not closing enough contracts? Take the suggestions in this article to heart and you'll be well on your way to increasing your closing rate. If you're buying a sweeper or other capital equipment, be sure to use WorldSweeper.com's 'One Click' Finance Program. It's the easiest way we know of to get quotes from a number of lenders by filling out just one form. When vendors compete -- you win! Finally, if you are a vendor to the sweeping industry and don't yet advertise here, please consider doing so with either a banner ad or a Sweeping Products listing. And, with as much traffic as this area gets, all contractors in America are missing a bet by not being in our Contractor Locator. As you can see from the logos above the headline, we have an RSS feed on the website, as well as links to our Twitter and Facebook accounts. These are easy ways to keep up with news at WorldSweeper.com. We also offer a web page that contains the latest articles we've added to the site.

PLEASE SUPPORT WORLDSWEEPER.COMThis website relies on industry-wide support. The good news is the information we supply can be unquestionably independent. The downside is we must have the support of the sweeping community at large to keep WorldSweeper.com up-to-date and online. Because of the relatively small size of the sweeping industry, we need financial support from all areas of sweeping: manufacturers, contractors and the other vendors and suppliers of power sweeping equipment. If you like what you see and value the site, please support it via the low cost enhanced listings in our Contractor Locator and Browse Sweeping Products sections. If you would like to support the site through a donation of any amount, via either PayPal or a credit card, just click on the donation link shown below. If you would like more information, or to provide your input and ideas on the World Sweeper concept, please contact us via one of the methods shown in the left column of this page. We're trying to represent all viewpoints in the sweeping industry, so please feel free to let us know yours. "If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well that all the
hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
