Johnston Sweepers Approved Operated Road Sweeper Hire

Posted on by

JPM Contractors Ltd pride themselves on service, reliability and professionalism when it comes to Operated Road Sweeper Hire, therefore we are very proud to announce our entry onto the list of Approved Johnston Operated Road Sweeper Hire Companies.

The entry onto this list of companies that are approved by the manufacturer of the most reliable road sweepers in the UK is based on the constant maintenance of our fleet of road sweepers using only genuine parts from Johnston Sweepers.

Using the original parts for the maintenance of our road sweeper fleet is just another step in our no compromise commitment towards complete customer satisfaction.

We work with the majority of road maintenance and tarmac crews in the UK and they have come to rely on our road sweepers to keep their projects running on time and within budget.

Working on the busiest roads and streets in and around London means that our vehicles must be kept running in tip top condition and we feel that this is best achieved by using original parts from the makers of the road sweeper.

JPM Contractors Ltd the name you can trust for road sweeper hire.

Emergency Response Vehicle

Posted on by

We have recently changed the look and feel of our Emergency Response Vehicles in an effort to freshen up the image and create cross brand awareness.

The identification of our support vehicles is important for gaining access to sensitive construction site areas and allowing the speedy response that we guarantee our customers. Another benefit of the high impact graphics is to allow for hazard awareness on Motorways and when working with tarmac crews on very busy, live roads. On the rare occasions that our support vehicles are called out to remedy any issues that the fleet of operated road sweepers may encounter, it’s important that our support vehicles are both easily identified and highly visible to allow the smooth operation of the current project to continue with little or no interruption.

This is a further commitment toward our 100% safety record over the last ten years of which we are rightly very proud.

Road sweeper cleaning

Posted on by

As many users of Road Sweeper Hire services will be fully aware, down time of the road sweeper can cause your job to run in to delays which in turn can affect many of your on site services and plans.

Most of these down time problems can be eliminated with good “house keeping” techniques, some of which are explained below. While these techniques are wholly the responsibility of the hire operator and should be carried out as a matter of course, as a site manager you can help to ensure these steps are being taken care of as they should be.

Before i go on i would like to bring to your attention one of the most innovative designs to hit the Road Sweeper industry in a long time. This is the “Tempest” leaf blower developed by Stocks Sweepers Ltd, which can be seen in the video below:
GOOD HOUSE KEEPING
Below is a short list of some of the items that site managers should look out for while utilising road sweepers on their sites to ensure ultimate use of the hire period and to maintain good cleaning of all areas: 
  • Regular tipping of waste collected from site.
  • Filter screens are cleaned after each tipping of waste.
  • All brushes attached to the vehicle have a good amount of bristles.
  • Inlet hoover boxes are cleared of any blockages.
  • Water levels are topped up during use if required.
  • Vehicle is travelling at an appropriate speed during sweeping 2-3mph.
  • Thick and stubborn debris is cleared prior to sweeping.
  • High pressure water is used in the correct manner.
  • Fuel is topped up before the day begins.
  • Oil levels are checked regularly to avoid engine ware.
The above is not a completely exhaustive list, it will however help to prevent the most common stoppages of the road sweeper and alleviate unnecessary down time.
Here at JPM Contractors Ltd all of our operators are trained in the above techniques and our machines are checked every evening to prevent these kind’s of problems arising.
