products and services DISINFECTING WIPES Spartan announces a new addition to their line of disinfecting wipes. Spartan’s Hard Surface Disinfecting Wipes are now available in the famous NABC fresh scent. The high-quality, durable, seven-inch by eight-inch wipes are packaged 125 to a canister, with six canisters in each case. The wipes combat bacteria and viruses on hard, non-porous surfaces and are effective against the most common germs, bac-teria and viruses found in commercial facilities. With Spartan’s Hard Surface Disinfecting Wipes, there is no need to spray disinfectant into the air, minimizing the risk of respiratory problems as well as overspray onto sensitive equipment. SWEEPER Tornado’s SWB 26/8 battery-powered walk-behind sweeper is the perfect replacement for corded wide-area vacuum cleaners. The SWB 26/8 has a 26-inch-wide cleaning path, and the user can clean both carpeting and hard surface floors without needing to change tools or brushes, making it a true cost saver. “Overthrow” sweeping technology in the SWB 26/8 ensures that all debris, be it large or small, is picked up and tossed into the hopper quickly and efficiently. And, the side brush reaches deep into corners and edges to collect dirt and debris. Tornado Industries Inc.

Trojan’s deep-cycle AGM batteries are tolerant to low temperatures, shock-resistant and have a low internal resistance for higher discharge current and high charging efficiency.
