New Powerboss Nautilus HD Diesel
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Nautilus HD Diesel is the one we steer people toward for heavy outdoor and plant work, where a sweeper-scrubber runs long shifts away from any charging station. It scrubs a 45 in path with two 12 in cylindrical brushes at up to 400 lb of down pressure, and the brushes sweep debris into the hopper in the same pass, so you are not running a sweeper ahead of a scrubber. Optional side brushes take the path to 60 in scrubbing or 62 in sweeping. The HD is the high-dump model: the 3.89 cu ft stainless steel hopper lifts hydraulically and dumps at variable heights up to 60 in, straight into a dumpster. Power comes from a 1.5 L Kubota V1505 diesel, rated at 24.8 hp at 2,300 rpm. With 90 gal solution and recovery tanks, it covers a lot of ground between fills. Keep the size in mind: it is 95 in long and weighs 3,250 lb empty, so check your aisles, ramps and floor loading first.”
