ELGIN® PELICAN® BROOM SWEEPER
Report by Terri Rodina
Part of Quality Rents’ rental inventory consists of Elgin® Pelican® broom sweepers. Continuously improved since its original design in 1914, the Pelican offers single-lane dumping, maneuverability, visibility, economy, and serviceability. It easily manages heavily compacted and bulky debris and features a cleaner, quieter operation. With the isolation-mounted and improved 360-degree visibility, there is easier service and maintenance on the Elgin Pelican.
