Mechanised cleaning of a platform and outdoor infrastructure – Dulevo 100
Logistics platforms and outdoor infrastructure are constantly exposed to vehicle traffic and the build-up of dust, sand, gravel and other debris. For the maintenance of such surfaces, mechanising the sweeping process can reduce the volume of manual operations and can increase the efficiency of interventions.

The challenge
Logistics platforms, loading and unloading areas, car parks and access routes are surfaces exposed to constant traffic from cars, vans, lorries and handling equipment.
Dust, sand, gravel, leaves, plant matter, packaging and other debris originating from daily activity or brought in from outside can accumulate in such spaces.
The level and type of dirt can vary depending on the season, the weather conditions, the intensity of traffic and the specific nature of the activity carried out at the site.
The large areas and the distances between the different zones can mean that manual sweeping requires a significant amount of time and resources.
The main aspects to be taken into account in an application of this kind are:
- the total area to be maintained;
- the type and quantity of debris;
- vehicle and machinery traffic;
- the required frequency of interventions;
- the presence of large open surfaces;
- the areas near kerbs and obstacles;
- seasonal variations in the type of dirt;
- the need to reduce manual operations.
What we needed to solve
For an application of this kind, the main objectives are:
- mechanising the sweeping of outdoor surfaces;
- making the time allocated to cleaning operations more efficient;
- collecting dust and debris from large areas;
- less need for manual interventions;
- a larger area that can be maintained by one operator;
- the possibility of using the equipment in areas with logistics traffic;
- maintaining a constant level of cleanliness on platforms and access routes.
The solution recommended by Komarom
Dulevo 100
For the mechanised maintenance of platforms and outdoor infrastructure, the Dulevo 100 is a professional solution designed for sweeping medium-sized and large surfaces.
The equipment can be used in applications such as logistics platforms, car parks, industrial yards, loading and unloading areas, access routes and other compatible outdoor surfaces.
Mechanised sweeping for large areas
The ride-on configuration allows the operator to cover larger areas without the physical effort associated with manual sweeping or with using walk-behind equipment over long distances.
The sweeping system allows the collection of the various types of debris commonly found on outdoor platforms, depending on the specific working conditions.
Adapted to logistics and industrial environments
On a logistics platform, the equipment has to operate in an environment where there is traffic from vehicles, lorries and handling equipment.
The dimensions, manoeuvrability and configuration of the Dulevo 100 allow the machine to be integrated into the maintenance programmes of such spaces, with the working routes set according to the particular features of the site.
Dust control
For outdoor surfaces, dust control is an important criterion when choosing a sweeper.
The equipment's filtration system helps to retain the particles collected during the sweeping process and to limit the dispersal of dust.
The optimal configuration is determined according to the surface, the type of debris, the cleaning frequency and the conditions of use.
When the project allows, an on-site demonstration can be carried out to assess the sweeping result and the behaviour of the equipment under real working conditions.
Implementation
An implementation process for this application can include:
- Needs analysis
- Dulevo 100 recommendation
- Demonstration/
Testing - Configuration
- Delivery
- Training
- Support
The initial analysis looks at the total area, the types of debris, the cleaning frequency, the surface conditions and the routes the equipment has to cover.
In the case of a logistics platform, the loading and unloading areas, the car parks, the access routes and the high-traffic surfaces can be analysed separately.
Based on this information, the right configuration and the way the equipment is used can be determined.
If a demonstration is carried out, it allows the result to be assessed directly on the site's representative surfaces.
On delivery, operator training can include the correct use of the machine, the daily checks and the routine maintenance operations.
Komarom Trade Invest provides technical support, consumables, spare parts and servicing for the equipment supplied.
The results
In an application of this type, the use of a ride-on sweeper can contribute to:
- the mechanisation of sweeping operations;
- less time needed to maintain large areas;
- a larger area that can be covered by one operator;
- fewer operations carried out by hand;
- reduced physical effort for staff;
- the collection of dust and various types of debris;
- more efficient interventions on platforms and access routes;
- more uniform maintenance of the surfaces;
- more efficient organisation of the cleaning schedule.
In the case of logistics platforms, the efficiency of the solution must be assessed in relation to the total area, the type and quantity of debris, the frequency of interventions and the time available for carrying out the cleaning.
Testimonial
“The Dulevo 100 has helped us maintain the logistics platforms, car parks and access roads at our site more efficiently. The machine is robust, productive and easy to manoeuvre, efficiently collecting dust, sand and other debris from large surfaces. As a result, we can organise our cleaning activities better and reduce working time and staff effort. Our collaboration with the Komarom team has been very good, from identifying the right equipment and setting the configuration through to delivery, operator training and the technical support provided. We are satisfied with the machine’s performance and with the results achieved in the daily maintenance of our outdoor areas.”
