Stratus for contractors: One machine. Many jobs.

Cities, industries, and institutions don’t exist to clean streets. Their focus is on transport, production, services, or safety. However, when roads become cluttered, drains overflow, or debris accumulates after an event or storm, they turn to contractors. Because cleaning may not be their job, but someone has to get it done. Reliably. Visibly. Without excuses.

That’s where contractors come in. From post-festival cleanups to daily municipal routes industrial perimeters to airport loops, contractors are trusted to deliver consistent, end-to-end results. But the stakes are high. Every delay risks penalties. Every missed patch risks renewal. Every mechanical failure cuts into margins and reputation. This is a business where every minute on the road counts — and every missed one costs money.

Contract-based street cleaning is about more than sweeping. It’s about delivering outcomes under pressure. To win contracts and keep them, contractors need machines built not just for performance but for consistency, uptime, and adaptability across every zone, every client, every shift.

Hurdles in contract-based street cleaning

Missed zones, missed contracts

Contractors operate under strict SLAs and client scrutiny, where even a small missed patch, delayed start, or incomplete cleanup can trigger penalties, payment cuts, or escalations. From city streets to airport loops, every surface must be consistently clean with no excuses, or no do-overs.

Tight slots, zero margin

Most sites allow cleaning only during early hours, shift changes, or low-traffic windows. Contractors must finish on time, every time. There’s no tolerance for slow equipment, crew delays, or mid-job breakdowns in such high-pressure environments.

Downtime kills revenue

When a sweeper fails, cleaning halts and so does billing. Even a few hours of downtime during a service window can mean an entire job is lost. Contractors can’t afford machines that break easily, clog up in rain, or fail when dust, moisture, and heavy debris collide.

Slow support, big losses

Low-cost or imported machines often suffer from poor service coverage, limited parts availability, and long repair times. Delays in fixing small issues can spiral into missed SLAs, client dissatisfaction, and reputational harm

Labor problems hurt delivery

Manual cleaning teams are plagued by high turnover, absenteeism, and training gaps. Relying on semi-skilled or inconsistent labor often leads to patchy cleaning, supervision headaches, and lost productivity.

Manual doesn’t scale

Even with a full crew, manual sweeping can’t match the speed or coverage needed for large roads or multi-site contracts. Contractors struggle to scale operations or meet deadlines when forced to rely on low-efficiency methods.

Every site is different

Contractors manage diverse clients like municipalities, highways, industrial parks, and airports. Each has its own unique terrains, debris types, and access constraints. A single machine typically cannot meet all cleaning needs, resulting in gaps or underperformance.

Wrong tool, wrong job

Sweepers often miss hard-to-reach areas, such as corners, curbs, garbage dumps, or shrub-lined paths. Without the right complementary tools, even skilled teams fall short of delivering full-site cleanliness and client satisfaction.

Stratus: The right sweeper for contract cleaning

Full-site cleaning, first pass

Stratus delivers vacuum finish sweeping, litter picking, pressure washing, and clean air in one compact machine. Its wide suction path, onboard vacuum picker, and Air Blaster technology ensure no patch is left untouched. Whether it’s fine dust, festival waste, or heavy litter, Stratus cleans it all without needing multiple crews or follow-ups.

Fast, quiet, and reliable

Engineered for speed and silence, Stratus sweeps at up to 10 km/h and operates quietly enough for residential or airport zones. Quick mid-dump and forward-reverse sweeping make it ideal for tight cleaning windows. One trained operator can complete large zones before peak hours, with no breakdown drama and no missed slots.

Built to stay on the road

Stratus is engineered with globally trusted components, including Mitsubishi engines, Eaton hydraulics, Parker valves, and Donaldson filters, among others, and is built to handle heavy debris loads, long hours, and seasonal stress. Its six-stage filtration system, CycloShield™, is designed to maintain suction even in high-dust or high-humidity conditions, minimizing clogs and pressure drops. The stainless-steel hopper is rustproof and comes with a lifetime warranty. No shortcuts on durability because contractors can’t afford them.

Backed by a full ecosystem

Every Stratus comes with curated spare kits, preventive AMC plans, and access to Spruce Up Genie, a remote diagnostics and support tool. Pan-India service teams and 24-hour dispatch for 30+ critical parts mean minimal downtime. Contractors don’t have to wait for days to get back on track.

Simplified operation,  scaled delivery

Stratus is designed for high-performance cleaning without high operator dependency. With intuitive joystick controls, one-button start, and a high-visibility cabin, it’s easy to learn and operate. With Spruce Up Train Pro, contractors get structured onboarding and role-based training that equips teams to operate efficiently from day one, whether across sites, shifts, or geographies.

Do more with fewer people

Stratus replaces the need for separate manual teams for sweeping, litter picking, and washing. Its all-in-one capability ensures a single crew can complete complex tasks that previously needed three different setups. This makes it easier to scale across sites and still maintain SLA quality with lean manpower.

Versatile across zones

Stratus is built to clean where others struggle. Across highways, concrete yards, paver block lanes, tight alleys, or driveways. With its compact chassis, reverse sweeping, tight turning radius, and wide suction path, it adapts to changing layouts, debris types, and access challenges without slowing down. Whether it’s an industrial loading bay or a municipal street, Stratus delivers complete, consistent results across zones.

Complete coverage, no gaps

Where traditional sweepers stop, Stratus keeps going. Its onboard vacuum litter picker handles bulky waste and roadside trash piles. The pressure washer tackles oil stains or drain overflows. With Stratus, you’re never stuck with “almost clean.”

Contractors don’t have the luxury of trial and error. They need machines that show up, hold up, and deliver every single time, every site, every shift. Stratus is built for exactly that. It doesn’t just sweep; it drives uptime, reduces crew size, and unlocks faster, cleaner delivery across diverse cleaning jobs.

With Stratus in the fleet, contractors aren’t just meeting expectations, they’re outpacing them. Fewer machines. Fewer delays. More contracts won. More reputations protected. For contractors who clean under pressure, Stratus isn’t just a tool it’s the edge that keeps them ahead.
