Industry

Warehousing & logistics sweeping & scrubbing

Warehouse floors do not get dirty gently — forklift tyres lay down rubber, pallets shed dust and dock doors let the weather in. We work around live racking and running shifts, and we scrub floors back to concrete rather than just moving the dust to the next aisle.

In short

Wombat Sweepers provides sweeping, scrubbing and pressure cleaning for warehousing & logistics sites across South East Queensland. Walk-behind and compact ride-on machines that fit between the racking legs. Walk-behind sweeper is the usual machine. Weekly is the typical cycle. Commercial, industrial and civil only.

What we clean on these sites

Every quote starts with a walk of the site, so the scope matches what is actually there rather than a template. On warehousing & logistics work, these are the areas that usually make the list.

Racking aisles and pick faces

Walk-behind and compact ride-on machines that fit between the racking legs.

Dock aprons and hardstand

Where the yard grit gets tracked in and where trailers drop their debris.

Forklift traffic lanes

Black rubber build-up scrubbed off so the line marking is visible again.

Yard, laydown and container areas

Sealed external areas swept before the material walks inside.

Warehousing & logistics

The machines we bring

Sending the wrong machine wastes everybody's morning. Here is what normally rolls off the truck for this kind of site.

Walk-behind sweeper

Aisles, back-of-house and anywhere the clearance is tight.

Ride-on scrubber

The only machine that removes rubber and ingrained grime from a concrete slab.

Industrial vacuum

Fine dust and wet pick-up around production and fit-out work.

Warehousing & logistics

What goes wrong without it

Dust on the stock

Fine dust settles on cartons and shrink wrap. In food and pharma facilities that is an audit finding, not an aesthetic issue.

Wear on the machinery

Grit on a slab is an abrasive. It shortens forklift tyre life and chews out slab joints and floor coatings.

Invisible line marking

Rubber film over aisle markings and pedestrian walkways undermines the traffic-management plan you paid to set up.

Warehousing & logistics

A schedule that actually holds

Frequency is driven by how fast material arrives on the surface, not by the calendar. These are the cycles we see work in practice.

Weekly

High-throughput distribution centres and transport depots.

Monthly

Industrial estates, warehouse hardstand and business park access roads.

Shutdown scrub

A full scrub during a planned shutdown or stocktake, when the aisles are clear.

Warehousing & logistics — common questions

Something else? Call 1300 387 713 and talk to someone who runs the machines.

Can you work while the shift is running?

Yes — we plan the run around your pick paths and work aisle by aisle. For the heaviest scrubbing we would rather take a night shift or a shutdown window.

Are your operators inducted?

Every operator is trained and site-inducted before starting, and we will supply whatever documentation your facility or auditor requires with the quote.

Sweeping or scrubbing — which do we need?

Sweeping removes loose material; scrubbing removes what is stuck to the concrete. Most warehouses need sweeping on a cycle and scrubbing periodically on top.

Do you handle the external yard as well?

Yes. Sweeping the sealed yard and dock apron is the cheapest way to keep material from being tracked onto the slab in the first place.
