Five Centurion© demo units will soon undergo a thorough inspection and
updating process by Wayne Sweepers, LLC. These units will receive new
brooms, brushes, mechanical parts, shrouds, and paint, as well as a
comprehensive mechanical inspection. Once the process is completed, the
sweepers will be available as rental units.
The Centurion© rental units will precede new Wayne Centurion© production
units. This provides customers a great opportunity to “try it before you buy
it.” Aside from a few improvements, the new production Centurions© will be
very similar to the units produced under the Tennant© label. This means you
can expect the same high quality and consistent performance from the Wayne
Centurion© as from the Tennant Centurion©.
If you have any questions about obtaining a Centurion© Rental unit, please call 319.266.1721 or email mwatje@wayneusa.com.
