She commented that improvements in productivity and effectiveness have already been achieved: “The Hurricone is great. It’s worth having just for the saving on man hours alone. We used to have a permanent member of staff by each entrance when it rains – but the Hurricone copes with that no problem. It is really useful in the area between sinks and dryers in the toilets too.”

The Hurricone cordless floor dryer assists with the drying of wet floors without any manpower requirement. Running up to 8h on a rechargeable battery, it dries to 360° and up to 15ft in diameter. The dryer comes with accessories such as a scent cartridge, flashing LED light, warning sign and motion activated anti-theft alarm.

Alistair Clayton, Commercial Director at Lixall, said, “Hurricone is ideal for use in facilities such as shopping centres, hospitals, schools –in fact any area with a throughput of footfall.  With the recent culture obsessed with injury claims, Hurricone can help to avoid slip and fall accidents, demonstrate due diligence and provide a really good visible warning to the public.’’
