ProTeam GoFit 6 6 qt. Backpack Vacuum with 18-inch Carpet Sidewinder Tool Kit (106841) - 107701
An 18-inch head covers noticeably more carpet per pass than a standard floor tool, and the Sidewinder design lets that same head work the baseboard edge instead of forcing a second trip with a crevice tool. This ProTeam GoFit 6 kit pairs that tool with the 6 qt. backpack, which keeps the machine lighter on the operator than the 10 qt. while still holding a full route of debris.
Built for
- Wide low-pile carpet runs where coverage per pass decides the labor hour
- Corridors and perimeter edges that normally need a second detail tool
- Offices and call centers cleaned on a tight nightly window
- Buildings where a 6 qt. bag is the right balance of capacity and weight
Use cases and who buys it
The buyer for this configuration is usually a building service contractor, an in-house custodial supervisor or a facility manager replacing an upright. The reason is productivity: a backpack vacuum keeps the operator walking instead of pushing, reaches under desks and between fixed seating without moving furniture, and turns a two-tool job into one. ProTeam reports the GoFit platform removes up to 30 percent more soil than a canister vacuum and cleans up to three times faster than a standard upright.
Comfort and filtration
Comfort is the reason a crew actually keeps using a backpack. The GoFit 6 carries a 4-step FlexFit articulating harness modeled on hiking packs, so the weight sits on the hips rather than hanging from the shoulders, and numbered touchpoints let each operator set the fit in seconds without tools. The close-fitting profile also means fewer bumps into desks and door frames over a shift.
Filtration is a four-level ProLevel system with HEPA media, rated to capture 99.82% of particles at 0.3 to 0.5 microns per ASTM F3150. Filter service is a one-handed job: the hinged lid opens on a single quick-release die-cast aluminum latch. Use Intercept Micro filter bags in open collar 107314 or closed collar 107374.

Frequently asked questions
Which filter bags does the GoFit 6 use?
The GoFit 6 takes Intercept Micro filter bags in open collar 107314 or closed collar 107374. Two bags are included in the kit. The micro cloth filter, dome filter with foam media and HEPA media exhaust filter are all reached through the single hinged lid latch.
Why is it called a Sidewinder tool?
The Sidewinder head vacuums the open floor and the baseboard edge in the same pass. That removes the usual stop-and-swap to a crevice tool for edging, which is where a lot of vacuuming time quietly goes on a corridor route.
Is it comfortable to wear for a full shift?
The GoFit 6 uses ProTeam's 4-step FlexFit articulating harness, which is modeled on hiking packs and carries the load on the operator's hips rather than the shoulders. Numbered touchpoints let each person adjust the fit without tools, and the close-fitting profile means fewer collisions with furniture.
Is the filtration HEPA?
Yes. The ProLevel Filtration System uses HEPA media in a four-level stack. The GoFit 6 is rated to capture 99.82% of particles at 0.3 to 0.5 microns per ASTM F3150, which is why these machines are common in schools, clinics and other buildings with indoor air quality requirements.
