Open carpet is quick. The time on a commercial route goes into the edges: baseboards, the gaps between office partitions, the channels behind file cabinets. The ProTeam GoFit 6 PLUS 107709 pairs a 6 qt. backpack with the 106820 15-inch Carpet Sidewinder Tool Kit, a side-entry head built to run along those edges instead of turning to face them.
Use Cases
- Detail vacuuming along baseboards and wall lines on low-pile carpet
- Cleaning between cubicle partitions, file cabinets and pedestal desks
- Cut-in work before or after a wide-area vacuum or an autoscrubber pass
- Office and school routes where edge dirt is the visible complaint
The 4-step FlexFit articulating harness is the reason crews stay on the machine through a full shift. It is built like a hiking pack, so the load rides on the hips instead of the shoulders, and the numbered touchpoints let one operator hand the unit to the next without hunting for a tool. The close-fitting profile also keeps the canister off door frames and desk legs as you move.
Filtration is the other half of the job. The ProLevel Filtration System with HEPA media pulls 99.82% of particles 0.3-5 microns per ASTM F3150, so the dust you lift out of a carpet does not come back out of the exhaust into the room you just cleaned. The hinged lid opens with one hand on a single quick-release die-cast aluminum latch, which is what makes a filter-bag change a 20-second task on the cart rather than a trip back to the closet.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Sidewinder tool for?
It is a detail carpet tool for low-pile carpet along baseboards, crevices and the gaps between office partitions and file cabinets.
Should this be the only floor tool on the machine?
For edge-heavy routes it can be. For large open carpet, most crews add a wider carpet or Xover head and keep the Sidewinder for cut-in.
Is there an 18-inch version?
Yes, item 107710 pairs the same vacuum with the 106841 18-inch Sidewinder kit. Item 107711 adds a hard surface Sidewinder alongside the 15-inch carpet head.
Does it work on hard floor?
This kit is the carpet version. For hard floor as well, choose 107711, which includes the 15-inch hard surface Sidewinder tool.
