Rugged Industries Pty Ltd

Australian Owned, Australian Designed, Australian Made.

More than 3 decades of manufacturing and design experience, we provide our customers a broad range of backpack vacuum cleaners, that suit bespoke vacuuming applications.

We’re proud to be an Australian-born product and strive to uphold our name. As the world’s first commercial bagless cyclone backpack vacuum cleaner, we manufacture locally to ensure efficient quality control and product reliability.

Our Advantage bagless vacuum cleaner won the Inclean Innovation Award in 2017 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and for this design, we have Australian Patents and Innovative Design Patents. We are the first company in the world to incorporate axial cyclone technology swirl blades into a vacuum cleaner. This tech means that our machine is not only easy to clean but also more efficient in cleaning.

Our Australian Made Impress, Exite and D'Lite Backpack Vacuum Cleaners are designed for cleaners needing added comfort for extended vacuuming shifts. They are lightweight, low noise, long life, vacuum cleaners, with high level HEPA filtration, and low operating cost. All of our backpack vacuum cleaners use rinsible HEPA filter, auxiliary power outlet, 32mm antimicrobial “crush proof hose”, rust resistant light weight stainless rods, low profile EZ2GO floor tool, crevice tool, dusting brush, 10 paper filters, and spare antimicrobial cloth filter bag.
