Vacuum sewerage is a mechanized system of wastewater
transport. Unlike gravity flow, it uses differential air
pressure to move the wastewater. It requires a central
source of power to run vacuum pumps which maintain
vacuum on the collection system . The
system requires a normally closed vacuum/gravity
interfacevalveat each entrypointtosealthelinessothat
vacuum is maintained. These valves, located in a pit,
open when a predetermined amount of wastewater
accumulates in the collecting sump. The resulting
differential pressure between atmosphere and vacuum
becomes the driving force that propels the wastewater
towards the vacuum station.

Vacuum Digging and Gross Pollutant Traps That Leave You Cleaner Workspaces Us...Aussie Hydro-Vac Services
Gross pollutant traps</a> (GPT) trap solid waste such as litter and coarse sediments using physical processes. These are commonly used as primary treatment to remove large, non-biodegradable pollutants, typically larger than 5 mm in size, from the water system. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services installs gross pollutant traps to catch stormwater pollution before it enters the waterway. It acts as a filter, retaining litter while allowing water to pass through. The use of gross pollutant traps as a pre-treatment for stormwater harvesting systems is also possible. GPT, on the other hand, must be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure that water can flow through while the collected trash does not leach pollution into the water.

Stormwater managers have many options to choose from in street
sweeping and catch basin cleaning equipment. BY DON TALEND
T
wo common best manage-
ment practices (BMPs)
that municipalities can
use to manage nonpoint-
source pollutants under
a National Pollutant Discharge Elimi-
nation System (NDPES) stormwater
permit are street sweeping and catch
basin cleaning. Stormwater manag-
ers have plenty of equipment options
available for these tasks.
Street sweeping equipment, in par-
ticular, has seen an evolution in recent
years. Johnston North America points
out that street sweeping is a non-
structural source control. These types
of controls prevent pollutants from
entering stormwater flows through the
expansion of cleanup programs, such
as street sweeping, sidewalk sweeping,
cleaning of storm drains, and enforce-
ment actions against illicit dischargers.
EPA and the states have recently
focused on small debris particles
(PM10
, or particles with a diameter
of 10 microns or less) because heavy
metals and other pollutants have been
shown to attach to them. These par-
ticles become total suspended solids
during rainfall and fugitive dust that
gets blown around in dry weather. As
a result of this emphasis, manufactur-
ers are attempting to facilitate the
effective removal of these fines.
Recent efforts to better deal with the
tricky challenge of keeping the finest
dust out of stormwater have resulted in
more than one type of street sweeper.
Stormwater managers can choose from
among mechanical broom sweepers,
vacuum sweepers, regenerative air
sweepers, and new dry sweepers.
FederalSignal

street sweepers has emerged. Dry
sweepers work without using water
and have robust filtration systems for
dust containment. An example of a
dry sweeper is Schwarze Industries’
EV-series machines. These units clean
pavement across the full width of the
sweeping head and are equipped with
a self-cleaning filtration system that fil-
ters dust output down to 2.5 microns.
Below is a list of pavement sweep-
ing and catch basin cleaning machines.
Federal Signal (Elgin Sweeper,
Vactor Manufacturing)
The Megawind combination leaf
and debris vacuum and catch basin
cleaner from Elgin Sweeper features
an optional street sweeper system.
The large 12-inch leaf and debris hose
system features an articulated power
boom with 180-degree rotation sup-
ported by a high-performance vacuum
system and large-capacity debris body.
The machine is engineered for
Mechanical broom sweepers typi-
cally are equipped with a main broom
that moves side to side. Many also
have gutter brooms on one or both
sides of the machine. Typically, they
are also equipped with a conveyor
system and collection hopper.
Vacuum sweepers have an engine
that powers a fan to generate a
vacuum. On many models, the sweep-
ing head has an intake for dust and
debris. These machines exhaust the air
that was used to pull up debris.
Regenerative air systems were
designed with the idea of picking up
PM10
effectively, cleaning a wider path,
and minimizing the return of dust
into the atmosphere. These machines
have a vacuum inlet on one side of the
sweeping head and continually recir-
culate their air supply internally by
blasting the air into the sweeping head
on the side opposite the inlet. As the
sweeping head moves across the pave-
ment, the air is blasted down onto the
pavement on one side of the head and
travels across the width of the head,
gathering debris in the process. The
swirling air is carried up the pickup
hose on the other side with the debris.
Besides PM10
, these machines also pick
up larger, light material such as leaves,
as well as heavier construction debris.
They use water for dust suppression.
In recent years, a fourth class of

pickup and flexibility
to handle debris from
compacted dirt, gravel,
sand and bulky debris
to leaves and other
smaller particles found
in the street and in catch
basins. The unit is avail-
able on a conventional
chassis or a premium
Nissan Diesel UD3300
chassis, with right-hand
steering or optional
dualized steering.
The machine has a
patent-pending articu-
lated boom design that
controls the vacuum
hose. It allows a full,
180 degrees of boom
travel and more than
200 degrees of hose
reach while allowing fingertip hose positioning anywhere in
a 10-foot radius. The design allows the vacuum hose to fold
inward on itself, within the rear profile of the sweeper, dur-
ing transportation, dumping or while not in use.
The vacuum hose on the Megawind has a maximum
lift height of nearly 14 feet when the boom is completely
unfolded. The standard heavy-duty flex hose is equipped
with a manual rear-gate valve that allows the operator to
cut off airflow to the hose and retain debris in the hopper
during transport, without the use of a clamp-on blanking
plate. Pendant controls include throttle up/down, shoulder
in/out, elbow in/out, lift up/down and engine throttle con-
trol. A wireless remote control intended for added operator
convenience is also available.
The system features a powerful fan with a rating of
30,000 CFM of airflow for removal of debris from catch
basins.
The optional street sweeper system features ergonomic
controls and Elgin Sweeper’s Memory Sweep, which allows
the operator to resume all previous sweeper settings with
one-touch control.
The machine is available with debris hopper capacities
from 10 to 15 cubic yards. The hopper is constructed of
10-gauge steel walls and a 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) thick floor
with drop-down screens for quick cleanup. Designed to
maximize the life, durability, and functionality of the hop-
per, an optional LifeLiner hopper liner and finish system is
available. Efficient dumping is intended with a 50-degree
tilt angle.
Vactor Manufacturing offers the Vactor 2100 Plus CB,
engineered to provide all of the benefits of the Vactor 2100
Plus combination sewer cleaner, including improved air
flow, operator ergonomics, enhanced safety, smart truck
design, and standard high dump on a tandem axle chassis.
An improved air-routing system is designed to provide an
efficient air flow path for both the single- and dual-stage
fan or a positive displacement blower configuration. The
machine is built with ergonomic controls for easy operation
and maintenance.
Exclusive features of the machine include standard
600-gallon water capacity for single axle and standard

and a wash-down system capable of
10 gallons per minute at 600 psi.
GapVax Inc.
The manufacturer’s MC Advanced
Series combination jet-vac is
equipped with a CAN Bus system,
allowing the operator to observe and
troubleshoot the entire system. The
display screen controls the hydraulics,
blower, and water pump operations
with a complete set of gauges. All
body functions, boom and hose reel
functions, vacuum break, throttle,
area and safety lighting are wirelessly
controlled. Even with the wireless
technology, the company stresses an
emphasis on maintaining proportional
boom and hose reel control.
A mid-ship transfer case directs
the power of the engine to the blower
and hydraulic system. The transfer
case is rated at 500 continuous hp
and the transfer case mount is vibra-
tion isolated with four isolators.
The machine also features a unit-
ized cylindrical water/debris tank with
a full longsill subframe, a 3/16-inch
non-corroding stainless steel water
compartment, and a 3/16-inch high-
strength carbon steel debris compart-
ment. It comes with a full-opening rear
door; a non-corroding stainless steel
ring is designed to ensure a liquid-tight
seal. The unit also has dual lift cylin-
ders to open the rear door.
The MC Advanced Series machine
is equipped with a material-backed
air inlet and a top-loaded debris
compartment intended for maximum
debris capacity. Material is loaded at
the rear of the compartment for fast
unloading. A debris compartment
inlet diffuser is engineered to reduce
material carryover.
For vacuum performance, the
machine has a rotary lobe positive
displacement blower and a direct
shaft drive. The blower mount is
vibration isolated by four isolators.
A specifically engineered absorption
silencer is used to maximize sound
dampening.
A debris compartment inlet dif-
fuser directs material from the air-
stream and a specifically engineered
centrifugal separator forces the dust
and mist from the airstream into
a large-capacity compartment. Air
passes a final micro-screen strainer
before entering the blower.
The boom is designed to work
as one with the chassis because the
machine is equipped with a structural
steel torque box. The boom also
has heavy-duty dual lift cylinders,
180 degrees of rotation, 8-inch flow
capacity, and 3/16-inch tube design
engineered for minimum friction and
long compartment life.
A high-pressure water pump
designed to use recycled water is
rated at 50 to 100 gpm at 2,000 to
3,000 psi. The pump is a positive
displacement Tri-plex plunger style.
The machine also features 4-inch
cross I-beams for rigidity, a full body
pivot pin through the rear of the sub-
frame for dumping stability, a double-
acting three-stage dump cylinder
intended to substantially extend the
life of the chassis suspension, and a

and engineered for 800 feet of 1-inch
hose. Hydraulic power tilt is included
so that the reel can be easily moved
to open the hood for daily inspection.
A telescopic reel is optional. The units
are supplied with positive displace-
ment rotary lobe “Rootstype” blowers.
The blowers are engineered to utilize
minimal horsepower for maximum
performance and increase efficiency.
An optional unloader valve allows
for complete control of water flow and
pressure independent from vacuum
power. The valve permits the use of
various nozzles for various applications.
Johnston North America
Johnston began manufacturing street
sweepers in 1937 and began produc-
ing the world’s first vacuum street
sweepers in 1958. The company has
sold more than 3,000 units in North
America. There, the company’s most
popular models for addressing storm-
water management are the VT651
Vacuum Sweeper, the RT655 Regen-
erative Air Sweeper, the C201 Com-
pact Vacuum Sweeper, and the CN101
Sub-Compact Street Sweeper.
All of the models use a fan system
to generate air flow that creates an
internal negative pressure, drawing
any debris caught under the vacuum
nozzle—in the case of the RT655,
under the 93-inch full-width sweeping
hood—into an air stream and up into
a 8.5-cubic-yard stainless steel debris
hopper. The debris hoppers are war-
ranted for the life of the sweeper.
The VT651 has a reported indus-
try-low 79-Dba level outside the cab
and 68-Dba level inside the cab. The
larger sweepers feature direct-coupled
impellor fans through an adjustment
free step-up gearbox that is designed
to maximize energy transfer and mini-
mize fuel consumption all without the
need for belt adjustments.
On all of these models, an optional
catch basin cleaning hose is avail-
able. The idea is to allow catch basin
cleaning in addition to street sweeping
without the need to purchase separate
pieces of equipment.
Schwarze Industries
This manufacturer’s A-series regenera-
tive air sweepers continuously reuse
the air created by the sweeper’s fan
system, a system designed to reduce
the amount of polluted exhaust air. The
entire airblast and suction process takes
place under the enclosed, full-width
sweeping head, creating a sweeping
path that reportedly is more than 50%
wider than a typical vacuum sweeper’s
broom and-head system.
The company’s sweepers also
feature 44-inch gutter brooms and
a large debris intake tube that is
included to prevent clogging and
allow them to easily handle bulky
debris. For extremely heavy, packed-
down debris, Schwarze sweepers
offer the Gutter Broom Extension
Override, which allows one or both
gutter brooms to be operated inboard,
directly in front of the sweeping head.
This feature is activated by a switch in
the cab. Most A-series sweepers may
be outfitted with a patented Mechani-
Pneumatic Powerhood that features
a full-width windrow broom located
inside the sweeping head upstream
of the air pickup system; the broom
is completely contained under the
sweeping head, a feature engineered
for environmental benefit.
An air bleeder system is designed
to allow the addition of outside air
in certain sweeping situations, such
as during fall leaf removal and when
sweeping light, dusty material.
High-dumping A-series sweeper
models that offload directly into
dump trucks are also available. Also
available is a 12-V backup auxiliary
system that operates the hydraulics in
the event of a catastrophic hydraulic
system failure and that allows the hop-
per to be offloaded without use of the
auxiliary engine.
The company’s WhisperWheel
sweeping system utilizes engineering

modifications to the blower fan, the
fan housing, and the airflow design of
the entire debris path. The system is
said to increase pickup power by as
much as 7%, provide auxiliary engine
fuel savings of up to 20%, and reduce
sound output by more than 70%.
Stewart-Amos Sweeper Co.
The company offers chassis-mounted
mechanical broom and regenerative
air street sweepers. Stewart-Amos
manufactures five PM10
-certified
Starfire mechanical broom units in 4-,
5-, and 6-cubic-yard hopper sizes, in
single- or dual-engine versions. The
sweepers are equipped with gutter
brooms to direct curbside road debris
to a large main broom that sweeps
fine dust and large road soilage into
an elevator system that deposits it
into a debris hopper. The units have
large water tanks and spray nozzles
for dust control.
The Starfire S-4 is designed for
compactness and maneuverability. It
requires no CDL license to operate,
cleans a 10-foot path, has a 4-cubic-
yard debris hopper, and dumps up to
10 feet, 2 inches off the ground. The
Starfire S-6 comes with either a single
or dual engine, sweeps a 12-foot path,
and dumps over 12 feet. Both S-6
models employ a unique top-loading
elevator engineered to maximize
debris loading and productivity.
All Starfire mechanical broom mod-
els are equipped with a three-shaft
elevator system; the third shaft is posi-
tioned in the center of the elevator to
better support the chain assembly and
reduce chain link wear. This feature
is also intended to minimize periodic
maintenance by providing twice the
amount of available chain adjustment
compared with two-shaft designs. It
is also designed to create a free flow
zone that helps prevent clogging by
larger debris.
Starfire models also have a quad
scissor hopper lift system that uses
four massive hopper scissors rather
than two, a feature engineered to
ensure hopper stability when dump-
ing sticky, unbalanced, or wet loads.
The system also allows for longer
dump doors, which keep the sweeper
body away from trucks and dump-
sters and is designed to load recepta-
cles more efficiently. Spring-balanced,
auto-compensating gutter brooms
adjust downward as the brush wears,
a design intended to sweep curbs
more effectively.
The company also manufactures
two mid-sized regenerative air units
mounted on non-CDL chassis. The
Galaxy R-4 is a 4.65-cubic-yard-
capacity high dump unit. The Galaxy
R-6 has a 6.12-cubic-yard capacity and
discharges at the chassis frame level.
Both Galaxy models have standard
stainless steel hoppers for easy clean-
ing, with a five-year no-rust-through
factory warranty. Bolt-together stain-
less steel hopper panels are provided
as an alternative to replacing damaged
hoppers. Hopper top access doors
automatically open when the hopper
dumps for unlimited access to stain-
less steel debris separator screens and
easier inspection and cleaning. These
models are intended for tighter, more
confined areas like cul-de-sacs, narrow
streets, alleyways, and under tree-lined
streets and low-hanging signs. These
cabover trucks are also designed for
high visibility and to eliminate the
need for dual steering.
Super Products
The company’s Camel Sewer and
Catch Basin Cleaners feature a Triplex
water pump design intended to provide
smooth-acting, surge-free flow and pres-
sure. A positive displacement vacuum
pump is engineered to ensure maxi-
mum vacuum and air flow at all engine
speeds and allows material to be vacu-
umed above or below the surface.

capacity up to 1,500 gallons (5,677
L) and are constructed of 3/8-inch
(9.5-mm) rotationally molded, non-
cross linked polyethylene with an
ultraviolet stabilizer for strength and
durability. The machine also comes
with a wastewater recycling system
intended to reduce the need for
potable water.
Owners can customize their own
storage for tools and accessories with
a wide selection of different sized
storage boxes. The debris collector
body is constructed of 1/4-inch (19-
mm) Exten high-strength, low-alloy,
abrasion-resistant steel designed to
withstand vacuum levels of 367
inches (93.22 mm) of water. Body
sizes are available that offer debris
capacities of 6.5 cubic yards (4.9
square meters), 10.8 cubic yards (8.2
square meters), and 16 cubic yards
(12.2 square meters).
The rear door has aluminum tub-
The Camel also features an ejector
plate unloading system engineered to
safely and effectively remove all debris
from the collector body with minimal
cleanup. An internal body flush-out
system is designed to make cleanup
fast and easy. To prevent overfilling of
the collector body, an automatic stain-
less steel dual float ball system is in
place. The Camel is also available with
the standard “tip-to-dump” method
that raises the body up to a 50-degree
angle with a telescopic hydraulic cylin-
der. All controls for discharging debris
are located curbside of the chassis cab.
The Camel’s single-engine design
is intended to lower sound levels
and reduce maintenance and fuel
consumption. This design also allows
the vacuum, water, and hydraulic
pumps to operate efficiently while the
transmission is in neutral. A front-
mounted control console is designed
to make it easy and safe to operate
many functions including the Camel’s
water and vacuum pumps, PTO on/
off switches, water flow control and
pressure gauge, electronic engine
throttle, and reel directional valve
and speed controls. A wireless remote
control system is also available.
A CAN Bus wiring system with an
LED digital display screen replaces
individual analog wiring systems and
is configured to offer quick, con-
venient troubleshooting to reduce
vehicle downtime.

Grant Whittle
Specifiers across No.America
have struggled with achieving
consistent product quality with
CIPP pipe & culvert liners.This
presentation offers specifiers an
explanation of the integrated engineering
controls that are available to ensure quality
with UV CIPP liners.The influence of varying field
conditions must be properly managed to achieve a
consistent “as-built” product. Manufacturing, design,
and construction controls require intentional integration
with the liner system in order to enable consistent compliance of
the “as-built” with the “as-specified.” This presentation will address
how available engineering controls can assist project managers to more
reliably avoid liner imperfections that can otherwise prevent specification
compliance and interfere with expected life-cycle performance.

ing designed for ruggedness with
available storage of up to 48 feet
(14.6 meters). An optional hydraulic
fold down rack is available.
The hose reel can be front- or
mid-mounted on the unit. The front-
mounted hose reel offers manual
180-degree rotation and has capacity
up to 1,000 feet (304.8 meters) of
1-inch (25.4-mm) hose. The mid-
mounted hose reel, which can hold
600 feet (182.9 meters) of 1-inch
hose, features a hose reel tensioning
and automatic level wind system.
With a “tube inside the tube”
design, the Camel’s 8-foot hydraulic
telescopic boom is capable of pro-
viding a vertical lift up to 22 feet
(6.71 meters), extending up to 26
feet (7.92 meters), and lifting up to
1,000 pounds (454 kg). The 8-inch
(203.22-mm) I.D. vacuum system
comes with a reinforced elbow built
for strength and durability. All boom
positioning functions can be per-
formed using the standard removable
wired pendant or an optional wireless
remote control.
The machine has three modes of
conveying material. Like a centrifu-
gal fan, the air conveyance mode
moves material with air, which
must be present to convey mate-
rial. The pure vacuum mode
moves material with vacuum,
similar to a vane-type pump
used in septic tank units. A
combination of both methods,
the Fluidizing Tube removes material
from beneath the liquid surface by
pure vacuum, then injects air into the
system to carry material into the col-
lector body via air conveyance.
A Super Pak dewatering system
separates the material and water by
allowing the driver to move the ejec-
tor plate and speed up the draining
process, reportedly squeezing out up
to 98% of liquid through a 6-inch
drain located on the collector body.
The system is designed to result in
fewer trips to the dump site, lower
operating fuel costs, and less messy
dumped loads.
A high-torque, variable-speed, syn-
chronous vacuum pump final drive is
engineered to handle a wide variety
of blower applications and ratings
up to 27 inches Hg and 5,500 cubic
feet per minute. It is designed to be
quieter, with no gear backlash noise
or high-speed gear whine. The simple
design uses no intermediate gear
boxes, clutches, or electronics.
Tymco
Tymco manufactures several regener-
ative air sweepers, from small parking
lot sweepers like the Model 210h to
larger machines like the Model 600,
with a hopper capacity of 7.3 cubic
yards and a 99-hp John Deere auxil-
iary engine. Because the regenerative
air system uses little horsepower the
Model 600 is designed around this
smaller, more fuel-efficient engine.
The Model 600 uses full-width
air blast and suction to pick up even
heavy debris such as dirt and gravel.
It is also available with an optional
broom assist head. The operator can
choose from within the cab when
to use broom-assisted sweeping—for
example, to loosen packed debris.
The unit’s 43-inch diameter gut-
ter brooms also remove debris from
curbs, gutters, and around obstacles
such as parked vehicles. An optional
tilt adjuster enables the broom to
reach into deeper curbs and gutters.
Other features of the gutter broom
include automatically determined
pressure required to dislodge debris,
and automatic retraction and rede-
ployment when the broom encoun-
ters an immovable object.
The Tymco Model 600 is the only
sweeper with a high-efficiency cen-
trifugal dust separator, which controls
dust with less water.
Vac-Con
This manufacturer has sold nearly
7,000 units since 1986. Its Combina-
tion Machine employs a two-engine
design that is engineered for opera-
tor safety and comfort. The deck-
mounted auxiliary engine drives the
water system, which features flow
rates from 10 to 120 gallons per min-
ute at 28 to 170 hp. Using the auxil-

iary engine to drive the water system
allows the chassis engine to remain
at idle during flushing, which reduces
fuel usage, reduces heat exposure for
the operator, and reduces noise. By
running the system from the front
operator’s station, the operator is
safer because the task occurs away
from oncoming traffic.
Currently the company offers two
types of auxiliary engines: a 140-
hp diesel engine or a 220-hp V-10
gasoline engine. With installation of an
optional hydraulic pump, the chassis
can be turned off, allowing for addi-
tional fuel savings of about 3 gallons
per hour. Reducing the chassis idle
time by three hours each day reduces
the truck’s carbon footprint by 18
metric tons each year, accord-
ing to the manufacturer.
The vacuum
system is driven
hydrostatically by
the chassis engine.
An exclusive three-
stage centrifugal
compressor or pos-
itive displacement
rotary lobe
blower gener-
ates vacuum,
depending on
the customer’s
requirements.
The company
now offers a large
displacement hydrostatic
pump that allows the operator to run
the chassis at much lower engine
speeds, further enhancing fuel savings
and noise abatement. The combina-
tion of a three-stage compressor and
an optional stainless steel silencer is
intended to further decrease noise
emissions.
Water system options include
debris body flushout and a low-pres-
sure handgun. The addition of a hydro
excavation package virtually turns a
combination machine into a hydro
excavator at a fraction of the cost of
purchasing an additional machine.
The operator can gain further insight
to potential failures or blockages by
installing the Inspector Cam video
inspection system.
The Hi-Dump a dumping system
allows the operator to dump the
tank into a 60-inch-tall container, a
configuration designed to allow the
operator to keep the machine on the
job flushing and vacuuming instead
of transporting the spoils to land-
fills. The Omnibus operating system
consists of CAN Bus technology that
includes operational instruction, truck
chassis interface, complete Vac-Con
system diagnostics, wireless remote
controls, and programmed safety
features in one centrally mounted
computer controller. The Power-
Flex flexible telescopic boom has an
articulating elbow similar to that of a
backhoe. The boom can telescope 10
feet, extending its reach up to 28.5
feet, and articulate up to 110 degrees.
The Vanguard anti-microbial/
anti-bacterial washdown system is
designed to be an advancement in
operator safety. This system allows the
operator to wash down any tool or
hose that has been in contact with into
a storm or sanitary sewer system with
Quaternary ammonia.
Wayne Sweepers
This relative newcomer to the
sweeper market has had presence
in the severe-duty truck market for
more than 50 years. The company
emphasizes its on-demand hydraulic
technology that is designed for a
more efficient use of hydraulics and
fuel savings. The technology has
been developed to make the opera-
tion of the control system, as well
as pumps, more efficient. According
to the manufacturer, the technology
provides stormwater managers with
diesel fuel savings of 3 to 5 gallons
per truck per day.
Wayne also emphasizes its patented
POD (power-on-demand) system
that has been developed in partner-
ship with Eaton Hydraulics, which is
standard with all models. All of the
manufacturer’s models are PM10-cer-
tified. On-screen, onboard diagnostics
are possible without the need for an
external computer, using a CAN Bus
system for all sweeper controls, which
reduces wiring and diagnostic time.
The manufacturer’s Gladiator
sweeper features a 5-cubic-yard
hopper, a 74-horsepower Kubota
auxiliary engine, or an optional John
Deere 99-hp engine; a squeegee-type
conveyor system with replaceable
flights; a 340-gallon
water tank; a 60-inch
main broom with
35.5-inch diam-
eter; 44-inch-
diameter dual
gutter brooms;
interchange-
able broom and
conveyor motors;
a rear air suspen-
sion; 12,000
pounds of scissor
lift capacity; advanced
load-sensing hydraulics;
and a multiplexed control
system with a color LCD display.
Options include an auxiliary front
mount broom, a sweeper wash down
system, a GPS integrated control
system, in-cab broom down pressure
control, and a broom miles swept
meter. The company also offers its
single-engine Warrior model, which
has been in production for more than
two years.
