Sweeper
Technology

Walk-behind and ride-on sweepers are cost effective and simple to operate. RCM models incorporate unique technology, which improves cleaning performance and makes them easy to use.

Overthrow sweeping systems –
All RCM sweepers are equipped with overthrow sweeping systems that rotate the main brush against the direction of travel of the sweeper and throw the dirt and debris up and over the brush into a rear mounted hopper.

This system is more efficient than a forward throw system because it throws the dirt and debris from high to low, so the hopper can be deep and will be filled to around 80% of its capacity. It has the added advantage that the hopper can be larger and situated at the rear of the machine where it does not compromise visibility or manouvrability.

Front driving position and steering – All RCM ride-on sweepers feature a forward driving position and front directional wheel. This eliminates tail swing and makes the machines easier to control, reducing the chances of collision with goods or objects. It means operators drive flush with walls for efficient cleaning.

Smart Traction – Sweepers fitted with Smart Traction have two counter-rotating brushes positioned behind the main front brush. These help collect dirt and debris, and prevent operators tiring by moving the machine forward. Smart Traction is available with variable speed settings.

Dust Buster system – RCM ride-on sweepers feature the unique Dust Buster system. Vacuums fitted to the side brushes remove fine dust and dirt as the machine moves to leave floor surfaces spotlessly clean.

High capacity filters – All our sweepers have high capacity filters, which remove fine dust from the exhausted air, leaving it clean and safe to breathe. Dust shaker facilities prevent filters clogging.

Built-in chargers – We offer optional on-board battery chargers, which charge battery-driven machines as they move, and extend their range and endurance.

High-dump – Some of our sweepers feature a high-dump facility, which hydraulically raises the refuse hopper. This enables operators to automatically empty it into bins and waste bags.

Adjustable side brushes – Users can fit some of our sweepers with adjustable side brushes, which allow machines to clean different elevations at the same time.
