The SK400 sweeps away the competition

Aebi Schmidt boasts the broadest range of sweeper technology products worldwide and is now emerging as a prominent provider of truck mounted sweepers in the UK domestic market. The SK400 truck mount sweeper is especially designed for cleaning municipal streets and urban areas. With the dimensions of a compact sweeper, the SK400 can be easily used in narrow, difficult to access city centre areas and therefore is suitable for a wide range of applications.

David Harvey, Aebi Schmidt’s Project Manager said; “The hopper has a capacity of 4m³, meaning that the SK400 incorporates all the advantages of a large street sweeping machine and the maneuverability of a compact sweeper. The high tip hopper (1.5m height) allows the swept debris to be easily tipped into a skip or onto a landfill site.”

The SK 400 offers a sweeping width of 2,050mm and is equipped with a centre mounted roller brush between the axles (switchable from left to right). A fully maneuverable channel brush and suction nozzle assembly ensures that the entire sweeping width is thoroughly and mechanically cleaned. The trailing sweep gear eliminates the possibility of damage occurring as the brushes and nozzles are ‘pulled’ over any potential obstacles.

The equipment is self cleaning and regulating as David Harvey explained: “A pneumatically driven water pump provides the channel brushes and suction nozzles with water, therefore ensuring dust-free collection of dirt.” David added “The sweeping units and suction fan are driven from an efficient and powerful 36.5 kW EuroMot IIIA Kubota auxiliary engine, resulting in increased productivity and reduced fuel consumption.”
