Ground Clearance Sensor

A ground clearance sensor measures the distance between sweep equipment and the road surface during operation. Maintaining consistent clearance helps optimise debris collection while reducing contact wear on brushes and nozzles.

Systems may use ultrasonic or proximity sensing to monitor clearance and relay information to the vehicle control system for guidance or adjustment.

Ground clearance monitoring is especially useful on compact road sweepers working uneven surfaces, and it supports effective dust control alongside dust suppression jets on sensitive routes.
