Mechanical Road Sweeper

A mechanical road sweeper is a road cleaning vehicle that relies on rotating brushes to move debris off the surface and into a collection system. It is typically chosen where solid material such as grit, gravel, or heavier detritus needs to be cleared efficiently.

During operation, side brooms sweep material towards a central pick-up area, where it is transferred into a hopper for containment and disposal. This approach is commonly used on heavier-duty routes and may be specified alongside a truck-mounted sweeper where additional capacity or endurance is required.

Mechanical sweeping is often planned as part of highways and road maintenance services, particularly where route scheduling and safe depot procedures support consistent coverage.
