And who says you can't take an 'exciting' picture of a road sweeper eh? Agent Reg has managed to do it OK says Biglorryblog . Of course it helps if you have the right kind of sweeper and what better than the joint Volvo Truck and Bus Centre East Anglia/Aebi Schmidt
Now I know what you'e thinking...it's too big to get through that gap. You're probably right but it's just a bit of artistic licence on the photographer's part I'm sure to include those stripey posts...Meanwhile, as I'm sure you all know, the SK600, mounted on the specially-prepared Volvo 4x2 chassis with a six-speed manual box and left-hand-drive day cab is the only truck-mounted sweeper to have a full-width brush located behind the powerful suction nozzle (well everyone I know, knows that!) And naturally, this allows it to mechanically sweep the area that 'other' conventional sweepers can only clean by using suction. It also provides for faster sweeping across a full 2.3m width using both side and channel brushes...so now you DO know..OK? And click through here for more sweeper factoids....
The configuration of the SK600's sweeping equipment means the belly brush and channel brushes follow the contours of the road without adjustment. This leads to a longer brush life and reduced cost of replacements, while its Teflon-coated suction duct and hopper entry chute minimises damage and maximises the working life and reliability of the unit, especially when handling road planings and other hard construction materials. What's more the large, 6cu. m. hopper is of hard wearing, corrosion-free GRP and it has a tip-out angle of 60º for safe and accurate tipping; the water tank holds 1,200 litres and has a 70Bar high pressure washing system, with the front-mounted spray bar capable of dispensing 70 litres at 100Bar pressure. Golly!
