5.2 General design of sweeper
(1.) Suspension system; (2.) –Dirt tank; (3.) –Sweeping roller; (4.) –Side brush; (5.) –Hydraulic system; (6.) -
Sprinkler; (8.) –Supporting wheel;
The sweeper’s suspension system (1) mounted on the frame via pivot allows rotation and work
before or after the carrier vehicle and the operation of the machine at an angle. The sweeping roller
(3) driven by a hydraulic motor directs the dust to the tank (2), which emptying is carried from the
operator’s position by the hydraulic system (5). Sweepers additionally equipped with side brush (4)
allow sweeping along walls or curbs. Controling the sprinkler system (6) is carried out by the
electrical system. Castor wheels are used to support the machine on the ground during work (7).
