Choice of 134 HP John Deere engine or130 hp Cummins for Increased productivity with more horsepower. All with auto-shutdown/auto de-rate for oil, coolant and hydraulic level out of safe range44″ Gutter Brooms
Increased broom surface area enables transfer of materials from a greater distance from the sweeping head.Recessed Gutter Broom Discs Lowers cost of operation by reducing twine to wrap on GB motor.
In Cab 27 Degree Hydraulic Allows on-the-fly gutter broom adjustments from cabVariable speed gutter brooms allow matching the broom speed to the aux engine and to the job.
Optional Gutter Broom Extension Override℠ (GEO℠) Increased usability of gutter brooms, and expandsVersatility in various applications. While eliminating the need for a center broom.
Optional in-cab gutter broom down pressure allows on the fly broom down pressure adjustmentAngled Rubber Blast Orifice pickup head Increases debris transfer while enabling high speed sweeping
90×36″ Sweeping Head for Increased Productivity with a larger area of surface cleaning (quicker transfer, no bulldozing)Schwarze exclusive “sweeps in reverse” head allows sweeping access where others can’t.
Optional pickup head deluge for easy head cleaning.Optional Broom in head for surface scrubbing
Bolt in Replaceable head transitionsLarge 8 cubic yard rear dumping hopper
True debris capacity (7 cu yard) is larger than many units its same class. Longer sweep time between offloads.Bolt in Pressure and Transition Tubes for longer life expectancy; reduced cost of ownership
High flow lift system allows fast dump cycle speeds.Optional abrasion resistant high strength stainless Steel hopper comes with a lifetime warranty as standard for lower cost operation.
29,000 Cubic Inch, Self-Cleaning, centrifugal and torturous path Circular Dust Separator eliminates the need for the operator to enter the confined debris body when cleaning the separator.Saw tooth Screens for increased screen surface area creates more productivity, and increases debris separation reducing carryover wear and lowers cost of operation.
