SCHWARZE M6 AVALANCHE™ TWIN-ENGINE SWEEPER

DEMO NOW at OJ WATSON

Sweeping season is year-round. Landscapers, municipalities, asphalt companies and more use these powerful machines to increase environmental responsibility and create customer value.

Regular street sweeping can improve the aesthetic of an entire city…neighborhood by neighborhood. It's dirty work: keeping roads, driveways, airport runways, parking lots and industrial campuses clean and attractive. Keeping streets safe and clean is essential in paved urban communities.


Today's premier street sweeper—the Schwarze M6 Avalanche™ Twin-Engine model—has come a long way since the first horse-drawn sweeper in 1840s Manchester, England. In the USA, more than 300 patents were issued for street sweeper models before 1900.

Environmental considerations now drive street sweeper choices.


Performance of street sweepers ranks high on the radar of municipalities and counties intent on meeting tougher federal air and water regulations.

Decreasing airborne pollutants and particulates is one concern. Protecting water quality by removing debris from the streets that otherwise would enter storm drains is another. The US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration cites street sweeping as a best management practice for reducing suspended solids and associated pollutant wash-off from urban streets. Sweeping can significantly reduce up to 80% of pollutant wash-off.

Highway departments depend on effective street sweepers to ensure that road shoulders and rest stops along America's highway system is as safe as possible.

The 5-yard Schwarze M6 is earning its reputation as the best heavy-duty mechanical broom sweeper on the market. The Easy Change Conveyor System makes repair or replacement of a conveyor seamless. The control options allow the operator to go from a squeegee type to a belt type conveyor on the same machine. The free float, impact resistant, drag shoes take lateral impact from milling cuts, manhole covers and curbs and flexes back into place.

Offer your customers the best in sweeping performance. Test drive at OJ Watson this month.
