Air Street Sweepers
Air Sweepers include vacuum sweepers and regenerative air type sweeper technologies and both lift the material into a debris body or hopper with air. Vacuum sweepers suck the material off the ground through a large nozzle and into the hopper much like a standard home vacuum. Regenerative air sweepers use both pressurized air and vacuum air to move material off the surface and into the debris body or hopper.
