Sweepers – RS96 Hydraulic sweeper (no engine)

Key Features

Engine / Drive System

• No engine on the unit itself – the sweeper is driven by the rear wheel of the towing vehicle.

• Brushes and sweeping mechanism are powered through a gearbox and chain drive connected to the towing vehicle wheel movement.

Transmission

• Gearbox with:

  • Neutral position

  • Two operating speeds (approximately 100 RPM and 150 RPM)

  • Neutral universal coupling

  • Heavy-duty chains and sprockets to transfer power from the tow vehicle wheel to the brushes.

Sweeping Mechanism

• Heavy-duty cylindrical brushes designed for robust road debris removal.

• Manual angle adjustment of the brush up to 30° to either side for effective sweeping direction control.

Build & Durability

• Robust frame and chassis, fully cleaned and painted (choice of color) for corrosion resistance.

• Includes an operator platform guard, hood lifting bar, and hood chain guard for safety and easier maintenance access.

Mobility & Attachment

• Three-wheel chassis design with short turning radius for better maneuverability on site.

• Easy to attach to a range of vehicles including tractors and LDVs/trucks.

• Recommended top towing speed while sweeping is up to 8 km/h for safety and optimal sweeping performance.

Applications

• Wide use in road construction prior to asphalt laying, chipping, lime spreading, crushed rock leveling and general surface cleanup.

• Helps improve site safety and efficiency by reducing loose debris and preparing surfaces before further works.

Variants

• RS96B: Similar specification but features a solid steering front wheel and a bolt-on drawbar, along with a height-adjustable landing leg for improved stability when uncoupled.

Typical Specifications (Approximate / Based on Listings)

• Working Width: ~2.6 m (varies by configuration)

• Weight: ~998 kg (used unit example)

• Drive: Wheel-powered via rear tow wheel (no onboard power unit)

Why Choose the RS96 Sweeper

✅ Simple, rugged, and easy to maintain — fewer moving parts than engine-driven models.
✅ Cost-effective — uses existing towing vehicle power instead of a dedicated engine.
✅ Versatile for construction and municipal use — clears debris ahead of paving and material spreading.
