A vehicular sweeping machine includes a frame and a broom assembly that is mounted to the frame. The broom assembly includes a broom enclosure and a broom having a generally cylindrical tube with attached bristles that is mounted in the broom enclosure and adapted to rotate about a generally horizontal axis. The broom assembly also includes a material presentation system that is adapted to move material on the roadway into contact with the broom in the form of a windrow that is located generally in front of the center of the broom assembly. The sweeping machine also includes a broom conveyor having a lower end that is disposed within the broom enclosure.

A cold planer is disclosed. The cold planer includes a frame and a set of ground engaging members disposed adjacent to a rear end of the frame. The cold planer further includes a rotor disposed adjacent to the set of ground engaging members and configured to engage with a work surface. The cold planer further includes a rotary broom operatively coupled to the frame adjacent to the rear end thereof and disposed behind the rotor to sweep residual material from the work surface.

The present invention relates to an object collection apparatus with a support structure. An adjustable object engaging mechanism affixed to the front enables adaptation to diverse collection scenarios, while a configurable, durable collection receptacle at the rear accommodates various object sizes. A stepped transport conveyor system, powered by a motor, moves objects to the receptacle. An energy management system houses power generation and storage units, with an option for renewable energy sources. Operational parameters are managed via a control interface.
