A power rake and multi-purpose bucket combo attachment includes a power rake drum, a multi-purpose bucket and a frame. The multi-purpose bucket is configured to dig, scoop, lift, carry, clamp, pinch or hold. The frame is configured to hold the power rake drum and the multi-purpose bucket in positions for operation on a loader machine. The frame also includes a plate configured for attachment to a loader machine. Wherein, the power rake and multi-purpose bucket combo attachment is configured to combine the power rake drum and the multi-purpose bucket that can dig, scoop, lift, carry, clamp, pinch or hold in a single attachment, whereby the power rake multi-purpose bucket combo attachment provides operations of both the power rake drum and the multi-purpose bucket.

A self-propelled sweeping machine has a sweepings pick-up device and a sweepings collection container. The pick-up device has a pick-up head and a conveying section adjoining the head having an ejection and distribution device opening into an interior of the collection container. Sweepings picked up from the traffic surface by the pick-up device can be distributed by the ejection and distribution device, with the formation of a sweepings surface, in the interior of the collection container. Also provided is a filling level sensor, which is configured as a radar sensor and scans the interior of the sweepings collection container, and an evaluation unit which interacts with the filling level sensor. A distance measured between the filling level sensor and the sweepings surface allows for the degree of filling of the sweepings collection container to be determined in the evaluation unit and to be output on a display or signal unit.

The manually operated floor sweeper is a manually powered cleaning unit that replaces the standard push broom. Designed for indoor and outdoor use, the manually operated floor sweeper provides a plurality of brushes that move dirt and trash to a hopper, which transports the dirt and trash to a receptacle. The manually operated floor sweeper comprises a plurality of brushes, a hopper system, a drive system, a gearing system and a body.

A PTO driven yard clean up tool is for attachment to a tractor is disclosed and claimed. The PTO system drives a rake attachment that runs in a counter-clockwise direction to the direction of travel to throw material into a basket; the material can be dumped out of the basket when it gets full by tilting the basket.

This disclosure relates to street sweepers and interchangeable conveyor modules for use with street sweepers that are interchangeable. A first conveyor module is provided that is mountable to the conveyor support structure of the vehicle wherein the conveyor is configured to transport debris from the broom assembly to the hopper on a continuous belt having paddles. A second conveyor module is also provided that is mountable to the vehicle structure wherein the second conveyor is a squeegee type conveyor. The first conveyor module and the second conveyor module are interchangeable on the street sweeping vehicle. Because the size envelope and attachment points and mechanisms are common, the two modules can be interchanged at will.

A roadway sweeper (10) is provided with a pneumatic ‘lift’ cylinder (LC) connected through linkages to a gutter broom (12) and is pressurized at a operator-selected one of a plurality of air pressures to control the force the gutter broom (12) applies to the surface being swept. In a similar manner, a pneumatic ‘swing-out’ cylinder (PC) that is also pressurized at one of a plurality of operator-selected air pressures to cause the gutter broom (12) to ‘swing-out’ from a fully retracted position toward its fully extended position. A spring element (S), such as one or more helical springs, is connected in parallel with the swing-out cylinder (PC) so that the gutter broom (12) is positioned reliably and repeatedly in response to a user-selected one of many pressure states P.sub.n.

A mechanical sweeping mechanism removably affixed to existing ground service equipment (GSE) for the collection and removal of foreign object debris (FOD) in a removable hopper. Movement of a GSE vehicle rotates the independently suspended drive wheels, transmitted by gears/pulleys and chain/belts to power a cylindrical bristle, spinning in the opposite direction of travel, to collect and funnel FOD via a ramp into a removable hopper. Bristle height is adjustable. At least one magnet and skid plate remove metallic FOD.

A cleaning device includes a chassis that can be moved over a ground surface. The cleaning device further includes a space in which a roller-shaped brush provided with bristles is arranged in a rotatable manner about an axle in such a way that the ground can be brushed therewith. The space is connected to an outlet channel for the removal of material brushed away by the bristles. An air channel is arranged in the brush and coaxially with the axle. The air channel has a series of openings directed towards the outlet channel and open between the bristles.
