A magnetic cleaning device includes a handle unit, a main unit, and a deforming mechanism. The main unit includes a housing and a magnetic member. The deforming mechanism is connected between the handle unit and the main unit. The housing defines an accommodating space extending along an axis. The magnetic member is disposed in the accommodating space, and is movable along the axis between an attraction position, where the magnetic member is adjacent to an end of the housing, and a non-attraction position, where the magnetic member is away from the end of the housing. The main unit is movable relative to the handle unit via operation of the deforming mechanism.

The FODBot consists of a primary power source, a fan for creating suction, a suction nozzle for picking up FOD from flat areas and depressions in the flat areas, a horizontal brush for moving FOD to the suction nozzle and a cup brush with deformable linkage that can adjust to vertical surfaces and move FOD from the edge of these surfaces to the suction nozzle. The FOD removal machine also contains FOD sensors, position sensors and an algorithm and computer to create a digital twin of all acquired FOD by building a database of the FOD's type, location and time of cleaning.

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.

A picking tool assembly for picking up ferrous metal debris, nails, screws, sheet metal fragments, staples, rivets, and other ferrous metal objects from an environmental surface, includes: a magnetic member movably disposed within a hollow tube assembly extending between an in-use upper end and in-use lower end. The magnetic member is mounted on a movable supporting assembly configured for being movably disposed within the internal volume defined by the hollow tube, and a handle is positioned at or adjacent to the upper end of the hollow tube. The handle is coupled with the supporting assembly by an elongated connector such that the upward and downward movement of the handle effects movement of the supporting member.

An aerodrome maintenance apparatus for monitoring runway and taxiway conditions and remotely reporting the status of the runway or taxiway. The apparatus comprises a drive unit operable to provide self-controlled rolling movement of the apparatus along a surface of a runway or taxiway of the aerodrome, a detection unit comprising one or more sensors configured to detect one or more parameters of the surface, and a communications unit comprising a transceiver arranged to transfer data derived from the detection unit from the apparatus to a remote server. The apparatus is arranged, in use, to move along the surface and transfer data representative of one or more parameters of the surface to a remote server.

Embodiments are directed to a street sweeper. The street sweeper may include a hopper, a pickup head, and a magnet bar. The pickup head may have an intake portion that is fluidly coupled to the hopper. The magnet bar may be disposed rearward of the intake portion of the pickup head.

A magnetic assembly having an elongated member wrapped in an aluminum coil and covered with an insulation spray is mounted to a vehicle and connected to a power source of the vehicle in order to pick up metal objects from a ground surface. The elongated member is mounted to the vehicle by a hitch that is adjustable and has a leveling system in order to raise and lower the elongated member as well keep the elongated member level in relation to the ground surface.
