ALL-ELECTRIC SWEEPING
Bucher CityCat VR50e Charging
Versatility Versatility is the ability to adapt or be adpated to many different functions or activities .
The new All-Electric CityCat VR50e Sweeper from Bucher Municipal fits that definition . There are plenty of electric compact sweepers on the market ( including our own CityCat V20e ) from the leading sweeper manufacturers . Compact sweepers have their place for the correct application . The main criticism from contractors and municipalities alike is the lack of power and capacity in paving , construction , and industrial applications .
Bucher CityCat VR50e Mid-sized pure vacuum sweeper
Keeping versatility in mind , Bucher Municipal ’ s new mid-sized all-electric pure vacuum CityCat VR50e delivers on power , flexibility , and adaptability .
The Bucher CityCat VR50e solves the “ Goldilocks and the Three Bears ” conundrum . While traditional truck mounted sweepers tend to use more fuel and are too large to access all municipal environments , compact sweepers tend to lack enough hopper capacity for large jobs and shifts . Each of these sweepers has its place in a street sweeper fleet , but sometimes you need a mid-sized sweeper . The pick up , pulled brush system with wide suction intake in front of axle is hydraulically moved 15 ” laterally to the left or righ-hand side of the sweeper . The two standard side brushes in combination with a 3rd bruch have a 148 ” maximum sweeping width . The VR50e delivers with the appetite of a large truck mounted sweeper , the functionality of a multipurpose vehicle and the maneuverability of a compact sweeper ; all delivered in a single package .
Full shift sweeping
One of the problems early electric powered vehicles ran into was lack of range or work time before recharging . The all-electric Bucher CityCat VR50e is powered by a 137 kWh Bucher Battery Pack which provides the autonomy to fulfill a full 10-hour shift . Stop for coffee , stop for lunch , but you don ’ t have to stop to recharge the battery right away . When you do need to charge , you can charge anywhere , anytime with both AC 22kW and optional DC 70kW allowing full flexibility and customization to your charging needs .
You don ’ t have to compromise performance by going electric either . Heavy-duty suction and a high payload are combined with a fourwheel steering system providing capacity in the form of a 7.3 yd ³ stainless steel hopper ( with high dump option ) and agility via the hydrostatic controlled four-wheel steering .
After a long sweeping shift cleaning is minimized with the EasyClean self-cleaning function . The blower , filter screen , dirty water tank , side walls , and other difficult to reach pockets of dirt are then sprayed by the cleaning nozzles resulting in perfectly clean machine within minutes .
Sustainability ?
True sustainability too with low environmental impact first via the custom-designed zero emmision Bucher Battery Pack that ’ s tailored to the sweeper . This proven technology helps deliver a minimal footprint to the en-
