The E35m dumps high or at ground level into a dumpster
The most frequent reason Bucher ’ s customers needed help , said Product Marketing Manager Matt Starnes , was because “ they wanted the power of a twin-engine mechanical street sweeper but without all the maintenance headaches . The E35m fits the bill .” Unfortunately , another prominent reason folks turned to Bucher is they were sold the wrong street sweeper for their application . This scenario is laid out by John Dewit , owner of Above & Beyond Hydroseed , on an episode of the Sweepers & Tankers podcast . Here ’ s a list of the most common challenges Starnes and his teammates hear about , and how the Bucher crew designed the E35m to solve them :
An old station wagon has a better turning radius ! Frustration : Yes , a mechanical sweeper picks up well , but the traditional turn radius is a nightmare ! Solution : The E35m four-wheel , mechanical sweeper offers users the tightest turning radius in the industry . We provide a tight 18.6-degree turning radius with a 136-inch wheelbase . This sweeper isn ’ t your dad ’ s boat-like 70 ’ s station wagon .
Top : Large 44 ” hydraulic-driven digger type gutter brooms ensure aggressive cleaning of curbs and gutters Bottom : 34.5 x 58 ” polypropylene tube main broom is designed for changing road surfaces
A single solution to double trouble Frustration : Twin engine mechanical sweepers mean double the maintenance headaches ! Solution : Besides the advantage of not having to deal with an auxiliary engine , the single-engine design means no additional oil changes , oil filter , air filter , fuel filter , belt replacement or other traditional maintenance . The E35m includes a choice of dirt shoes : industry-preferred “ T ” plate , or easily adaptable brush dirt shoes . The E35m features a 20-gallon hydraulic reservoir that supplies oil to a variable displacement hydraulic pump in a load-sensing hydraulic system . This system will adjust flow based on hydraulic demand from the sweeping gear to maximize efficiency and reduce heat .
Our sweepers lose power and can ’ t keep up Frustration : We ’ re sick and tired of small payloads and hoppers that don ’ t lift !
Solution : The Bucher E35m has a complete , load-sensing hydraulic system ; a 4.5-cubic yard usable hopper and a 4-piece elevator floor using a chain-driven , 12-flight squeegee-based elevator . No more polyurethane sprockets . The E35m effectively captures and moves all street debris up its stainless steel-floored elevator and all-stainless steel debris hopper . The elevator speed is constant and matched to the main www . callape . com [ 8 ] 1.800.210.5923
