Need sturdier ? The E35m mechanical sweeper pairs perfectly with Freightliner ’ s superior M2 Class 7 chassis .
Latest improvements : A full-width , stainless steel , piano-style hinge has been incorporated in the rear broom cover assembly . Additionally , the broom cover ’ s rubber latches have been replaced with corrosion-resistant over-center latches . Even the roller shutter door and locking mechanism ’ s structure and framework have been improved to increase the machine ’ s durability and strength .
“ My sweeper picks up well , but its turn radius is a nightmare !”
Key feature : The E35m features a tight 18.6-inch turning radius with a 136- inch wheelbase –– the tightest turning radius in the industry . This sweeper isn ’ t your Dad ’ s 70s-era station wagon .
“ Twin-engine mechanical sweepers mean double the maintenance headaches .”
Key features : The E35m ’ s single-engine design means no additional oil changes , oil filter , air filter , fuel filter , belt replacement or other traditional maintenance . E35m customers can also choose either the industry-preferred T-plate dirt shoes , or easily adaptable brush model dirt shoes . The E35m also features a 20-gallon hydraulic reservoir that supplies oil to a variable-displacement hydraulic pump in a load-sensing hydraulic system . This system adjusts flow based on hydraulic demand from the sweeping gear to maximize efficiency and reduce heat .
Latest improvements : As the elevator lowers to the ground for sweeping and moves to the raised position for transport , the weight of the elevator is supported on two pins that slide along sacrificial wear plates . This area of the machine is subject to contact with the aggressive milling material and debris which , over time , causes wear . With maintainability and total cost of ownership in mind , the wear plate material

has been changed from nylon to hardened steel . A replaceable collar was also added to the pin . These changes will increase the life of the wear plate and allow maintenance teams to quickly change the collar .
“ We ’ re sick and tired of small payloads and hoppers that don ’ t lift !”
Key features : The Bucher E35m has a complete load-sensing hydraulic system , a 4.5-cubic-yard hopper and four-piece elevator floor that utilizes a chain-driven , 12-flight , squeegee-type elevator over polyurethane sprockets . The E35m effectively captures and moves all street debris up its stainless steel elevator and debris hopper . Also , the elevator ’ s bearings are sealed and self-aligning , and its speed is constant and matched to the main broom speed for significant loading . To accommodate different sweeping requirements , the elevator height can be adjusted from inside the cab . The E35m ’ s ultra-high dump option increases the www . callape . com [ 8 ] 1.800.210.5923
