Aebi Schmidt has launched the new compact articulated Multigo 150 sweeper, designed for local authorities with stringent street cleaning and sweeping responsibilities.
At 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight, it can be driven by drivers with a standard Category B driving licence for passenger cars and its articulated design allows it to work around street furniture and get into tight spaces that other rigid body sweepers might struggle to access.
The new multipurpose Multigo 150, which has High Efficiency Traction (HEF) controlled hydrostatic 4wd transmission, also comes with a flexible chassis which allows the new sweeper to be adapted to a number of different uses.
If there is a need for winter maintenance for instance, the 1.5 cu3 metre hopper can be de-mounted and the front sweeper brushes removed, to be replaced with a snow plough and spreader unit for winter snow clearing duties.
Alternatively, the hopper can be retained but a scrub deck added to provide the ability to comprehensively tackle stains and other spillages on paved areas such as town squares.
The 67 horse power high torque Perkins diesel engine gives a top speed of 40kmh and meets green zone requirements, Aebi Schmidt said, while an 'eco- mode function lowers fuel consumption and reduces noise levels'.
Dominik Kalt, product manager street cleaning/sweepers at Aebi Schmidt Group, said: 'We had identified a gap in the market but now feel that the new Multigo 150 completes and compliments our range of sweepers perfectly.
'It is a very flexible and versatile machine that provides local authorities and other users with a host of options for sweeping, cleaning and snow clearing operations while being very easy and ergonomically comfortable for operators to use.'
The Aebi Schmidt sweeper line-up includes the Swingo 200, the Cleango 500 and the Street King 660, providing municipal, airport and other users with a wide choice of sweepers.
