Challenger Sweeper
Vehicle Review
“There have been a lot of changes in the street sweeping industry and Challenger Manufacturing leads the way in the mechanical sweeper market. Our manufacturing process utilizes best in class components and leading edge technology that allows us to offer a street sweeper that is strong on performance and long on durability.”
The Challenger sweeper model is a chassis mounted, broom-only, mechanical, high-dump road sweeper. This street sweeper is a reliable machine that sweeps well in every application. It features high fuel efficiency, low initial cost and simplicity of operation.
GLOBAL ADVANTAGE
- Fully skid mounted, easily unloaded from standard 20-foot container
- Installed on locally approved chassis
- Manufactured with globally supported components such as Sauer Danfoss, Kubota, Parker
- Simple operation, repair and maintenance
DOMESTIC CHASSIS INSTALL
- Domestically approved chassis allow warranty and support from in-country dealers
- Meets all of the local emission standards
- Lower cost for equipment, freight and duty
- Basic requirements include a 8.5 ton cab-over chassis and specific chassis frame height
COMPACT DESIGN
- Sweeper fits a full-sized, 3.2 cubic meter hopper capacity on an 8.5 ton GVWR chassis
- Model installed on ISUZU N-class has a shorter turning radius than VW Jetta, Chevy Cruse, Honda Fit or Toyota Corolla
- Cab over design features unequalled visibility and results in safer operation, eliminating need for dual-steering or right-side drive (what about Thailand, India etc)
- Shortest possible wheelbase in the industry
- Low profile and compact design allows access to heavily tree-lined streets and cul-de-sac areas
- Air ride suspension option for "luxury car " like ride
PRODUCTIVITY
- Variable height side dump allows dumping into almost any vehicle or container 2 cubic meter debris hopper allows extended sweeping intervals, which increases productivity. (High dump is what allows intervals, not size)
- Powerful main and side brooms and its efficient conveyor result in sweeping heavy material with only one pass
- Standard side brooms and rear cameras give excellent visibility for more safety and productivity
EFFICIENCY
- Fuel savings from compact design, advance technology allowing to install module on only 8.5 ton GVWR chassis Sauer-Danfoss load sense, pressure compensated piston hydraulic pump system uses on-demand power, reducing fuel consumption, heat and prolonging components life
- Very reliable, powerful, fuel efficient Kubota V2403, turbo charged diesel engine runs hydraulic system only Mechanical process of lifting/conveying material from ground-level into the hopper is much more efficient than with vacuum sweepers (59HP auxiliary engine compared to needing a 120HP engine on vacuum sweepers)
VERSATILITY
- Effective sweeping in applications ranging from light sweeping of parking lots to heavy sweeping of construction sites
- Strong and rugged design can handle the toughest sweeping including asphalt milling
- Lower cost of operation thanks to smaller chassis weight, auxiliary engine size, high dump capability
- Comfortable travel at highway speeds of over 100 km/h to reach furthest job sites in a timely manner
- Strongest in class hydraulics provide maximum sweeping performance
SIMPLICITY
- Electric components and all hydraulic valves are installed in one centrally located area for easy access and repair from ground level
- Sealed weatherproof electric box protects components and offers exceptional accessibility to all electric components
- Manual override levers for each hydraulic function Greaseless composite bushing and chrome pins for all pivot points reduce maintenance time and increase longevity
- Quick removal of entire elevator for easier service Elevator back plate opening for easy inspection and cleaning
