VACALL Widest sweep path Vacall's AllSweep is the industry's widest sweep path and a single-engine design, according to the manufacturer. An independent test shows All Sweep has the greatest air flow capacity when compared with all vacuum sweepers designed to clean up runways, parking lots, event venues, highway millings and streets, according to Vacall. Either single- or dual-sweep systems are available, as well as full-width nozzles and gutter brooms. A new position memory feature allows the nozzle height to be raised and then restored when encountering curbs, speed bumps and other obstacles. When in use, a new hydrostatic drive system controls chassis travel speed while maintaining a specific rpm level. The models also are equipped with catch basin cleaner hoses.
