The modern market for communal cleaning vehicles is represented by a wide range of equipment, including snowplows, watering machines, loaders and excavators.

Varieties

The communal machine can be equipped with a mechanical or vacuum principle of selection. Transport of the second type has become most widespread in European countries. The main elements are brushes of various types and a turbine that forms a vacuum.

The mechanical type sweeper has a special conveyor that sweeps debris into the internal container. Two types of equipment are produced: in the form of trailers and self-propelled vehicles. Compact versions of harvesting equipment have gained sufficient distribution. Also, the usual wheeled tractors, supplemented by attachments, do not lose their popularity.

Multi-purpose machines include skid steer loaders, which are adapted to be equipped with various types of attachments. They can be supplemented with a spreadersupplies, snow blower, tilt blade, brush and bucket options.

Sprinklers

Washing municipal equipment of both universal and specialized types is designed for wet cleaning of roads and caring for plantings. In winter, she works with a plow and brush tool. The design consists of a container, a rubber blade, a nozzle for ejection of water and a pumping apparatus. The principle of operation is based on the supply of water from the tank to the nozzles located on the front bumper. The pump is controlled by a remote control, the average speed is 5 km/h.

Vehicles for winter use

Despite the fact that many cars are supplemented with equipment for working in the cold season, municipal vehicles designed only for use in winter are quite common today. Most often, it is operated simultaneously with a snow melter and has brush, screw-rotor or milling-rotor equipment. The oil pump is driven by the power unit and ensures the functioning of each hydraulic department. Winter operation requires the addition of devices such as:

• s alt or sand based reagent dispenser;
• trapezoidal section;
• specialized body part;
• snow plows (speed and standard type).

Garbage trucks and vacuum trucks

No special deviceswaste removal is also not possible, these include container garbage trucks, bunker trucks and garbage trucks with rear and side loading. Most often, the latter variety is found on the streets, due to the widespread distribution of garbage containers made in the middle of the last century. In big cities, the utility vehicle with a rear loading type is not inferior to them in popularity. This option handles large open containers, has a high compaction factor, that is, it is able to remove a large amount of garbage during one trip.

Bunker trucks are indispensable when working with open containers filled with construction and large household waste. Some options are capable of simultaneously transporting cargo within 8 tons.

Do not forget about the vacuum trucks and sludge pumps needed to clean sewer systems and drain wells that are subject to systematic silting and clogging. Pipes are flushed by transport, which, with the help of special nozzles, removes all contaminants from internal surfaces.

Combined technique

Combined communal machine provides high-quality processing of city streets, roads and is equipped with sand spreaders and plow-brush devices. Its design is based on a Russian all-wheel drive truck. He is able to drive on any road surface, which is especially important in winter when working on a snowy road and ice. It should be noted that high qualityunder such conditions, few cars are able to provide. An additional advantage is the weight, which reaches 20 tons. In equipment, the communal vehicle also has a tank and a spreading mechanism. In winter, ice often occurs on the roadway, which contributes to an increase in the number of accidents and traffic jams. In such weather conditions, combined devices are indispensable. They move along the roads and evenly distribute sand and loose active reagents that dissolve the ice crust and prevent the formation of a new one.

Municipal road vehicles are sold both in the original configuration and with additional equipment in the form of chain and attachments. In the warm season, watering and brush devices replace plows and spreaders.
