Mählers launches the SOP-LB2800 sweeper for trucks and wheel loaders

Mählers, best known globally for its snow ploughs, has broadened its range of attachments with the addition of a vehicle-mounted hydraulic rotating sweeper. The SOP-LB2800 sweeper is intended for use on trucks and wheel loaders and features an "active" float mode to give balanced pressure on the ground and especially when following contours of the road surface.

The SOP-LB2800 sweeper features an "active" float mode

Mählers, best known globally for its snow ploughs, has broadened its range of attachments with the addition of a vehicle-mounted hydraulic rotating sweeper.

The SOP-LB2800 sweeper is intended for use on trucks and wheel loaders and features an "active" float mode to give balanced pressure on the ground and especially when following contours of the road surface.

Active float gives the right brush pressure evenly across its full width, regardless of its position relative to the host vehicle. This also contributes to increased bristle lifetime, explains Oscar Nyberg, a designer at Mählers and who helped develop the sweeper.

The LB2800 sweeper can swivel through ± 35º and can be equipped with lateral displacement and irrigation with separate water tank. The sweeper is designed for easy maintenance and the brush-rings can be quickly replaced by hand, according to the company.

Brush width (straight) is 2800mm while the minimum brushing width is 2350mm. Circumference of the brush rings is 915mm and hydraulic flow is between 40-80 litres per minute.

For transportation the SOP-LB2800 sweeper weighs in at 850kg with a minimum transport width of 3025mm. Ground clearance at maximum lift 200mm.

The company, based in Rossön, Sweden, unveiled the SOP-LB2800 at this year's Maskin-Expo for machinery in Stockholm, Sweden, in May.

    Indeco is broadening its range of hydraulic attachments with the addition of two new shears. The new ISS 30/50 and the ISS 35/60 take the place of the earlier ISS 30/60 and offer an improved shape and increased jaw opening. As the firm now offers two shears rather than just one, this also allows users to better optimise the unit for the size carrier being used. Each ISS rotating shear can be either stick- or bucket-mounted. The firm also offers a fixed version which is mounted straight onto the excavator ar
