Large wide-area grass collectors

Collecting grass clippings and FOD from wide areas


Wide-area collectors with a loading volume of 10 – 20 m3 and a working width of 5.8 m. For effective grass management, grass clippings have to be removed. The TRILO wide-area sweep & collect vacuum sweepers do this in the most efficient way. These unique machines are equipped with folding wings, with a working width of 6 meters. Rotating brushes inside the wings sweep up the grass and FOD and are then transported to the suction hood (center head) and safely collected. The wings can be easily folded for transport. These machines are specially designed for the removal of grass clippings and FOD from extensive grass areas around the airport and adjacent to runways (Runway Safety Area). Despite their compact size, they have a large loading capacity and that saves a lot of time with driving back and forth from and to an unloading point. With a high working speed, a large wide-area collector will sweep clean a large area. FOD that is present is collected with the grass clippings simultaneously and that way you can even limit the number of “FOD Walks”. A powerful fan provides enormous suction power and is mounted in a housing fitted with replaceable wear plates. The fan is driven by a PTO drive shaft attached to the tractor and requires an output of The required hp PTO can vary depending on the working conditions.90 – 110 hp (66 – 81 kW).
