Road sweeping machines are used in a wider application area than mere road sweeping, as their versatility allows them to be used on large construction sites as well as industrial sites where the collection of debris is important, for both safety reasons as well as aesthetic reasons. The reason why the majority of road sweeping machines are truck based is to allow for extended time sweeping and to accommodate the resulting larger volumes of debris. Road sweeping machines are available in different designs and debris feeding mechanisms to allow usage in different applications and terrains.
