Schwarze A8 Twister Street Sweeper

The Schwarze A8 Twister is remarkable for its ability to empty its hopper anywhere from 2′ to 12′ high. Easy side emptying into dump trucks makes the Twister perfect for roadway construction work. Or dump a bit lower into roll off containers without spillage. Perfect for cities that stage containers at strategic locations rather than require the sweeper to make multiple trips to a landfill. It exceeds the capacities of all others in its class with a 134 HP auxiliary engine, an 8.4 cubic yard hopper, 56 degree dump angle, 44″ gutter brooms, up to 600 gallon water capacity and 25% more spray nozzles.

FEATURES & HIGHLIGHTS

FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS

The Schwarze A8 Twister offers a generous 6-cubic yard, fully stainless steel hopper and full range dump heights from 2’ to 12’. The new dump system utilizes the proven Schwarze scissors lift that has been used for many years on the M6 Avalanche. The A8 Twister has the capability of low dumping without any stabilizer deployment. This means that the new A8 Twister, with its 6-yard capacity, can carry and offload just as fast as some popular low dump regenerative air models. The new A8 Twister is like having two machines in one.
