Aebi Schmidt UK is now billing its popular Schmidt Street King 660 truck-mounted sweeper as probably the safest sweeper ever assembled. In collaboration with Volvo and SM UK, one of the country's leading companies for commercial vehicle safety solutions, the new sweeper not only reduces risks, but truly focuses on accident prevention.

När Norge vaknar upp efter de långa vintermånaderna på våren rengörs trafikområdena från det grus som spridits under vinterunderhållet. Efter en övertygande testsäsong med en begagnad maskin 2023 har Øvre Bakke Gård anförtrott denna uppgift till en ny Schmidt Wasa 300⁺ sopmaskin under denna säsong.

This year, Aebi Schmidt Nederland proudly celebrates its 75th anniversary. This significant milestone highlights our enduring commitment to provide intelligent solutions for municipalities and service providers focusing on innovation, sustainability, and the strong relationships with customers and partners. To mark this special occasion, we hosted a memorable event on June 6, 2024, at our local headquarters in Holten, Netherlands.

Every year on 5 December, the town of Küssnacht am Rigi in Switzerland comes to a standstill. For the annual Klausjagen (Nicholas chase) festival, over 1,500 men parade through the town in central Switzerland with whips, bells, horns and colourful lanterns, known as ‘Iffelen’. Some 30,000 visitors flock to Küssnacht to watch the spectacle. This creates a lot of work for staff at the local road maintenance depot the following day. Aebi Schmidt has assisted the road maintenance team by providing three additional sweepers, including electric models Schmidt eSwingo 200⁺ and Schmidt eCleango 550, to clean the streets after the major festival.

Independent family-owned Shorts Group has been able to win extra business after adding two truck-mounted Schmidt Street King 660 sweepers to its hire fleet. Praise from operators, its efficiency driven configuration to help keeping costs down, tailormade accessories and training provided were among the main factors influencing the buying decision.

Our close, longstanding partnerships with airports all over the world have taught us a great deal, not least that the needs of every airport are different. Of all the production lines within the group, airport equipment requires a particularly wide variety of custom designs. We take a look behind the scenes.

Bogserade sopmaskiner kan enkelt användas med olika dragfordon tack vare variabla kopplingssystem. Trots sin höga sopkapacitet arbetar de tyst, hanterar stora mängder smuts även med grovt skräp och kännetecknas av jämförelsevis låga driftskostnader. Fördelarna jämfört med en kompakt sopmaskin eller en lastbilsmonterad sopmaskin lönar sig snabbt i många driftskoncept, både operativt och ekonomiskt.

After a break of several years due to Corona, finally Aebi Schmidt Austria again invited to the Sweeping and Municipal Day at the Austrian headquarters in Inzing. Representatives of more than thirty municipalities and service providers accepted the invitation and were able to see for themselves the advantages of the machines and equipment in practical use. The Flexigo, listed with the BBG, was of particular interest - but not only!

I samband med demodagarna presenterade Aebi Schmidt den helt omarbetade efterföljaren till den populära kompakta sopmaskinen Cleango. Cleango 550 har en 10 % större behållarvolym och är utrustad med en effektiv och tyst Euro 6e-dieselmotor. Som eCleango 550 finns den nu även med eldrift.

These days, many users expect more from their machines than just exceptional sweeping performance. What’s required are future-proof, multifunctional machines with increased driver comfort and sustainable concepts that protect the environment. Find out here what that means for Development and Product Management – and what our customers make of it.

The new and optional hydrostatic drive means this machine now offers even more convenient control while the sweeper is in use and allows smooth adjustment of the driving speed from 0 to approx. 25 km/h.

Den minsta allroundmaskinen i Schmidt-familjen kombinerar exceptionella sopningsegenskaper och hög nyttolast med alla fördelar som en multifunktionell redskapsbärare har. Det integrerade snabbväxlingssystemet gör det enkelt att byta mellan de många redskapen och den monterade utrustningen.

Wasa 300⁺ används framgångsrikt för renhållning av stora arealer i industri- och hamnområden och vid kraftigt nedsmutsade gator i mindre städer och samhällen. Med sin stora behållar- och tankvolym erbjuder den en mycket hög ytkapacitet och är optimerad för att fånga och binda fint damm. En som är imponerad av detta är Furat Kadhem, arbetsledare på företaget Vemmab AB som har sitt säte i Västerås.

Düsseldorf Airport tested the fully electric eSwingo 200⁺ for around a week. Thanks to the positive results, there are now plans to purchase a machine. The airport wrote in its press release: «Electric Mobility is an important element in Düsseldorf Airport’s sustainability strategy.» But a compact sweeper at the airport?

THE COMPACT LIGHTWEIGHT OF THE 1.5 M³ CLASS COMPLETES THE SWEEPER RANGE With the Flexigo 150 – a new, multifunctional compact sweeper – Aebi Schmidt adds a compact and lightweight machine to its range. The new addition combines exceptional sweeping features and a high payload with the benefits of a multifunctional implement carrier and offers municipalities or service providers an economically viable addition to their fleet.

Articulated steering allows for easy turning and manoeuvring – even in confined spaces. A class B driving license is sufficient to operate this machine, which increases flexibility when planning personnel deployment.

MODULAR CONCEPT AND HIGH QUALITY WIN OVER CLIENTS IN INDONESIA The Street King 660 shows what a successful collaboration between German and Asian engineers looks like.

PREMIERE OF ESWINGO 200+ AT IFAT 2018 Not only does the eSwingo 200+ clean up perfectly, but it is also clean itself. The new compact sweeper from Schmidt operates entirely on electric power without generating any emissions, making it not just one of the cleanest compact sweepers available on the market but also one of the most cost-competitive. Over its life cycle, the costs of the eSwingo 200+ are on par with those of the diesel version, thanks to lower energy and maintenance costs and a longer amortisation period. So, not only does the eSwingo 200+ benefit the environment, it also benefits the bottom line. The ASH Group has developed the Generation E concept to offer both municipal authorities and private service providers not only sustainable cutting-edge technology, but also an inclusive package covering all the service, maintenance and performance needs of the new all-electric model. Examples include a compatible charging station with a monitoring function; a GPS-based telematics solution to boost performance and optimise route planning; and expert advice on all aspects of infrastructure, energy demand, maintenance concepts and fleet set-up. Customers don’t need to worry about battery life as all battery servicing and diagnostics are provided by the ASH Group, while any used batteries can be returned and recycled free of charge. The new eSwingo 200+ will make its first public appearance from 14 – 18 May 2018 at the IFAT trade fair in Munich on the ASH Group stand in the open-air section 709/15.

Ivan Bédon is 53 years old, a trained mechanic and Field Service Manager at Aebi Schmidt Ibérica. He is responsible for service and maintenance of our customers’ machines and equipment. Recently, he was called to La Palma airport on the Canary Island of the same name, where the Cumbre Vieja volcano has been spewing smoke, ash and lava into the air at regular intervals for over 50 days now. Fortunately, the volcano has not yet claimed any lives, but the destruction and suffering of the islanders is severe.
