Truck-mounted street sweeper cleaning a public road

Street and road sweeping

Truck-mounted sweepers for estate streets, industrial precincts, construction access and the public road outside your gate — high-volume suction, big hopper, dust suppressed.

In short

Street sweeping uses a truck-mounted sweeper with high-volume suction, a large hopper and dust suppression to clear council roads, estate streets, industrial precincts and construction access. It is the control that keeps material tracked out by site traffic off the public carriageway.

How it works

What leaves your site becomes somebody else’s problem.

Material tracked out onto a public road by site traffic is not just untidy. It is a safety issue for motorcyclists, a stormwater issue for council, and on a construction site it is the kind of thing that attracts a notice rather than a phone call.

A truck-mounted sweeper deals with it at a scale nothing else can: a wide sweep path, a large hopper so the truck is not constantly returning to tip, high-volume suction that lifts stone and compacted grit, and water spray at the brushes to keep the dust down while it works.

We run street sweeping as scheduled routes rather than callouts wherever possible. Regular passes cost far less than reactive ones, and they keep the problem from ever building up.

Where street sweeping is needed

Street sweeping outside a construction site

Construction access

Crossovers, haul-road entries and the public carriageway either side of the gate. Frequency set by how much traffic the site is putting through it.

Estate and private roads

Industrial estates, business parks and private roads where nobody else is responsible for the kerb line, and grit builds up until someone books a sweeper.

Public areas and precincts

Car park entries, service roads and public-facing hardstand, including scheduled passes after events, storms or heavy leaf fall.

What's included

What a street sweeping run covers

Priced as a route rather than a callout. If your site sits on a day we already run, it is materially cheaper than a standalone visit — and we will tell you which days those are.

Street sweeping questions we get asked

Can you sweep the public road outside our site?

Yes — it is one of the most common jobs we do. We sweep the crossover, the access road and the carriageway either side of the gate. If a road authority permit or traffic control is required we will flag that when quoting.

Can we hire the truck with a driver?

Yes. Short or long term, truck only or truck and operator. Tell us the hours and the area and we will quote both ways so you can compare against running it in-house.

How often should a construction site be swept?

On an active earthworks or civil site with constant truck movement, daily or every second day is normal. As the site moves into fit-out it drops to weekly. We would rather adjust the frequency as the job changes than lock you into one number.
