Crosswind1

The Crosswind1 FSX "Fast Sweeping Crosswind" cleans at higher sweeping speeds on runways, and features a turbo charged auxiliary engine and a unique pickup head. These sweepers include options such as heavy duty caster wheels for the pickup head and a powerful lateral side air blast (single or dual) which directs a concentrated, high velocity air stream through an opening to clear away debris from protruding lights and other obstacles where side brooms can't reach.

The Crosswind1 GRS, or Glycol Recovery Sweeper, features the standard Crosswind1 high performance regenerative air sweeper equipped with an option for efficient capture and removal of environmentally damaging glycol and other deicing fluid run-off on airport runways and gate locations. All sweeping gear and technology is left intact to quickly perform both the sweep and liquid pickup applications without compromise. The decant system allows the sludge like material to be easily pumped off into proper receptacles.

The Elgin Crosswind is available as an alternative fuel sweeper using Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The Crosswind CNG features the standard Crosswind high performance regenerative air sweeper but equipped to run both the chassis and auxiliary engine on CNG. The Crosswind CNG is available on a conventional chassis. Chassis are turn-key CNG ready, direct from the OEM, with the Cummins Westport L9N N-Gas engine.

The Crosswind CNG comes standard with 4 composite 3600 PSI tanks, ample 60 Diesel Gallon Equivalent (DGE) of fuel range, utilizing a reliable General Motors V8 spark ignited auxiliary engine rated at 124hp. This platform is specially suited for general street sweeping maintenance, large flat surfaces, leaves and light road debris applications; in regions where CNG infrastructure is present and preferred – providing environmental benefits beyond sweeping streets.

The Crosswind Specialty Track Sweeper was designed exclusively for race track sweeping. It features a powerful fan, poly side brooms, a softwall hand vacuum and a powerful side air blast. The Elgin Crosswind track sweeper has passed the most rigorous tilt tests required and has been extensively used during race events across the country for high speed sweeping on highly banked tracks, removing oil absorbent material and assisting in the drying of wet track areas.

The Elgin Crosswind Specialty Track Sweeper is specially suited for steep banked race tracks in need of routine maintenance as well as race event sweeping and emergency response clean up.
