Since 1914, Elgin Sweeper has been hard at work cleaning America’s roadways.
Elgin has evolved its line of sweepers through the years and continues designing new products. Today, Elgin equipment utilizes every variation of current sweeping technology — mechanical, pure vacuum sweepers, regenerative air, alternative fuel sweepers, waterless dust control and high efficiency filtration — providing customers a sweeper to best match their environment and meet the customer’s needs.
In January 2018, Elgin introduced a new and innovative configuration of its popular Crosswind® regenerative air sweeper. This newest model utilizes a single-engine with a variable-speed device installed between the chassis engine and transmission allowing the engine to simultaneously power both the truck and the sweeper.
“Until now, single-engine air sweeper technology required a cumbersome multi-step process to switch between road and work modes,” said Mike Higgins, vice president and general manager of Elgin Sweeper. “With the single-engine Crosswind sweeper configuration, Elgin Sweeper is radically changing sweepers for good. More municipalities and contractors are embracing the single-engine Crosswind for their street sweeping needs.”
The new Crosswind can be used for cleaning large, paved areas such as streets, parking lots and airport runways. According to Higgins, “the new sweeper is very easy to operate, with minimal training required compared to prior designs.” Elgin’s sweepers today provide solutions from routine street maintenance to special industrial and airport applications, even race track maintenance. Elgin offers an extensive line-up of sweepers to meet highly specialized requirements.

Elgin Sweeper’s extensive dealer network is comprised of 70+ dealers with service centers worldwide. These dealerships are staffed with factory-trained, highly- experienced service technicians, and stocked with the necessary street sweeper parts to make repairs and adjustments quickly and efficiently.

In their capacity as the Official Sweeper of NASCAR Green, Elgin equipment helps support NASCAR’s Air Titan equipment to dry rain-soaked racetracks.
