Description / Abstract:
This SAE Standard applies to all self-propelled machines that
are designed to clean material from highways, parking lots, and
floors in non-residential buildings. Primary methods for removing
material can be by mechanical means, pneumatic, washing system, or
a combination.
Purpose—To identify self-propelled cleaning
equipment, which are grouped into street and industrial sweepers
and scrubbers.
Rationale—SAE J2130 has been cancelled and
replaced with SAE J2130-1 and SAE J2130-2 to differentiate between
two classes of sweepers. SAE J2130-1 covers sweepers with gross
vehicle mass greater than 5000 kg. These sweepers are used
primarily for road building and maintenance. SAE J2130-2 covers
sweepers with gross vehicle mass less than 5000 kg and are used
primarily as industrial scrubbers and for side walk maintenance.
The separation of the document will facilitate sweepers standards
development within ISO TC195 road building equipment.
