Not just a sweeper. The R5 sweeps your streets, vacuums catch basins and leaf piles with the wander hose, hydro-excavates with the high pressure pump, and rips weeds with a third broom. 6.5 yd³ stainless hopper, a 199″ turn and no CDL needed.
Sweep it. Vac it. Cut the weeds.
Every photo on this page is our own R5, shot in Minnesota. With the wander hose, high pressure pump and third broom, it works all year, not just on sweeping days.
1 · Sweep
Pure vacuum pickup with a wear-resistant fan and a short stainless suction tube. 95″ sweep, or up to 130″ with the third broom.
2 · Vac & hydro-excavate
The hydraulically supported wander hose vacuums catch basins, inlets and leaf piles. Add the high pressure water pump and you can hydro-excavate. We have done it with our own R5.
3 · Cut weeds
Swap the third broom for a weed brush and clear curb lines, joints and medians without chemicals.

What else can the R5 do besides sweep?
The wander hose cleans catch basins and leaf piles, the third broom can rip weeds without chemicals, and with the high pressure water pump we have used the wander hose to hydro-excavate.
Can our city buy on contract?
Yes. RAVO and Scarab are both on Sourcewell and the Minnesota State Contract, so cities, counties and schools can buy without going out for bids.
Are there grants for street sweepers?
Often, yes. Sweepers that keep sediment and pollutants out of storm sewers can qualify for stormwater (MS4) and clean water funding. Jet Line builds a free funding guide for your city that lists the programs that fit.
