A small road sweeper is a compact, battery-powered ride-on cleaning vehicle designed for paved areas where full-size sweepers are too large or unnecessary — parking lots, warehouse floors, school corridors, hospital grounds, shopping mall basements and residential streets — using rotating main and side brushes with suction and water spray to collect dust and debris. For property managers and facility operators who currently rely on manual broom sweeping or walk-behind sweepers, upgrading to a ride-on compact unit directly increases cleaning speed, improves consistency and reduces the physical strain on cleaning staff.

6 Features of YG Small Road Sweeper
1. Wide Sweeping Width for Fast Coverage
The YG series street sweeper machine offers sweeping widths from 1260mm on the YG-1 to 2100mm on the YG-4. The main brush and two side brushes work together to collect debris across the full width. The 450- 500 mm side brushes extend the cleaning reach, picking up debris along edges and curbs.
2. High Working Capacity
Working capacity ranges from 6500m²/h on the YG-1 to 18500m²/h on the YG-4. The YG-4 covers nearly three times the area of the smallest model in the same amount of time. A 10000m² parking lot takes about 1.5 hours with the YG-1 and about 30 minutes with the YG-4.
3. Large Trash Capacity for Extended Operation
Trash can capacities range from 80L on the YG-1 to 220L on the YG-4. Larger trash cans mean fewer stops to empty, higher productivity, and less operator downtime. The YG-4 can hold debris from a full shift without needing to stop and dump.
4. Water Spray for Dust Control
Every small road sweeper includes a water tank and spray system. The YG-1 holds 30L. The YG-2 holds 130L. The YG-3 and YG-4 hold 100L. The water spray suppresses dust during sweeping, keeping the air clean for operators and surrounding areas. This is particularly important in urban environments and indoor facilities.
5. Long Working Hours on a Single Charge
Working time ranges from 3-8 hours depending on the model. The YG-1 electric road sweeper runs 6-8 hours on a 48V 52Ah battery. The YG-4 runs 6-8 hours on a 48V 150Ah battery. One charge covers a full shift. The batteries charge in 3-6 hours overnight.
6. 48V Battery Power, Zero Emissions
All four models run on 48V battery systems with capacities from 52Ah to 150Ah. No fuel costs. No exhaust fumes. Quiet enough for residential and commercial areas. Suitable for indoor use in warehouses, factories, and parking garages where emissions and noise are concerns.
How to Match a Small Road Sweeper to Your Area?
Choosing the right small road sweeper starts with the area you need to clean. Two numbers determine how fast a sweeper clears a space: sweeping width and working speed.
- The YG-1 electric road sweeper covers 6500m²/h—enough for sidewalks, small parking lots, and tight urban spaces. A 5000m² parking lot takes about 45 minutes. A 1000m sidewalk takes under 10 minutes.
- The YG-2 covers 8500m²/h, handling medium-sized commercial areas and larger parking facilities. The wider 1400mm sweeping width means fewer passes per area.
- The YG-3 covers 16500m²/h at up to 12km/h. A 10000m² parking lot takes about 36 minutes. The wider 2000mm sweeping width covers more ground per pass.
- The YG-4 covers 18500m²/h at up to 15km/h. A 10000m² lot takes about 32 minutes—the fastest in the series. The 2100mm sweeping width and 220L trash capacity handle the largest jobs with fewer stops.
The rule: Choose the widest sweeper that fits your space. A wider machine covers more ground per pass, but it must fit through gates, doorways, and between obstacles. The YG-1 fits through standard walkways. The YG-4 requires more clearance but delivers the highest productivity.
What the Numbers Mean?
- Sweeping width determines how much ground the street cleaner machine covers in one pass. The YG-1 covers 1260mm. The YG-4 covers 2100mm. A wider sweeping width means fewer passes to cover the same area.
- Working speed determines how fast the machine moves while sweeping. The YG-1 and YG-2 operate at up to 8km/h. The YG-3 reaches 12km/h. The YG-4 reaches 15km/h.
- Working capacity combines sweeping width and working speed. The YG-1 covers 6500m²/h. The YG-4 covers 18500m²/h—nearly three times the area of the smallest model. For a 10000m² parking lot, the YG-1 takes about 1.5 hours. The YG-4 takes about 30 minutes.
- Trash capacity determines how often the operator must stop to empty. The YG-1 holds 80L—sufficient for light debris on sidewalks. The YG-4 holds 220L—enough for heavy debris on large industrial sites. A larger trash can means fewer stops and higher productivity.
- Water tank capacity affects dust control. The YG-1 holds 30L—enough for several hours of operation on light dust. The YG-2 holds 130L—sufficient for extended sessions in dusty conditions. The spray system suppresses dust at the point of pickup, keeping the air clean for workers and the public.
