MACH 8 reinvents the concept of sweeping.
MACH 8 – THE RIDE-ON SWEEPER, WITH DIRECT FORWARD THROW AND A FRONT DRIVING POSITION.
The MACH 8 industrial sweeper is the first cleaning machine in the world to introduce BULLsystem® technology. Thanks to this patent, the MACH 8 combines the efficiency of direct forward throw sweeping with the maneuverability and loading capacity of a sweeper with a front driving position. A new solution, for the best results.
MACH 8
The MACH 8 is a powerful, heavy-duty sweeper, with a wide cleaning path (up to 2.100 mm).
It is an extremely robust sweeper (both the machine’s chassis and body are made of steel) and is high performing even in the collection of large quantities of dust and gravel.
The superior features and dirt container capacity (up to 500 L) make the MACH 8 the perfect solution to quickly clean large areas that are extremely dusty or dirty, in any application, which includes demanding environments such as heavy industries.
The innovative design of the MACH 8 – the only machine on the market that offers direct forward throw sweeping and a driving position at the front of the machine with an automotive steering system – makes this industrial sweeper particularly maneuverable. This is a great advantage in contexts, where it is necessary to carry out cleaning not only quickly but with great precision, due to the presence of confined and congested spaces. For example, in logistics warehouses where goods are constantly being moved.
The MACH 8 is easy to drive, with a compact turning radius, it has the perfect dimensions to clean the corridors between one stock rack and another (average width of 3.000 mm) in modern logistics centers.
The highlight of the MACH 8 is its capability to pass over speed bumps and manage sudden changes in gradient. The new machine from MACH is in fact the only machine on its kind which offers a practical solution to this problem, an impossible task for any other industrial sweeper.
For this reason, and the fact that the MACH 8 can overcome gradients of 21% without losing power, the machine is well suited to clean large parking areas (open air, covered and multistory).

BULLsystem®
|
Direct forward throw sweeping
|
LoadBOOSTER®
|
Automotive steering system
|
|
This technology from MACH gives you a machine with direct forward throw sweeping and a front driving position. This guarantees maximum performance in debris collection and maximum handling during operation.
|
This sweeping method delivers the best cleaning results. It efficiently manages both fine dust and heavy or bulky debris.
Direct forward throw sweeping
This sweeping method delivers the best cleaning results. It efficiently manages both fine dust and heavy or bulky debris. |
The dirt container (also known as the hopper), with rear hydraulic lift, is made completely in steel and has a capacity of 500 L. The high dump system (which lifts to a height of 1.580 mm) effectively compacts debris, utilizing all the available space in the container, before having to stop operation to empty.
|
The driving position at the front of the machine, together with an automotive steering system and controls, and front wheel steering, make this powerful sweeper particularly intuitive to drive.

Gradient Booster®
|
Independent twin front wheels
|
Compact turning radius.
|
Driveover® System
|
|
This hydraulic device reduces forward speed to always have the maximum torque available and is useful to overcome obstacles or steep gradients of up to 21%.
|
Rotating around the same pivot, but in opposite directions, the twin front wheels guarantee better stability, reduced wear of the tyre, a tight turning radius, and easy steering from a standing position.
|
The steered front wheels, short wheel base, and tapered design of the rear part of the machine, means that a 360-degree turn can be completed in 2.535 mm.
|
The MACH 8 has been designed to pass over different height speed bumps without problems, an impossible task for other sweepers.

Double side brush
|
13 m2 Multipocket® Filter
|
Automatic cleaning of the filter
|
Engine cooling system with frontal radiator
|
|
On the right side of the machine, which is key when cleaning along curbs and when making turns, there is not just one, but two side brushes therefore raising the standard of cleaning and avoiding the loss of debris during a curve (a phenomenon known as sweeper trailing). A left side brush is also available as an optional.
|
The MACH 8 is fitted with an antistatic filter, which is washable, with an automatic shaking system for the cleaning of the filter. The smart design of the filter (without tight corners) and its large dimensions, guarantee high filtering performance that is maintained over time. |
A unique filter shaker automatically activates at the end of operation, in order to shake out dust residues from the filter. It is important to note that the vibrations that shake the filter are only transmitted to the material of the filter and not to the structure of the filter case. This is a fundamental detail which prevents wear of the casing and gaskets.
|
The forward position of the radiator guarantees a greater flow of air to cool the engine and avoids the risk of filter blockages due to dust being sucked in.

Made completely in steel
|
Multibristle® main brush
|
SharkCap®
|
Wet side brush dust control
|
|
The chassis and body are made of thick steel which is varnished, guaranteeing maximum resistance even in tough conditions.
|
The special MACH brushes with rows of mixed bristles in a chevron pattern are the secret to collecting debris of different weight, without having to substitute the brushes.
|
The toothed SharkCap® antijam brush protection system prevents the brush and bearings from being damaged by string and plastic or metal filaments, therefore safeguarding both brush performance and lifespan.
|
The side brushes of the MACH 8 can be equipped with an optional water nebulizing system to keep down dust during operation. Thanks to the 66 L high capacity stainless steel tank, water flow is guaranteed throughout the entire duration of cleaning.

Security
|
|
Eliminate the risk of punctures and obtain maximum stability with super elastic tyres or choose optional pneumatic tyres which are designed to better absorb shocks and vibrations. Fitted on the machine with an automotive system the tyres are interchangeable.
|
Security and driving comfort are increased thanks to a high visibility cabin, complete with air conditioning, heating and wipers. The unique design offers maximum protection to the operator and provides full visibility of the right-side brush during sweeping.
|
The MACH 8 is equipped with a 1.500 cm3, 4-cylinder, Kubota engine which is liquid cooled. Kubota is a guarantee of quality and offers a worldwide service network.
|
Mechanical drum brakes are oversized to eliminate electronic cards and over exertion by the operator/ Mechanical handbrake / Roll bar to protect operator’s neck / Seat belt / Automotive indicator lights / Seat pressure sensor / Reverse beeper / Flashing light…these are just some of the safety features used by MACH to guarantee maximum safety.
