Mechanical Broom Street Sweepers
Starfire mechanical sweeper trucks feature an exclusive 3-Shaft Elevator System that offers numerous advantages over a 2-shaft version. These benefits include:
- Extended chain life: 3rd shaft provides proper return (upper) chain support. This allows chains to run as loose as possible dramatically improving chain wear life versus similar 2-shaft designs.
- Reduced maintenance costs: 3rd shaft provides twice the number of chain adjustment points. Together with reduced chain wear, this significantly reduces maintenance downtime & costs versus 2-shaft designs.
- Better loading/sweeping performance: Eliminates chain clapping common in 2-shaft designs. 3rd shaft optimizes chain spacing, reduces clogging & ensures more effective sweeping of large, bulky debris.
All Starfire models are equipped with unique features designed to make your sweeping tasks safer, easier and more cost effective.
Why Choose Stewart-Amos for Mechanical Sweeper Trucks?
Are you looking for a street broom sweeper that excels at picking up heavier, bulkier materials? A mechanical broom sweeper from Stewart-Amos Sweeper Co. is the perfect equipment for this demanding job. These highly efficient machines feature a rotating cylindrical street sweeper broom that flicks debris onto a conveyor, which transfers it to a hopper for collection.
A mechanical brush sweeper produces an abrasive action that breaks down large debris into smaller pieces, making them easier to collect. These mechanical sweepers are an excellent choice for colder climates for executing spring cleanup duties that require removing high volumes of sand and snow-melting materials that accumulate on streets and in gutters over the winter.
Other value-added features of our road broom sweepers include:
Spring-Balanced Main & Gutter Brooms
Spring-balanced main and gutter brooms auto compensate for wear. They are full-floating and adjust automatically to effectively clean uneven surfaces. No operator judgment is required!
Massive “X” Style Hopper Lift Scissors
“X” style lift scissors ensure exceptional hopper lifting strength & stability.
Especially important when dumping wet, sticky or unbalanced loads.

Stewart-Amos Sweeper Co. Offers the Starfire Mechanical Sweeper Truck Line
Harrisburg, PA-based Stewart-Amos Sweeper Co. is your headquarters for Starfire truck-mounted mechanical broom sweepers that will enable you to complete your sweeping tasks faster and more efficiently than ever.
We make 6 models of Starfire mechanical broom street sweepers in 4, 4.5. 5 and 6 yd³ hopper capacities. 2 models are mounted on NON-CDL chassis, and 2 are available in PTO-driven, single-engine versions.
Mechanical broom sweepers are especially useful when it comes to sweeping clean a wide variety and sizes of debris commonly found on construction sites, in city gutters, and along county/state highways. Sweep brooms pick up larger, bulkier debris that routinely clogs their regenerative air and straight vacuum counterparts. Mechanical broom sweepers are also quieter to operate and offer high-dump debris disposal as standard equipment. Additionally, mechanical street sweeper brooms do not rely on high air volume to pick up debris. This means their internal components are not subject to the same sandblasting effects that gradually wear away regenerative or vacuum alternatives.
Though model sizes differ to fit different sized chassis, all share a high percentage of parts compatibility. This helps us ensure the high level of parts availability our customers have come to expect.
