The Road Rake is a roadway litter collection machine that removes debris from road shoulders, highway medians, parking lots, and paved surfaces that is too heavy and damaging for standard street sweepers. Operators clean from the safety of a truck or tractor cab without exposure to live traffic.
Street sweepers are designed for fine debris on smooth pavement. Heavy items like mufflers, tire retreads, and compacted litter can jam or damage sweeper mechanisms. The Road Rake is built specifically for this heavier material.
The Road Rake removes large and heavy roadside debris including mufflers, tire retreads, blown-out tires, branches, bottles, cans, and compacted litter from road shoulders, medians, and parking areas.
The Road Rake is available in two models: the 200T, powered by the truck it attaches to, and the 200, which has an independent power source. The 200T is ideal for operators using an existing truck; the 200 offers more flexibility in equipment pairing.
The Road Rake allows the operator to remain in the cab while cleaning — keeping them away from live traffic lanes. This is a critical safety advantage over manual roadside litter picking, which exposes crew members to passing vehicles.
