BRIEF

The Schmidt AS990 Airport Runway Sweeper Equalled Truck is a high-performance heavy-duty airport runway sweeper engineered to meet the demanding cleaning and maintenance requirements of both civil and military aviation facilities. Designed as an integrated cleaning solution, it combines advanced sweeping technology, powerful vacuum suction, and high-pressure flushing functions to deliver outstanding results across runways, taxiways, aprons, and other critical airport surfaces.

Driven by a powerful heavy-duty diesel engine, the CSC60 delivers exceptional operational versatility with an ultra-wide working speed range, a large-capacity hopper and water tank, and an industry-leading theoretical sweeping efficiency of up to 228,000 m²/h. Its advanced cleaning system ensures effective removal of dust, sand, rubber deposits, and foreign object debris (FOD), helping airports maintain high cleanliness standards and operational safety.

Built for intensive airport environments, the airport sweeper truck complies with aviation safety requirements and features comprehensive safety configurations for reliable all-weather, full-scenario cleaning operations. With its combination of efficiency, durability, and intelligent design, the CSC60 provides a dependable solution for modern airport surface maintenance.

FEATURES

1. High-Performance Chassis & Exceptional Maneuverability

• Powered by a robust 227 kW heavy-duty diesel engine, delivering reliable performance for both high-speed airport transfers (up to 89 km/h) and precise low-speed runway sweeping operations.
• With a minimum turning radius of only 10 meters, the machine offers excellent maneuverability in confined airport areas such as aprons, taxiways, and service zones without interrupting normal airport activities.
• Featuring an 18,000 kg maximum gross weight and 5,500 kg rated payload, the sweeper maintains outstanding stability and operational safety even under fully loaded conditions.

2. Large-Capacity System for Extended Non-Stop Operation

• The 15 m³ extra-large hopper significantly reduces unloading frequency, maximizing productivity during limited airport maintenance windows, especially overnight operations.
• A 58° high-angle tipping system ensures fast and complete discharge of collected debris, minimizing manual cleaning requirements and reducing maintenance time.
• Equipped with a 3,500 L water tank and high-pressure water pump, the system supports long-duration dust suppression and surface flushing with fewer refilling interruptions.
• A 20 m flexible handheld cleaning hose enables efficient cleaning of hard-to-reach areas, corners, and equipment surroundings.

3. Industry-Leading Sweeping & Suction Performance

• With an ultra-wide operating speed range of 5–60+ km/h, the sweeper adapts to various airport cleaning scenarios, from precision removal of runway rubber deposits to high-speed sweeping of large taxiway areas.
• The maximum 3,800 mm sweeping width (combining suction nozzle and side brushes) provides exceptional coverage per pass, significantly improving overall cleaning efficiency.
• Powered by a high-performance suction system delivering up to 32,000 m³/h air volume and 10,500 Pa maximum vacuum pressure, the machine efficiently collects:
  • Fine sand
  • Dust particles
  • Rubber residues
  • Foreign objects
  • Heavy runway debris
• With a theoretical sweeping efficiency of up to 228,000 m²/h, it enables rapid runway cleaning within limited airport closure periods.

4. Reliable Core Systems for Maximum Uptime

• The independent auxiliary engine powers the hydraulic and fan systems separately from the chassis engine, ensuring consistent sweeping performance without affecting vehicle driving capability.
• Equipped with premium Sauer and Linde hydraulic components, the system delivers excellent durability and reliability for intensive airport operations while reducing unexpected downtime.
• The stable 24 V DC electrical system is designed for harsh outdoor airport environments, offering low failure rates and simplified troubleshooting.
• Supports approximately 4 hours of continuous operation, covering a complete airport maintenance shift under normal working conditions.

5. Comprehensive Safety Features for Airport Operations

• Standard safety equipment includes:
  • Emergency stop switch
  • Rotating warning beacon
  • DIN-standard reflective markings

  ensuring compliance with airport operational safety requirements.

• Transport safety locks and standard seat belts provide additional protection during both vehicle transfer and daily operation.
• An optional 2,400 mm magnetic separator efficiently captures metal debris from runways, helping reduce Foreign Object Damage (FOD) risks for aircraft takeoff and landing.

6. User-Friendly Design & Reduced Maintenance Requirements

• The simplified structure eliminates the need for an independent waste tank. Instead, the system uses hopper drainage and hose discharge, reducing maintenance points and daily cleaning workload.
• The use of globally recognized core components ensures easy spare parts availability, faster replacement, and shorter maintenance downtime.
• Complete delivery documentation—including:
  • Technical drawings
  • Maintenance manuals
  • Spare parts lists
  • Import documentation

  provides full support for airport maintenance teams throughout operation and service life.
