Bucher Guyer CITYCAT 5000

The register lists 2 versions here with a uniform displacement of 4,250 cm³ from four-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 5,600 to 6,325 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 10,500 kg, and lengths from 4,650 to 5,650 mm with widths from 1,820 to 1,840 mm.

Sweepers of this size class are used by municipal services, road construction firms and airports to clean streets, squares and yard areas; the gross weight of 10,500 kg and compact dimensions allow use even in tighter inner-city areas. Bucher Guyer competes in this segment alongside makers such as Hako, Bucher Municipal and Schmidt. Building it on its own chassis rather than as an attachment for a carrier vehicle gives it greater manoeuvrability in tight spaces than sweeping systems mounted on a host vehicle.

For a used sweeper, check the condition of the brushes, suction system and debris hopper, the tightness of the water supply, wear on the hydraulics and chassis, and the operating hours of the body; the seals on the debris hopper and water tank are also worth checking during an inspection; parts are available through Bucher Guyer service.
