Johnston Sweepers – other models: British road sweepers on truck chassis, types 158B101T, 5000 Series and CX 400, four-cylinders of 3.9 litres, gross weight 7.5 tonnes
Johnston Sweepers has built road sweepers on truck chassis in Dorking, Surrey, since the 1960s; this page gathers the versions the register could not assign to a named range, including the types 158B101T, the 5000 Series and the CX 400. With a gross weight of 7.5 tonnes they sit at the top of the light commercial-vehicle class and are used mainly by councils, airports and cleaning contractors for road and large-area cleaning.

The register lists here 5 versions with four-cylinder engines of 3,922 cm³, unladen weights from 5,350 to 5,890 kg, a gross weight of 7,500 kg, lengths from 5,000 to 5,700 mm and widths from 1,650 to 1,670 mm.
Johnston Sweepers belongs to the Bucher group and, alongside Bucher itself, Schmidt and Hako, counts among the established sweeper suppliers in Europe; the CX 400 range sits in the middle segment between compact sweepers for pavements and heavy truck-mounted units for motorways and large areas, and is common in municipal fleets across northern Europe.
On used sweepers, the condition of brushes, suction system and debris hopper, corrosion of chassis and body from constant contact with water and road grit, engine and gearbox history and the running hours of auxiliary drives and the water system count; parts run through Johnston Sweepers or Bucher Municipal, and stock levels vary noticeably by model age.
