Loader leaf vacuums on road trailer : WINDY ME

Leaf vacuum mounted on a road trailer. These leaf vacuums are ideal for municipalities, service providers… Facing large volumes of leaves.

After the leaf vacuum on the WINDY 491 RE truck with sides, RABAUD expands its range with two models on compact and extremely maneuverable road chassis, the WINDY 491 and 660 ME.
These thermal leaf vacuums have the particularity of being towed by any type of light vehicle on roads up to 130 km/h with a simple B license, facilitating their movement from one site to another.
Designed to vacuum very large volumes of leaves, these vacuums have a suction hose offset from the turbine to avoid clogging. The turbine is equipped with large removable blades and a large-diameter scroll allowing a significant airflow for optimal suction and good declogging of wet leaves.
Adjustable on the WINDY 660 ME, the discharge chute allows for the precise discharge of leaves into leaf bags or compost bins. Fixed on the 491 ME model, it allows for discharge into a trailer when hitched to a dump truck. A RABAUD bed liner kit can then be effective in confining the leaves in the trailer.
A partner for municipalities or service providers in the autumn season, this road maintenance equipment helps prevent the obstruction of gutters, drains… to limit the risks of falls and the proliferation of insects or mold.
