The Schwarze A8 Twister: The Ultimate Sweeper

Introducing the Schwarze A8 Twister, a sweeping marvel that offers an impressive 6-cubic yard, fully stainless steel hopper. What sets this machine apart is its full range of dumping heights, varying from as low as 2 feet to a towering 12 feet. This is made possible by the trusted Schwarze scissors lift, a feature consistently employed in our M6 Avalanche models for years.

With the A8 Twister, low dumping can be achieved without deploying stabilizers. This means that despite its hefty 6-yard capacity, the A8 Twister can carry and offload at a speed comparable to some of the most popular low-dump regenerative air models. In essence, with the new A8 Twister, it's like you're getting two machines for the price of one.

But wait, there's more! We have a patent pending on our Single Engine Configuration. With the A8 Twister SE, there is absolutely no compromise on performance compared to its twin-engine version. It can perform most typical sweeping tasks at low single-engine speeds, ensuring reduced noise levels and operational costs.

When it comes to heavy-duty jobs like construction or spring cleaning, the A8 Twister SE doesn't disappoint. It delivers the same amount of sweeping power as the twin-engine A8 Twister. Designed to operate exactly like its twin-engine counterpart, the A8 Twister SE requires little to no additional training for operators and technicians.

Experience the power, efficiency, and versatility of the Schwarze A8 Twister. It's not just a sweeper; it's a game-changer.
