When it comes to heavy-duty, chassis-mounted, regenerative air street sweepers, few can match the prowess of the Schwarze® A9 Monsoon™. With a whopping 9.6 cubic yard hopper, the A9 Monsoon™ stands tall in the industry, boasting the largest standard hopper available. This superior capacity means more sweeping and less dumping, making the A9 Monsoon™ a preferred choice in regions where leaf sweeping is not just a task but a way of life.

The A9 Monsoon™ doesn’t just stop at offering a large hopper. It also features the largest dump door in its class, enabling a fully packed hopper to easily empty. Combined with large flow area saw tooth drop-down screens, the A9 Monsoon™ ensures debris capacity all the way to the screens without plugging.

But what sets the A9 Monsoon™ apart is its patent-pending single-engine configuration. The Schwarze A9 Monsoon SE does not compromise performance and can perform most typical sweeping at low single-engine speeds. This translates into low noise and operational costs. When full power is needed for heavy jobs like construction and spring cleanup, the A9 Monsoon SE delivers the same amount of sweep power available on the twin-engine A9 Monsoon.

In essence, the A9 Monsoon™ is a heavy-duty workhorse that offers a high-quality option with a low cost of ownership. We invite you to experience the A9 Monsoon™ and see why many trust Schwarze Industries for their sweeping needs. After all, you should come to the people you know, for the products you trust.
