Keeping streets clean isn’t a luxury. It’s a legal and public safety requirement. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, stormwater runoff is one of the leading causes of water pollution in urban areas—and street sweepers are the first line of defense. However, brand-new machines can be costly, making them inaccessible for many municipalities and contractors.

That’s why pre-owned street sweepers have become a smart solution for cities, facilities, and private operators alike. But not all used machines are created equal. Buying the wrong one can lead to mechanical headaches, poor performance, and unplanned costs.

If you’re planning to buy sweeper trucks for your fleet, this guide will help you choose the right street sweeper truck for sale—without wasting time or money.

What to Know Before You Buy a Pre-Owned Street Sweeper

Here’s what you need to check—from engine performance to broom wear—before investing in a pre-owned street sweeper truck.

Hydraulic systems play a crucial role in the operation of heavy vehicles, enabling them to perform essential functions with power and efficiency. From dump trucks to bucket trucks, vacuum trucks, and other specialized vehicles, hydraulics are the backbone of lifting, dumping, and other mechanical operations. In this blog, we’ll explore how hydraulic systems work, their applications in different types of trucks, and maintenance tips to ensure optimal performance.

How Hydraulic Systems Work

Hydraulic systems operate based on Pascal’s Law, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. This principle enables hydraulic systems to generate immense force with relatively low input, making them ideal for heavy lifting and load management.

A basic hydraulic system consists [...]
