VSM-140 Vacuum Road Sweeper

VSM-140 Vacuum Road Sweeper, 1.4 Cum Hopper

The VSM-140 is Maniar's most compact vacuum sweeper, mounted on a compact truck chassis with a 1.4 cum hopper — built for narrow streets and lighter-duty routes where a larger sweeper can't easily manoeuvre.

It is manufactured by Maniar & Co. in Ahmedabad, India. See all vacuum sweepers, or use the form below to get the full specification by email.

How It Works

One main broom (375mm dia) and two side brooms (500mm dia) — all hydraulically rotated and hydraulically raised and lowered — sweep gravel, leaves, litter, and sand into the path of the suction hose. A high-efficiency, dynamically balanced blower, driven from a split PTO, draws that debris into a hydraulically operated hopper (1.4 cum, 2mm thk MS) at the rear. Dust pulled in with the debris passes through 8 pleated filters (34 sq m filtration area) before the air is released, with an automatic pulse-jet system — 12V DC solenoid-operated pneumatic valves on a PLC-based timer — periodically clearing the filters so airflow and suction stay consistent. When the hopper is full, it's manually opened at the rear via a locking rear door for unloading. All controls, including broom up/down and rotation, hopper up/down, and PTO/blower on-off, are provided in the driver's cabin.

Key Features

  • 375mm dia main broom plus two 500mm dia side brooms, all hydraulically rotated with hydraulic up/down control
  • Blower and hydraulics driven from a split PTO — no separate auxiliary engine required
  • 8 pleated filters (34 sq m filtration area) with an automatic, PLC-timed pulse-jet cleaning cycle
  • As the most compact model in the range, the VSM-140 does not carry an onboard water tank or spray system
  • All controls provided in the driver's cabin

Capacity & Applications

Mounted on a compact truck chassis, the VSM-140 is sized for narrow residential streets, parking lots, and lighter-duty municipal routes where a larger sweeper would struggle to manoeuvre. Its 1.4 cum hopper suits frequent, shorter runs rather than high-volume all-day routes, and because the blower draws power straight from the vehicle's own split PTO, no separate auxiliary engine needs to be carried, kept fueled, or maintained.

Basic Specification

The VSM-140 has a 1.4 cum hopper, a sweeping width of 1400 mm (1600 mm with the side broom engaged) and a sweeping speed of 3 to 10 km/h. It is built on a Mahindra Bolero chassis. For the complete specification, request it below and we will email it to you with photographs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the sweeping width of the VSM-140?

1400mm without the side broom, extending to 1600mm with the side broom engaged.

Does the VSM-140 have a water spray system?

No. As the most compact model in Maniar's vacuum sweeper range, it does not carry an onboard water tank or spray system.

How is the blower powered?

From a split PTO on the vehicle itself, so no separate auxiliary engine is needed.

What vehicle does the VSM-140 mount on?

A compact truck chassis, chosen for manoeuvrability on narrow streets and in tighter spaces than larger sweeper models can access.
