Industry Rebounds at NPE 2013!
Elgin Sweeper collaborated with the California Motor Speedway, testing to develop a new side-air blast nozzle. To verify the sweeper will operate effectively on the steep banks and inclines associated with various racetracks around the country, Elgin conducted additional testing for maximum tilt angle at the Caterpillar Inc., research facility in Peoria, IL. An in-cab angle measurement system on the sweeper audibly and visually alerts the operator when steep incline conditions approach the maximum tilt angle.
