The New Standard in Regenerative Air Sweeping
At Haaker Equipment, we’re proud to offer the Elgin Crosswind1® Regenerative Air Sweeper — a next-generation solution designed to deliver exceptional cleaning performance with simplified operation and reduced maintenance. Built for municipalities, contractors, and airports, the Crosswind1 is engineered for efficiency, versatility, and reliability.
With its innovative single-engine design, intuitive controls, and rugged construction, the Crosswind1 keeps large paved areas—including streets, parking lots, and airport runways—spotlessly clean while reducing fuel use and operational downtime.
Powerful Cleaning Meets Modern Efficiency
The Crosswind1 sets a new benchmark in street sweeping by combining regenerative air technology with single-engine simplicity. This design eliminates the need for a separate auxiliary engine—reducing fuel consumption, noise, vibration, and maintenance costs.
Its 8-cubic-yard (6 m³) hopper and 240-gallon (908 L) water tank provide extended run time between dump cycles, water refills, and fueling stops—keeping your crews productive for longer shifts and fewer interruptions.
Key Features of the Elgin Crosswind1
🚛 Single-Engine Efficiency
The Crosswind1’s single-engine system powers both the sweeper and the chassis, eliminating the need for dual-engine maintenance. This results in:
Lower fuel consumption
Reduced maintenance costs
Fewer emissions
Simplified operation and control
With one-button start-up, operators can begin sweeping immediately—ideal for public works crews that need easy, consistent operation.
Advanced Regenerative Air System
Elgin’s regenerative air technology creates a powerful closed-loop airflow that lifts and removes fine dust, debris, leaves, and litter from pavement surfaces. It’s highly effective for:
Streets and highways
Parking lots and industrial sites
Airport runways and taxiways
Permeable pavement maintenance
The large pickup head and efficient airflow ensure thorough cleaning with minimal dust escape—meeting modern environmental and performance standards.
Rugged and Reliable Design
Built on a short-wheelbase chassis (conventional or cab-over), the Crosswind1 offers superior maneuverability in tight urban areas and wide-open facilities alike. The durable construction and easy-access components make it simple to service and maintain, extending equipment life and uptime.
The Crosswind1 Eliminates the Hassles of Traditional Sweepers
Compared to dual-engine sweepers, the Crosswind1 helps operators avoid:
Maintaining two separate engines
Complex aftertreatment and regeneration systems
Unexpected downtime from missed regenerations
Belt tensioning and auxiliary motor issues
Excessive noise and vibration
The result? More uptime, less maintenance, and a lower total cost of ownership.
Versatile Applications
The Elgin Crosswind1 isn’t limited to standard street sweeping—it’s built for a range of specialized uses, including:
Airport sweeping (FSX & GRS models)
Chip seal pickup and litter removal
Permeable pavement maintenance
Natural gas (CNG) and track sweeping configurations
