VT 650 and VT800

Equally at home on municipal street cleansing or heavier duty work sites the V Range delivers consistently high pick-up performance - even on contractor duties such as road planing and dirt pick-up around construction sites and access roads.

Available in dual or single sweep configuration, the maximum 3.6m swept path ensures superb coverage per hour - and with high capacity hoppers, water systems and fuel tanks, the V Range is designed to stay at work for longer.

Mounted to the subframe, the hydraulically operated sweeping system is designed to prolong the life of the brush and reduces the cost of ownership. Both channel and wide-sweep brush installations feature quick-change mechanisms which reduce downtime between changeovers.

All twin -engined VT Range sweepers are powered by a dedicated high performance auxiliary engine. The single engined VS Range utilises Johnston's hydrodrive gearbox which provides infinitely variable forward speed control.

All sweeping operations are controlled from the master module inside the cab, while all critical systems controls - including the master circuit breaker plus the valves and auxiliary equipment for the pneumatic, hydraulic and water systems - are housed in a purpose-built, dust and weatherproof locker. The V Range also comes with waterproof IP67 automotive electrical connectors to enhance reliability.

With a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant stainless steel body, Johnston's V Range is robustly built for unrivalled durability.

With many years experience of sweeper hopper design coupled with scientific
research, Johnston have developed a unique hopper void which creates a
cyclone effect within the hopper for the most efficient filtering of dust
and debris particles prior to discharge through filter mesh screens to
atmosphere. This unique design is a standard feature of all Johnston V
sweepers.

The rear discharge chute directs loads away from the rear of the vehicle, minimising the risk of damage to lamps and other components. The standard load de-watering system allows draining of water from the waste volume. The V Range also features a standard Pressadrain water purging system that enables the easy removal of water from the systems in freezing overnight conditions.

The V Range comes with an optional water recirculation system that recycles excess water in the body space into the suction nozzle. This conserves water, reduces dust emissions and extends on-station time. The V Range is also the first European-manufactured machine to achieve full PM10 test compliance in stringent air quality tests on whole vehicle emissions. There is even the option of a Euro 3 auxiliary engine (supplied as standard on VT800) which further reduces emissions.

Compact and efficient, the V Range is designed for maximum productivity. Johnston equipment can be mounted on chassis between 10 and 18 tonnes. Add a choice of body capacity specifications and a comprehensive range of optional equipment - and you have a versatile machine ideal for a variety of sweeping applications.

Options

• Littasnatch
  Specially developed to pick up light litter from pavements and hedgerows. With a lightweight, easy to operate flexible hose and nozzle, it can reach up to 7 metres.
  
• Supawash
  A high pressure water system for faster cleaning of gulleys and drains using a hose and hand lance. Water can also be diverted to a front-mounted full-width spray bar or suction nozzle to help remove stubborn road debris.
  
• Powascrub
  This wide sweep-brush ground pressure device enables the extra scarifaction of compacted debris.
  
• Load de-watering
  With increases in waste tipping charges, this option ensures that you only pay for waste volume, not unnecessary water volume.
  
• Water recirculation
  This significantly increases sweeping productivity by allowing greater distances to be swept before the tank needs to be refilled.
  
• Rear mesh shakers
  A fast and effective method of clearing damp paper and leaves from suction meshes.
  
• Euro 3 auxiliary engine
  With extended service intervals for reduced downtime and greater vehicle availability. Supplied as standard on VT800.
  
• Wanderhose
  Available in 150 and 200mm diameters, this rigid, turntable-mounted hose with a flexible extension enables cleaning over a wide 3.35m radius.
