Engineering Marvel
Margastra Truck-Mounted Road Sweepers offer effective cleaning and maintenance of roads & highways, providing a solution that is efficient, sustainable, and highly cost-effective. These advanced sweepers are designed to significantly reduce road dust and air pollution through the use of a certified air filtration system compliant with PM 2.5 and PM 10 standards, certified by the internationally accredited agency SGS Germany, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment.
Margastra sweepers are ideally suited for:
two major, independent features
This preserves energy and is also more efficient and cost effective to the end user. Our Sweepers are products that use best-in-class components while reducing operating weight and consume far less fuel than old technology equipment; all of this is accomplished without sacrificing performance and durability.

Margastra - Sustainability-Focused
Margastra is not just a machine — it’s a sustainable partner for modern cities.
For years, this advanced road maintainance technology was available with a handful of developed countries. Margastra has redefined it by making the solution smarter, more efficient, and significantly more affordable. The features below highlights Margastra’s key advantages over conventional and competing systems.
Inside our Sweepers
We are a proud member of the European Association of Municipal Equipment Manufacturers (EUnited), and our manufacturing facility is certified with ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management), and the TSE Service Qualification System.
Our entire product portfolio carries CE certification, and our Vacuum Road Sweepers are PM2.5 and PM10 certified by SGS Germany, reinforcing our commitment to cleaner air and environmental sustainability. Each Margastra vacuum sweeper delivers industry-leading suction performance and is engineered using premium components from globally renowned manufacturers, including SMC (Japan) for pneumatic control solutions, Schneider Electric (France) for electrical systems, Sauer Danfoss (Denmark) for hydraulic solutions, and Yuken (Japan) for advanced hydraulic components.
TECHNOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
The major superiorities of our Margastra sweepers are listed below:
CLEANING METHOD USED IN DUST CONTROL- PM10 & PM 2.5 - The Whole Product Range has CE markings and our Vacuum Road Sweepers have PM 2.5 & PM 10 label certified by SGS Germany, an internationally accredited agency, for a cleaner environment.
As per the recent survey it is published that more people in India are dying from Air pollution than of COVID-19. PM10 & PM2.5 norms play important role in controlling pollution causing particles and in maintaining good air quality. Emphasis on cleaner air quality is given utmost importance by using effective measures to remove such particulate matter.
2) AUXILIARY DIESEL ENGINE TRANSMISSION: Engine to Fan connection is made with Torque Converter /Fluid Coupling/ Automatic transmission that gives best performance. Performance on Belt Driven to Automatic is substantial as the Belt drive yields and loosens in hot weather leading to loss of performance and the blower will not be able to create enough vacuum and materials will be behind. It is much difficult to maintain.
Margastra Sweepers also come with an option of Clutch system which requires lesser Engine power and lesser Fuel consumption to produce higher volume of Vacuum.
Margastra Techno-Performance
| TERI Analysis | Local Old Fashioned, Old technology Sweepers | Our MRG 10000 Sweepers |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Old Best Driven System Performance of Belt Driven to Automatic is substantial as the Belt drive yields and loosens in hot weather leading to loss of performance and the blower will not be able to create enough vacuum and materials will be behind. It is much difficult to maintain. |
Automatic Transmission With Fluid Coupling System Automatic transmission with fluid coupling system is a new technology. It increases efficiency and requires much lesser maintenance. |
| Actual time spent on Sweeping |
Most of the sweepers are with 5 CBM capacity hoppers and it fills up too fast and it has to be dumped. But dumping sites are too far away from the city. Because of this reason actual time spent on sweeping is way less because of the travelling time. And it also increases the fuel consumption. |
Our MRG 10000 has 10 CBM Capacity Hopper. This is 2 times bigger than presently running machines. So actual time spent on the sweeping is 2 times more and fuel wasted is 50 % Less. |
| Shortcomings |
Mechanical Armed Hydraulic Mechanism

Remote Controller
|
| Shortcomings |
Dual/Simultaneous Sweeping Both side brushes work together to collect the materials. But in the cities, materials are accumulated to the sides of the roads. So other brush mostly does not collect any material and is consumed without any use . |
Single Side Sweeping Though Margastra has two side brushes, two suction mouths and one middle brush, it has the capability for only one side brush with one side suction mouth to work when collecting materials from curb-side of the road. Simultaneous Sweeping is optional in Margastra, if there are materials on both sides, both side brushes and suction mouths work together with 3400 mm sweeping width. This option decreases the level of brush consumption. |
| Shortcomings |
System Design
|
System Design & Integrity
|
| Good Practices |
Emission Rate & Dust Particules * Due to old technology design, big engine volume is needed to work all attachments; old filter system; Sweeping causes a lot of dust thrown into the air and the machine gets black due to particules coming from exhaust |
Emission Rate & Dust Particules * Margastra has PM 2.5 & PM 10 certification with 4 stars rating; machines are tested in Germany and certified by German Institution SGS and is a part of eUnited. |
| Double Shift System |
Mechanical sweepers with old technology require frequent maintenance and repairs as per TERI findings and are not available for double shifts. |
Our MRG10000 is a heavy duty Machine. It can be used on any kind of road and is the best for long distance running as it does not have any heating problems. With all these good features there will be no problem in working double shifts. |
| Increase in daily coverage area |
With smaller capacity hoppers in sweepers, more time will be wasted in dumping, traveling to dumping sites and coming back to working site. In 8 hour shift it is difficult to cover more sweeping area. |
Our MRG 10000 has 10 CBM Capacity Hopper. With bigger capacity hopper, more area will be covered in 8 hour shifts without any major loss of time dumping and travelling. |

TECHNOLOGY AT ITS BEST
Assembled in India with all the best of components from world leaders.
It provides high performance at lower cycles by DEUTZ auxiliary engine utilized on its top structure. It ensures fuel savings and more silent working environment.
Engine- fan connection is made through torque convertor in our machines; this way, life is extended and maintenance costs resulting from replacement of Belt is prevented.
In order to minimize dust in the environment, waste is humidified at 25 points
throughout suction line
PLC Touchpad Screen Control Unit is very user friendly control panel, operator learns
using machines within a short time period.
In order to maximize useful life of brush, its pressure to the surface can be adjusted. Optionally, such pressure setting can be made from inside cabin. It provides optional system to reduce rotating speed of brush to prevent unnecessary wear.
Easily cleanable chamber: inside grate design is developed; design of superstructure and
equipment is made to minimize maintenance requirements.
Waste tank mounted on top of water tank at 10 degrees of angle provides ease for discharge
operation of wastes.
Thanks to flexible design, top structure can be easily mounted on different chassis vehicles of different sizes.
