Case Study; Rear Mounted Sweeper for Kioti CK2630

The Kioti CK series is a very popular tractor, ideal for doing jobs around sites like holiday parks, private estates and urban areas. We often get asked to fit a sweeper to this great little machine. If you are looking for a sweeper to clear debris and moss, look after an artificial surface or sweep your access roads, then a rear PTO driven sweeper is just what you need. 


Kersten's HKM sweepers are some of the most compact you'll find.


This PTO driven sweeper is available in two widths; 1.25m and 1.5m with an impressive 40cm diameter brush.

The 5-row spiral brush punches well above it's weight, with the configuration capable of moving considerable volumes of heavy material.

It is the perfect companion to your Kioti.









The items used in this project were as follows:


  1. HKM 15040 M 125cm rear mounted Sweeper
  2. SSB 15040 Collector box
  3. HB-SSB-HFKM Hydraulic collector box opening


The HKM 40 range can be easily adjusted for height and the angle can be adjusted using a manual setting bar, or an optional hydraulic cylinder.

In the kit above we have used a hydraulic opening cylinder for the collector box. It can also be set up to manually open with a rope from the seat.

It is also possible to mount a sweeper to the front of the Kioti CK Series. Here's a link to an example of a front mounted solution for this machine.


Kersten sweepers are great at maintaining hard surfaces by removing detritus and debris which reduces weed growth and is fundamental to Integrated weed management.

Frequently Asked Questions

To control dust on asphalt surfaces, adjust your sweeper's brush speed to a slower setting to minimize dust dispersal. Spraying water directly onto the brush or the surface helps bind the dust, making it heavier and easier to collect. Kersten sweepers are available with dust suppression kits can efficiently handle dust without spreading it around.

A dust suppression kit sprays water directly onto the brush of a sweeper and surface. This technique helps bind dust particles, making them heavier and easier to collect. By reducing the amount of dust that becomes airborne, these kits help maintain cleaner surfaces and improve air quality.

For hard-to-reach areas, use a pedestrian two wheel tractor such as K-series or UBS-series with dust suppression kit. Adjust the brush speed to a slower setting and apply water to the brush to control dust effectively. A debris guard can also help manage dust in confined spaces.

The Gully Brush is a specialized attachment for sweepers, expertly designed to manage debris in challenging areas such as edges, gullies, and kerbsides. It efficiently pulls dirt, leaves, and other debris from these hard-to-reach spots into the path of the main sweeper brush. Once in the sweeper brush’s path, the debris is collected by the sweeper and deposited into the collector box, ensuring a comprehensive clean and a polished finish.

The frequency of replacement depends on the amount of usage and the type of debris you're dealing with. Regular inspection is recommended, and brushes should be replaced as soon as you notice signs of wear, such as reduced cleaning performance or uneven bristle wear.

Road sweeping in the UK is governed primarily by the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA 1990) and the Highways Act 1980, which place a statutory duty on local authorities and the Secretary of State (via National Highways) to keep public areas and highways clean.

Key Legislation and Responsibilities

Environmental Protection Act 1990: Section 89(1) and (2) of this Act places a duty on 'duty bodies' (primarily local authorities)  to ensure public spaces and highways are, as far as practicable, kept clear of litter and refuse.

Highways Act 1980: This Act includes provisions that make it an offence to deposit anything on a highway that might obstruct its use, create a danger, or cause injury.

Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse: This document, issued under the EPA 1990, provides practical guidance and sets standards for cleanliness (Grades A-D) and expected response times for cleaning different areas.

Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005: This Act strengthened existing legislation related to street cleaning and environmental quality.
