Road sweeper repair in Paris and Île-de-France

01

A workshop equipped to diagnose road sweepers

A modern road sweeper is run by its control units. Brushes, turbine, water pump, transmission: everything goes through electronics. Without the right equipment, parts get replaced at random.

Our workshop has diagnostic equipment dedicated to road sweepers. We read the fault codes, the parameters and the alarm history. Then we check the hydraulic pressures, the suction vacuum and the brush wear.

You receive the diagnostic report with the quote. Nothing is committed without your approval.

Three road sweepers that came through our workshop

No theory. Three recent jobs, told as they happened in the workshop.

Ravo 5 electric

Electric road sweeper: the sensor was not faulty

Arrival

The hopper goes into safety mode. The hopper sensor is suspected.

What we measured

The 24 V on-board network, two 12 V batteries in series, drops to 3.95 V on the tester: a shorted cell, corroded terminals. When the voltage collapses, the sensor goes out of range and the hopper protects itself.

What we did

Work carried out following the de-energising procedure for electric vehicles (480 V), replacement of both batteries, cleaning of the terminals, coolant top-up.

What the customer gained

No sensor replaced for nothing, and a fault that does not come back.

Ravo 5 diesel

"The radiator needs replacing." No.

Arrival

Coolant leak: the radiator is blamed.

What we measured

System pressure-tested. The radiator is watertight. Two leaks elsewhere: the main engine-to-radiator hose, which had become porous, and the thermostat hose, at the clip.

What we did

Hoses replaced, system bled, new pressure test, hot road test.

What the customer gained

A new radiator avoided. We replace what leaks, not what we suspect.

Air conditioning killed by soil

Arrival

The air conditioning no longer cools. The customer asks for a leak check.

What we measured

Condenser covered in compacted soil and plants, fan seized and eaten away by corrosion, air conditioning hose punctured, system empty.

What we did

Cooling pack cleaned, fan and hose replaced, nitrogen test, 45-minute vacuum, new receiver drier.

What the customer gained

The cause is treated, not just the symptom. Our advice: have the cooling pack cleaned at every service. A road sweeper lives in dust.

What we repair on your road sweeper

A road sweeper is a chassis and an equipment unit. We handle both in the same workshop.

Electronic diagnostics of control units and wiring harnesses.
Hydraulic system: pumps, cylinders, hoses, valves. See also our expertise in tipper and hook-lift hydraulics.
Suction system and turbine: tightness, ducting, bearing, balancing.
Side brushes and main roller brush: replacement, pressure and contact adjustment.
High-pressure water system and pump, nozzles, filters, tank.
Hopper and emptying: lifting cylinders, rear door, seals.
Auxiliary engine and chassis engine.
Hydrostatic transmission, braking and electrics.
Preventive maintenance and genuine parts.

04

Why proximity matters for a road sweeper

A road sweeper travels at 25 km/h at most. Every kilometre to the garage is lost service time, and a driver tied up.

From the towns close to Le Blanc-Mesnil, your machine comes by road. For towns further away, we arrange delivery by low-loader.

And once at the workshop, a single visit is enough: mechanics, hydraulics and bodywork in one place, with a paint booth that takes a whole truck.

For technical departments and cleaning professionals

We work for the technical departments of town halls, inter-municipal bodies and public territorial authorities, urban cleaning companies and hire companies.

When a machine needs to get back on the road fast, Service Express reserves a slot for it. To plan ahead, Bilan 360 checks the whole vehicle. Is your machine still under warranty? See servicing and manufacturer warranty.

The first truck workshop driven by artificial intelligence

LNVI is the first truck workshop driven by artificial intelligence. In practice: your vehicle's history is retrieved before the first intervention, parts are searched by serial number, and you follow progress online with #TrackYourTruck.

1,500 m² of workshop and hydraulics, 14 technicians, a 300 m² parts store, a paint booth and a 2-year warranty on our work.

Frequently asked questions

What fleet managers ask us

Which road sweeper makes do you repair?

The major makes on the market: Mathieu and Ravo (Fayat group), Schmidt (Aebi Schmidt), Bucher Municipal, Dulevo and Johnston. On chassis-mounted as well as compact road sweepers.

My road sweeper is far from Le Blanc-Mesnil: how do I get it to you?

A road sweeper travels at 25 km/h at most. From neighbouring towns, it comes by road. Further away, we arrange delivery by low-loader: the machine arrives at the workshop without wearing its transmission or tying up a driver.

Do you carry out electronic diagnostics on road sweepers?

Yes. The workshop is equipped with diagnostic equipment for road sweepers: reading of control units, fault codes and parameters. The diagnostic report is given to you with the quote, before any work.

When should preventive maintenance be scheduled?

Before the leaf season, when road sweepers work the most. Brushes, turbine, hoses, filters and the water system are checked and restored at that point, to avoid a breakdown in the middle of a round.

Do you use genuine parts?

Yes. Parts are searched by your machine's serial number. Our 300 m² parts store also covers the chassis consumables.
