People have been sweeping the streets ever since the birth of the city-state when concentrated populations began generating sanitation and waste problems. The first street sweepers were nothing more complex than individuals with brooms employed by local officials or wealthy citizens. It wasn't until the early 1900s that the mechanical street sweeper was developed by the future Elgin Street Sweeping company. Adopted in Boise, Idaho, the first mechanical street sweeper was a huge success, performing better than the individual street sweeper and at a lower cost.
Today, Elgin continues to dominate the street sweeping market with a wide range of products designed to adapt to the diversity of today's urban and rural streets. From the versatile Pelican to the trenchant Eagle, it is possible to get to all the toughest places and clean through the most stubborn debris. Waterless, regenerative, pure vacuum and alternative fuel are just a few of the features that can be found in today's sweepers. There exists a street sweeper that is suited for every situation, any contingency that you could possibly encounter in today's fast paced world.
