The magnetic bar option has been developed at the request of several customers who had to face the cleaning of areas with high presence of metallic waste and needed an effective and economical solution.

The magnetic bar implement consists of a support that incorporates magnetic plates with capacity to attract objects up to 20 gr. at 1,300 mm. and with a working width of 2,200 mm. to 3,200 mm. depending on the sweeper. For more difficult cases you can install greater power magnetic plates.

This device can be installed in all PIQUERSA sweepers and allows an exhaustive cleaning of all metallic waste. It is of special interest for cleaning and maintenance of ports and airport areas, industries and in general any area with high amount of metallic waste or where, by regulation, magnetic sweeping is required.

Its operation is very simple, as the device can be folded when its use is not necessary and lifting a scuttle, all collected waste is released. Thanks to the flotation system, it can be adapted to the irregularities of the ground, ensuring a stable working distance to the ground and with zero maintenance; the working distance can be adjusted according to the working conditions.

PIQUERSA sweepers are the best choice of road cleaning for performance and maintenance, price and durability. The evidence is the hundreds of professional customers, private and municipal who trust more and more on PIQUERSA.

Thank you for sharing this year with us We know that customers and friends like you, who have believed in our products, are one of the essential components of our success.

From PIQUERSA we want to transmit to our own staff, customers, suppliers and their families a wish for peace and hope for 2017.

PIQUERSA's strong international expansion is consolidated with the shipment of nine BA-2300H sweepers to Bahrain.

Bahrain is a small Persian Gulf country facing the coast of Saudi Arabia. Like the rest of the surrounding countries, the conditions the sweepers must deal with are one of the most hard and demanding of the world, so only the most robust machines can do them.

For this reason, the new distributor company for the cleaning in the country has relied on the performance of the dragging sweeper PIQUERSA BA-2300H acquiring nine units of this model.

The amount of sand and the extreme climate of the country make the cleaning road job very difficult  These circumstances make that the dragging sweepers are the more suitable ones for this job, without electronic systems sensitive to dust and high temperatures. The simplicity on its handling and maintenance have been other factors highlighted by the service company.

Once again it is proved that effectiveness is not at odds with the  simplicity, so the PIQUERSA sweepers are the best example. Therefore the cleaning professionals trust in Piquersa cleaning road solutions more and more.

The City Council of Benahadux has replaced recently its old suction sweeper for a new dragging sweeper Piquersa BA-2300H.

After more than 10 years cleaning the town streets with a suction sweeper, this last summer the council decided it was time to retire this machine and change to a new sweeper which is better suited to the new reality of the municipality.

The Council Technical Staff discussed the different options available in the market, and they decided that the BA-2300H sweeper could meet all their needs and incorporate important advantages.

After several demonstrations with different models of sweepers, it was confirmed that the BA-2300H drag sweeper provided the same sweeping quality as  other more expensive suction models; even in certain urban waste its performance is higher, so the Piquersa sweeper can cover a greater variety of waste.

Likewise, Antonio Gomez (Services Area Councillor) underlined the simplicity and maintenance low cost of this model by incorporating a very low level of electronics components compared to the sophisticated systems in the suction sweepers. Of course this advantage will result in a higher saving from the short term. He also stressed that the fuel consumption and particulate and noise emissions will be lower, so it is not required a more powerful engine.

The two cubic meters of capacity of the BA-2300H sweeper and its technical features and improvements compared to suction sweepers, confirm the conclusion that the drag sweeping of Piquersa was the best option for the Council.

The new BA-2300H is already working and at full performance in Benahadux.

Casablanca, the economic capital of Morocco is the most dynamic and modern city in the neighboring country.

It has a sizeable fleet of Piquersa Road Sweepers for cleaning its streets and boulevards through the Cleaning Contract obtained by the French multinational SUEZ, leader in the International Waste Management Sector.

The port of Casablanca is one of the largest into the country and also one of the biggest into African continent, and they have placed their trust to sweep its bulk docks with two PIQUERSA sweepers.

Recently, other dry port and docks are being cleaned by few units of Piquersa sweepers model BA-2000H, through the company SOMAPORT, that belongs to the French giant CMA-CGM (a  global leading operator for maritime transport).

After a thorough study of customer needs, the proposition of our models has been well received and highly valued.



Although they have had other offers from different brands present in the country, the final decision has been in favor for PIQUERSA by our clear advantages: Sweeping Quality, Robustness, Simplicity and maintenance and exploitation low costs.

Thanks to our great customers and distributors for their trust and their excellent testimonials.

The sweeper is BA-1500-AC, our simplest model; however the numbers are not so simple, but very difficult to match. They speak for themselves and it is worth sharing with you:

The BA-2300H sweeper with its sweeping continuous mechanical sweeping, can remove all kinds of waste, from leaves and sand to the most bulky and heavy, own waste of these wholesale markets.

MERCALASPALMAS is the main logistics distribution platform for meat, fish, fruits and vegetables of Las Palmas, bringing together more than 300 companies serving a population of over one million people. This intense activity requires high quality cleaning equipment, able to cope with hard work days.

The standard version of the BA-2300H already had a working width of 2,300 mm. but at the request of the multinational Eulen for one of his contracts in Valencia, it has developed a third front arm including a 950 mm. brush and allowing wider sweep. This optional equipment is especially useful in areas with caked waste, difficult access, gutter, …
The sweeping equipment has also been improved with the introduction of a new central brush skates improving the sweeping quality even more both straight and curved.

All these improvements allow make the BA-2300H one of the sweepers with higher sweeping quality in its segment, minimum fuel consumption and lower maintenance costs. These features are being endorsed by street cleaning companies who see the BA-2300H as a real alternative to traditional cleaning models.

The public transport system in Santiago de Chile is in a period of great expansion and modernization, as a result of the extension of the actual network, in 41 kilometers additional to the existing ones. Metro is the urban train that runs through the city both underground and airways and is now the main mode of public transport in the capital.



The expansion of the Metro network supposes the construction of new lines 3 and 6 that will connect more than 10 municipalities. With an investment of around USD 3,100 million by the construction of line 6 (plus maintenance for 20 years), it is run by the Chilean-French consortium, ETF Colas-Rail, who among other works, will address installation of the rails that will support the new Metro’s route.

ABSIDE has delivered to ETF a Piquersa Sweeper model BA-2500H-AG for the pre-cleaning required when installing the rails. For this task, the sweeper has been equipped with its own interchangeable front shovel, with a specific rubber band, that facilitates collection of sludge caused in the phases of concreting. Then, once removed the large volume of sludge with the shovel, the blade is removed and the sweeping system is installed in only ten minutes, to complete the cleaning of the area.

Furthermore, and in compliance with local safety regulations, the sweeper has been fitted with Ansul Fire Suppression System, especially for tunnels.
