schlog Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The future arrived last week in Phuket. Saw it now twice in Kathu. Good or a slowly ticking bomb on wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Does not pick up leaves and other litter. Only gets dirt and diesel dust/grime if it's anything like the ones in America. Usually makes a grimy mess because it sprays water first then brushes over the grime smearing it all over the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It will break down next month and be parked in a gargae to gather dust forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another purchase from the Chinese? Minus a warranty, availability of parts and no maintenance budget, a typical purchase here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the picture is just a sample not actually from Phuket? (HAKO, German brand with an Austrian license plate) Such machines are in widespread use in Germany e.g. I don't think that they necessarily spray water (maybe optional). They work with brooms and a strong vacuum cleaner. Would be nice to see an up-to-date picture from Phuket. It's about two years that I saw a big sweeper (truck size) some European band in Udon Thani. Was too surprised to take a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I would prefer it if they stuck to the present system of manual cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 If the sweeper thingies don't work out, maybe they can convert it to a vacuum cleaner for rats. Like they hoover up prairie dogs back in Wyoming. http://kgab.com/wyoming-prairie-dogs-should-fear-the-vacuum-video/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The ladies going down the roads can get between the cars and the kerbs (and they recycle a lot from the bins) which these things can't. I can't see them disappearing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
