Sidewalk sweepers usually must be as small as possible so that they can sweep away debris while minimally disrupting pedestrians. Smaller sidewalk sweepers are also more capable at sweeping areas that are hard to reach, according to Allianz Madvac, a company specializing in street sweeping equipment. Sidewalk sweepers can lift dust and debris off the sidewalk without clogging the sidewalk with debris. Filters are usually on the sweepers to prevent clogging from occurring.
