Efficient Spring Cleaning with the Right Sweeping Equipment – Fjell Fosen Chooses Trejon Optimal
Efficient sweeping in a single pass, smart features and robust construction. Discover why Trejon Optimal’s sweep roller has become the obvious choice for Fjell Fosen.
When spring sweeping needs to be fast, dust-free and deliver a truly clean result, it’s not enough with “something that sweeps.” What’s required is a sweep roller that follows the surface, handles obstacles and delivers an even result – preferably in a single pass. Join us in Ørland, Norway, and meet the contractor Fjell Fosen, who explains why they chose the Trejon Optimal sweep roller and which features make a real difference in daily work.
Efficient cleaning when it matters most
For Fjell Fosen, spring is the most intensive period of the year. After winter, sand and debris must be removed quickly, efficiently and with high quality – while the work also has to be completed within tight timeframes. The need for reliable equipment is therefore great.
“In spring, sweeping is the main task – we needed to update our equipment, so we chose this sweep roller from Trejon Optimal. It’s three metres wide, has water sprinkling, and we’re very satisfied with it. It’s solidly built and has excellent side oscillation.” – Kåre Hellem
Trejon Optimal sweep rollers in the SVX series are developed for efficient sweeping of sand, snow and debris, and can be used on agricultural tractors, wheel loaders or other tool carriers over 4 tonnes. Thanks to the effective floating mode with ±10° oscillation both horizontally and vertically, along with a generous range of movement, surfaces can often be cleaned in fewer passes – saving both time and fuel.
Water sprinkling, stable operation and surface adaptability
To achieve better working results while reducing dust formation, Kåre highlights the water system and the targeted spray nozzles. Together with the machine’s stable construction, this contributes to sweeping that is both efficient and comfortable to perform.
The SVX series is also equipped with hydraulic diagonal adjustment of ±32°, with the pivot point positioned behind the sweep roller. This provides excellent tracking in curves and makes it easier to maintain a consistent sweeping pattern even when working on varying surfaces.
Brush quality – and smart parking
When the sweep roller is used daily, brush quality and how the machine stands when parked are crucial for service life and operational reliability. Here, Kåre highlights both the brush material and the well-designed parking solution.
“The sweep roller has a support/parking foot that keeps the machine stable when parked, so we don’t damage the brushes while it’s standing still. The brushes are of really good quality.” – Kåre Hellem
When time is limited – the right sweep roller makes the difference
In contracting work, delivery capability and deadlines are often crucial. With the right equipment, it becomes possible to maintain both speed and quality.
“We’ve had a lot of benefit from this machine. It’s very high quality and everything has gone much, much faster. We had to be finished by May 1st – and we were. With good equipment, things move much faster. And as mentioned, this one is three metres wide and does a very good job with high quality.” – Kåre Hellem
Fast service and smart design
When the machine is used daily, service friendliness is a major advantage. Fjell Fosen appreciates how quick and easy brush replacement is.
“When changing brushes, there are four bolts to loosen – then you pull the brush straight out and put it back in. It’s very quick. And the great thing is that there’s no hydraulic motor sticking out, so you can work close to the ground without worrying about hitting anything.” – Kåre Hellem
The unique centre drive in the SVX series makes it easy to sweep close to fences, buildings and other obstacles – while also simplifying lamella replacement.
The SVX series is equipped with new hydraulics that allow the roller to be angled during operation even with a 2-hose configuration. It is also possible to rotate the roller in reverse for easier forward sweeping. The sweep roller handles flows of up to 120 l/min.
A choice they are happy to recommend
After their first season with the Trejon Optimal sweep roller, the verdict is clear: this is a machine that delivers.
“This is our first season with it since Christmas, and both my colleague and I are very satisfied. We can truly recommend it. It works well, does a very good job, is easy and smooth to use – and it’s reasonably priced compared to other options.” – Kåre Hellem
