Reduce flat tires when driving on landfill roads...
Reduce flat tire costs and pick up metal debris with a magnetic sweeper.
The price of a flat tire...
Landfill debris problems are perhaps the largest of any applications. It’s not hard to imagine how roads leading to landfills and the landfill roads and scales are covered in debris such as construction debris, wires, old roof shingles and nails, screws etc.
The largest problem presented by this debris are the flat tires it causes on trucks delivering garbage to the landfill and the vehicles of the landfill itself. The large garbage trucks have many wheels and they are expensive to repair and in the process trucks experience downtime and schedule disruptions. Most of the time these big tires don’t go flat immediately, they get damaged at the landfill and go flat or need fixing later.
Most landfills have to repair tires at least several times a week on their own tires, let alone tire repairs that landfill visitors get that the landfill may never know about or bear the cost for.
Given this situation, the metal debris problem at landfills is considered high and the need for controlling it is high due to the high cost of damaged tires.
Flat Tire Cost Savings Analysis
Flat Tire Cost Savings Analysis
Picking metal debris is a good thing for business..
The cost of flat tires are real and borne by real people and real businesses and are a huge unnecessary waste and cost that can be prevented with a simple tool… a magnetic sweeper.
Even the costs that are borne by the landfills for tire repairs are enough to allow a very quick payback period on the purchase of a magnetic sweeper.
It may not seem like a dump or landfill needs to think about customer satisfaction or about flat tires that visitors experience while using the landfill, but this should indeed be the case. Businesses and individuals using the landfill are the landfill’s customers and landfill customers clearly have an expectation and need to use the landfill without getting tire damage.

Selection of Landfill Site Magnetic Sweepers
This thing is built like a tank!
The Yacare magnetic sweeper is a 72 inch wide, durable off road tow behind magnetic sweeper with an easy Spring Assisted Clean Off system. Cleaning off the magnet takes only seconds with out much effort.
Yacare has solid pick up performance in off road conditions at landfill sites because of the “wrap around” design, the adjustable sweep height, flat proof tires, adjustable hitch height and the optional Debris Digging Rake accessory.
The RED colored lid and “MAGNETIC SWEEPER” signage on the back of the Yacare unit ensures that high visibility is maintained.
The construction of stainless steel and steel matches the power of the unit with durability. This thing is built like a tank. Check out the CAD drawings.

Similar to the Yacare Only Bigger!
The Caiman magnetic sweeper is one step up from the Yacare magnetic sweeper. Like the Yacare, the magnets in the Caiman are enclosed and protected. It also has the Dual Spring Assisted Debris Release Handles to clean off the magnets.
However, the Caiman is wider with an 82 inch width and has much more power with 50% more magnets than the Yacare
More power and wider sweeping width make the Caiman a good choice for towing behind pickup trucks, larger tractors and UTVs that operator around landfill sites.
The Caiman also has solid pick up performance in off road conditions around landfill sites. The performance is provided by the “wrap around” design, the adjustable sweep height, flat proof tires, adjustable hitch height and optional debris digging rake accessory.
Check out the Caiman CAD drawings for details.

Available in 4 sizes: AETHER 62”, AETHER 74”, AETHER 86”, AETHER 98”
With wheeled outriggers and bump wheels for Off Road Landfill use.
The AETHER magnetic sweeper was designed for those off road dirt and gravel roads and landfill working areas where you need a magnetic sweeper to pick up metal debris and you want to hang it from one of your working vehicles but more ground strike prevention is needed to protect the magnet. The AETHER provides more protection than the EIGER because of the AETHER ’s wheeled outriggers in the center of the magnet.
The 10” x 3” flat proof bump wheels on the ends prevent the magnet from hitting the ground and from sinking into loose surfaces, and the wheeled outriggers provide additional ground strike prevention in the middle of the magnet’s overall length.
Front mount or mid-mount to tractors, backhoes, outdoor forklifts, commercial trucks, shunt/yard trucks, telehandlers.
Maximum lifting height of 9” inches (using a 2 ½ inch nail). Measuring Magnetic Sweeper pickup power and performance.
Comes standard with a black PVC Quick Clean Off Sleeve for quick and easy debris removal. Also includes 6 stabilizing chains with 12 quick clips to the AETHER from your vehicle

With Quick Clean Off Sleeve
The KHAMSIN hanging magnet was designed for more “off road” applications such as gravel, sand, and dirt roads and yards, or grass covered areas. Ideal for rural roads or gravel roadsides. Ideal for gravel parking lots and driveways.
The Khamsin design allows you to leave the magnet permanently mounted, enabling you to lower and deploy the magnet for use when needed, and then easily raise and secure it when not needed or for transport between locations.
Larger 10” x 3” flat proof bump wheels keep the magnet from hitting the ground or sinking into softer ground surfaces.
The Khamsin has a slightly higher minimum sweeping height of 2.5” inches compared to the ISO’s minimum sweeping height of 1.75” inches, in order to operate more effectively in off road applications.
A Quick Clean Off Sleeve comes standard for quick and easy debris removal.
