Clean up metal debris on roads and highways quickly and easily.
An underestimated highway danger!
Almost always the problem of metal debris on roads and highways is underestimated when sweeping operations start because no one person or entity bears the burden of flat tires and no data exists on the numbers or costs of metal debris problems. But metal debris problems always exists from parts falling off vehicles themselves, accident sites and from metal falling off the loads being carried by vehicles.
Luckily much of this debris either lands on the side of the road as it falls off, or it somehow gets hit by a vehicle after landing on the road and ends up on the side of the road afterward. But there is always some debris that lands and stays on the road. This debris can be hit by vehicles causing flat tires or accidents.
Metal debris on roads and side of roads just keeps accumulating. While it’s fairly innocuous on the side the road, the side of the road becomes quite a risky place on which to pull your vehicle over.
Luckily cleaning debris from roads and sides of roads is quite easy to do with a magnetic sweeper.
Take a bite out of metal debris hazards!
Choose from a Piranha tow behind magnetic sweeper, Wrasse or ISO hanging magnetic sweeper
For large multi-lane divided highways with paved shoulders there is usually a periodic cleanup of road sides with major debris being picked up by hand by personnel deployed in a pickup truck. In this case the pickup truck can be equipped with a tow behind Piranha magnetic sweeper as the personnel and truck pick up the larger debris.
If pickup trucks are routinely patrolling the road sides they can also be outfitted with a ISO hanging magnetic bar. Roads with gravel shoulders and adjacent grass lined ditches are seasonally graded with a road grader and / or the grass is cut with a tractor and side mower which also can be outfitted with a Wrasse hanging magnetic bar.
In either case the grader or tractor travels down the gravel shoulder of the road at a relatively slow speed providing the perfect opportunity to sweep for harmful metal debris by attaching a hanging magnetic sweeper to the tractor and grader.
Similarly, when line painting is done, it is a perfect opportunity to sweep for metal debris on the roads themselves by attaching a hanging magnetic sweeper from the trucks or using the tow behind piranha magnetic sweeper.

Available in 2 sizes: Piranha 96″, Piranha 120″
With Unique Slingjaw Clean Off System.
The Piranha magnetic sweeper is a tow behind model designed for fast, aggressive cleaning of road and highway metal debris. Unique Slingjaw clean off system dumps debris into on board debris trays and holds it for later disposal.
The Piranha was designed for cleaning large areas like highways and therefore was given some special features. First of all, lots of power, to allow greater speed while still picking up debris.
It was given an adjustable sweeping height from 2″ to 3″ inches since it was designed to travel on flat surfaces. It was also given on board debris bins since when cleaning large areas, you could be a long way from home when you need to clean off the magnet.
Available in a six foot or eight foot sweeping width.

Available in 4 sweeper widths: ISO 62″, ISO 74″, ISO 86″, ISO 98″
With Quick Clean Off Sleeve
The ISO magnetic sweeper is a hanging magnet design specifically designed for highway maintenance operations.
The ISO 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.
High end “bumper wheels” keep the magnet off the ground and multiple mounting points keep this magnet where it should be.
A Quick Clean Off Sleeve makes cleaning debris off the magnet easy!

Easily attach to road cleaning equipment!
Easily attach the Wrasse magnetic bar to road cleaning equipment and pick up ferrous metal debris on roads and sides of roads quickly and easily. The Wrasse can hang from any piece of equipment used in road maintenance such as pickup trucks, line painting trucks, road side shoulder graders, road side grass cutting tractors and sweepers.
The Wrasse functions well as long as the ground is fairly even so that the magnet doesn’t hit the ground all the time and the Wrasse allows the equipment operators to clean while they do their normal tasks.
While competing hanging magnetic bars are always in the 2″ x 5″ size range, Bluestreak offers two bigger more powerful sizes of the Wrasse in the 3″x 3″ and 4.5″ x 4.5″ to allow even higher hanging heights if necessary and better performance.
There is also an optional Quick Clean Off Sleeve for the Wrasse 3″x 3″ and 4.5″ x 4.5″ which makes cleaning debris off the magnet bar easy.

With bump wheels for some added protection.
The PYR hanging magnet was designed for flat terrain and “on road” type uses where not much ground strike prevention is needed. “On road” type bump wheels are provided on the ends to eliminate magnet strikes due to occasional potholes, inclines/declines and speed bump type obstacles.
Choose from 2 different models with different magnet strengths, and 6 different magnet lengths from 3 to 8 feet, to get the perfect setup for your application.
Maximum lifting height of 6” inches (using a 2 ½ inch nail) for the PYR 3”x3” model, and 9 ¼” inches for the PYR 4.5”x4.5” model. Measuring Magnetic Sweeper pickup power and performance.
Also includes 4 stabilizing chains with 8 quick clips to hang the PYR from your vehicle.
Standard debris clean off method is to wipe the magnet clean with a glove or rag. However a black PVC Quick Clean Off Sleeve accessory may be purchased separately for quick and easy debris removal.

An economical choice for a magnet that can pick up from greater heights.
The GOBIE hanging magnet was designed to be strong yet economical.
The two 4.5”x4.5” housings placed side by side create a magnet that can “reach” further downward, able to pickup debris from greater heights.
Maximum lifting height of 11” inches (using a 2 ½ inch nail). Gauss measurements are also provided at different distances for this magnet. Measuring Magnetic Sweeper pickup power and performance
The Gobie can hang from almost any piece of equipment as long as it doesn’t hit the ground all the time.
Comes in 15 different sizes (widths) from 14” inches to 98” inches, in 6” inch increments.
Includes 4 hanging chains with 8 quick clips to hang the GOBIE.

Available in 2 sizes: ALPHA 86”, ALPHA 98”
With outdoor rated IP65 12-volt DC actuators rated at 562 lbs each and 7.5” inches of up and down movement for remote controlled raising and lowering of magnet from raised travelling to lowered sweeping position.
The ALPHA is the same as the AETHER magnetic sweeper but with the addition of the remote-controlled electric actuators for up and down movement.
Like the AETHER the ALPHA was designed for those off-road dirt and gravel situations where more ground strike prevention is needed.
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.
Maximum lifting height of 9” inches (using a 2 ½ inch nail). See Gauss strength measurements at various sweeping height distances also available.
Comes standard with a black PVC Quick Clean Off Sleeve for quick and easy debris removal.
