The demonstration unit for the CityRay 5 has been touring Queensland and New South Wales, generating significant interest from local councils. Built on an Isuzu FSR with dual controls, this unit showcases enhanced features beyond standard specifications.
Key enhancements include a Groeneveld auto greasing system for simplified maintenance and MaxSafe safety additions such as reverse watch, speed limiter, and anti-rollaway technology. The unit also features a Linak electric-assisted boom, drop-down screens with vibrator functionality, additional storage capacity, and both rear directional and front LED light bars.
A driver who had always driven another type of road sweeper test drove the CityRay and found it remarkably simple to operate. The unit demonstrated effectiveness, collecting mixed debris including leaves, dirt, and bluestone particles after a 25-minute sweep.
Mike Trace Engineering continues refining the CityRay based on user feedback, with recent cabin console upgrades improving control accessibility. Interested parties can book demonstrations by calling 0437 761397.
