ODB Leaf & Litter Collection

What makes the ODB DCL1000SE the most powerful debris collection system? The DCL1000SE is a game-changer in debris collection with a patented single-engine system that delivers 150 horsepower directly to its 32-inch impeller. This provides unsurpassed suction and is twice the horsepower of any other truck-mounted debris collector on the market.

What is the primary benefit of the single-engine design? The patented single-engine configuration results in 61% fewer collection system maintenance points, reduced fuel consumption, and a much lighter system. This leads to a lower total cost of ownership, more curb miles cleaned per day, and a significant payload increase of over 5,000 lbs compared to two-engine systems.

How does the DCL1000SE's PTO system work? The DCL1000SE uses a Power Take-Off (PTO) driven by a Variable Power Divider (VPD) from the truck's engine. This allows the operator to switch instantly between highway mode and work mode, powering the hydraulic pumps for the fan and boom. This eliminates the need for a separate auxiliary engine, saving on maintenance and fuel.

What features improve its efficiency and maneuverability? The unit's 102-inch narrow width allows for greater access and maneuverability, especially in tight residential areas, and does not require an oversized permit. The three-axis, in-cab motion control for the hydraulically powered boom gives the operator precise control for efficient curbside pickup.
