What? A strange invention appeared on the streets of Budapest
A strange machine has appeared in the capital’s public areas: a leaf blower with a nose.
As you can see in the pictures, a huge pipe extends from the superstructure of a truck, which sucks up thousands of fallen leaves. We asked about it, which works within the framework of Budapesti Közművek At the Metropolitan Public Area Maintenance Office (FKF), whether this never-before-seen vehicle is at their service. They answered: yes.
As it turned out, they installed this newly purchased professional body on a three-axle truck. A huge container was placed on the platform, into which a huge, accordion-like pipe sucks up the fallen leaves. The target machine – as they call it – has a brutal performance. Even in one go It can absorb and store 26 cubic meters of leaves. So far, no other structure has been able to achieve similar performance. The leaf blower typically appears in rows of trees where a large amount of leaves have fallen in a short period of time. As we learned, soil improvement materials are produced from the huge amount of green waste in an environmentally friendly way. After the fall season, the vehicle will be transformed again: with a different bodywork, it will perform other public cleaning tasks on the roads of Budapest.
The FKF emphasized: keeping the capital city clean apart from them, it is also the responsibility of the district municipalities, economic organizations and the population. Based on the legislation the owners of the houses must ensure that the sidewalks in front of the property are kept clean, the fallen leaves removed, and the slippery surfaces removed.
