Discover how easily the FOD BOSS improves your airfield sweeping operations! Foreign Object Debris removal improves immediately with the ability of the FOD BOSS to clean up 95% or more of the Foreign Object Debris in its path, and sweep at operating speeds up to 25 mph. Not only is it an effective cost saving measure, but you get the job done RIGHT and done FAST because you know...

BREAKTHROUGH DESIGN
Keeps you ready for action 24/7/365

As your FOD BOSS airfield sweeper sweeps across the ramp, it uses the force of friction and a series of specially designed brushes to capture foreign object debris, then holds it in a unique retaining mesh. It operates completely through the energy generated by the vehicle pulling it along.

And the FOD BOSS adjusts automatically—
when it is moving, it's working!

Use your FOD BOSS airfield sweeper to sweep right up to, around, or even under aircraft at speeds as slow as a walking pace. Or take off at 25 mph (40kph) and easily clean up huge areas—nearly 1 million square feet per hour!

Unlike many other sweepers, with its maintenance free design your FOD BOSS is always ready twenty four hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. There is no downtime for service.

And the FOD BOSS airfield sweeper loves the rain—water passes right through it—but debris is captured. When other machines would be parked in the shed, the FOD BOSS sweeps on. 

"We have been the proud owners of a FOD BOSS for a while now. It is an awesome machine to be sure."

Lt D. Navarro
US Navy

Low Cost
Compared to the purchase and operating costs of other airfield sweeping systems the FOD BOSS is very affordable. Cost savings up to 90% can be realized—depending on your individual sweeping program. For details ask for our Cost Comparison Data Sheet. And the FOD BOSS actually supports operations already using mechanical sweepers. During those days and weeks when the vacuum sweeper is out of service, either waiting for maintenance, or because of unexpected breakdowns... the FOD BOSS is always ready to go.

With the FOD BOSS on the job—any aviation operation can maintain high standards of FOD control.

"....We sent the FOD BOSS over there, (to a spill on the ramp) and it did a great job. We were able to get everything off the surface with the FOD BOSS.... We also found at the same time that the FOD BOSS got a bunch of other stuff we didn't see out there..."

Naval Air Station—Patuxent River, MD
