UrbanCarriers · For sweeping and civic work
Sweeping
Keep the people on the beat. Take the load off their backs.
City roads are split into beats, and a person with a broom and a handcart covers each one before the day starts. Campuses, office parks and townships run the same work inside their gates. CROC EV carries the team's water, tools and bins, so the people doing the work carry less.

Load check
What rides with the team
≈ 75 kg
| Two 20 L water cans for washing | ≈ 40 kg |
|---|---|
| Brooms, scrapers, shovel, protective kit | ≈ 10 kg |
| Swept litter and leaves, one pass | ≈ 25 kg |
| CROC EV payload, plus 25% overload | 80 / 100 kg |
Assumptions
- Water at 1 kg per litre; tool and litter weights are our estimates.
- CROC EV is for the team's kit and short litter runs, not bulk waste.
- A sweeping or civic body's own weight counts against the payload.
- What a sweeping body does is agreed in the build scope with our engineers.
