Outdoor sweeper addresses outdoor cleaning applications
07 July 2025
TENNANT COMPANY has announced the launch of its latest outdoor sweeper, the Z50 Citadel Outdoor Sweeper.

The Z50 Citadel delivers exceptional cleaning results, high productivity, and reliable operations for large outdoor spaces, making it an ideal sweeper for industrial sites such as mining, manufacturing, and logistics, as well as municipal settings like urban centers and transportation hubs.
The Z50 Citadel combines mechanical and vacuum sweeping technologies to tackle a wide range of debris applications, from fine dust and light litter to heavy, bulky debris. Its TwinLift Debris Management System (DMS) integrates a mechanical broom, high-powered airflow, and an industrial shredder to handle more debris and capture fine dust and particulates - two key factors in reducing downtime and increasing productivity for facility operators.
“Failure to control dust and debris results in downtime. Facility operators have battled major dust control issues in the past because many outdoor sweepers may not capture fine dust alongside larger debris - they just stir it up,” said Patrick Schottler, senior vice president, chief marketing and technology officer at Tennant Company. “The Z50 Citadel addresses this problem head on with TwinLift technology, the hybrid system that uses a main broom combined with higher airflow to better capture a wide range of debris for more consistent cleaning results and less downtime.”
In addition to its capable dust and debris control, the Z50 Citadel is operator-friendly and designed to support smarter, more efficient cleaning with:
Simple, intuitive controls: Help minimise operator onboarding and start sweeping quickly with a 10” (25 cm) touchscreen and 1-Step sweeping controls.
Minimise downtime: Real-time onboard diagnostics allow operators to monitor machine health and service teams reduce repair-related downtime.
Precise, effective cleaning: Match cleaning capabilities to various surfaces and debris types with highly controllable side brushes, auxiliary cleaning features, and optional brush speed and pressure control.
"For site managers, keeping their teams safe is always the top priority. The Z50 Citadel prioritises operator safety with outstanding cab visibility, PerformanceView cameras, and multiple emergency stop buttons, while air filtration certified to EUnited PM 2.5 and PM 10 4-Star standards helps protect the operating environment," said Dennis Collins, product portfolio director at Tennant Company. “Staff can safely dump debris with features like a standard hopper lift alarm and an optional remote hopper control that lets them control hopper functions from outside the cabin - giving them the clear visibility they need to work safely and effectively.”
