Clean It Up

Hi all
Looking for any ideas on how to sweep up heavy deposits of brick dust from a brick yard. The dust is totally dry but the current cleaning company are just using a broom and a wheel barrow. Surely there must be something mechanical I could try. Any ideas, I was thinking of walk behind pedestrian sweeper like the tennant S3 but wasnt sure if it would block up. Has anyone used one of these on very dusty areas. I am talking 5mm deep in some places! They have 4 full time guys sweeping up and it doesn't look like any one has even been there because they sweep, the dust goes in the air and then falls behind them.
Look forward to any suggestions
Thanks
Tim

I would be tempted to dampen it then brush it up with a stiff broom. Any mechanical item would get clogged or full quite quickly I would think.

You need a vac with an auto filter system shaker built in.
Craig at ours can advise you which is best suited.

Hi,
If you happen to have a bobcat lying around:

We've hired the attachment for our bobcat and it was very fast.
Kind Regards,
