[origin: EP0807716A2] A large-scale cleaning vehicle (75), for operation with a forklift (9), includes rotation brushes (14) for sweeping debris toward a center of said cleaning vehicle (7-5), a sweeping brush (17) for sweeping the debris into a debris collection box (15) and a fan (34) for pulling said debris into said debris collection box (15) without the need for a motor in the cleaning vehicle. Each of the rotation brushes (14), the sweeping bruch (17), and the fan (34) are rotatably connected to a rear wheel (18) of the cleaning vehicle such that when the cleaning vehicle is moved, the brushes and fan are rotated. The cleaning vehicle further includes a vertical adjustment for the rotation brushes (14) to lift them when they are not needed, a lateral adjustment for the rotation brushes (14) to adjust a width of sweeping, an audible warning (91) for pedestrians, a water sprinkler system (83) to aid in the cleaning process, and a large-scale trash removal brush (74) mounted in front of the cleaning vehicle to push large-scale trash.
