Tow-Behind Debris Collectors

Compact design. Powerful performance. Maximum efficiency.

ARM Tow-Behind Debris Collectors provide a simple, cost-effective solution for high-efficiency leaf collection. Designed for municipalities and contractors who need powerful suction in a compact package, these trailer-mounted systems vacuum and mulch debris, then transfer it directly into the hopper of a tow vehicle, streamlining cleanup and reducing handling time.

With flexible pickup options and true one-person operation, ARM tow-behind systems deliver reliable performance across a wide range of applications.
