High-suction wet & dry vacuum litter picker with a patented boom arm. Ideal for high-volume operations, large cities, and areas requiring deep reach and precision control.
Technical features
Tech at a glance
Three-axis 270° telescopic boom
Jatayu uses a hydraulically actuated, 3-axis telescopic boom that maintains consistent suction, extends reach into hard-to-access dumping zones, and eliminates physical strain on the operator. The boom extends up to 20 feet (~6 meters), allowing operators to access litter over parked vehicles, into drains, and around obstacles. This approach improves waste pickup performance, expands cleaning coverage, and enables safer, fatigue-free operation.
Hydraulic high-dump hopper
Jatayu Super features a 1.6-meter hydraulic high-dump hopper. An engineering feat rarely found in its class. It allows direct transfer into municipal tippers and trailers without lifting or bag handling. Waste is offloaded instantly, right on the route: no trips, no rework, no downtime.
Variable RPM powerful engine
Built for demanding environments, Jatayu Super pairs a powerful 20 HP diesel engine with variable RPM control, giving operators full command over suction strength. From dry wrappers to wet coconut shells, it adapts in real-time, delivering consistent, high-performance cleaning where most systems fall short.
Pulse jet cleaning
Jatayu Super’s pulse jet cleaning system uses bursts of pressurized air to clean dust from its PM10-rated pleated filters—no manual effort is needed. Powered by an onboard compressor, it starts on demand with the push of a button, restoring suction in just 15 minutes. Designed for dusty routes, it maintains high performance without interrupting the shift.
PM10 filter
A PM10 filter is a specialized air filter designed to capture particulate matter that is 10 microns or smaller in diameter, such as fine dust, road particles, and airborne pollutants. Made from pleated, high-surface-area filter media, it traps these fine particles before the air is discharged. This ensures that the machine doesn't re-pollute the environment while operating and helps release cleaner, safer air, protecting both the operator and the surroundings.
Pressure washer & disinfection add-on kit
The Jatayu Super can be factory-fitted or customized with a high-pressure washing system that includes the ability to spray water mixed with sanitizing agents. The pressure washer allows operators to clean pavements, bins, walls, and street furniture using high-pressure water, making it ideal for removing dirt and surface grime. The sanitizer is useful for disinfection in public areas, a feature that was extensively used during the pandemic to support large-scale municipal sanitation efforts and reduce the risk of infection in high-footfall areas.

Applications
In cities, litter often accumulates in public spaces due to limited sanitation teams, scattered dumping points, seasonal challenges, and a lack of specialized equipment. As a result, certain areas, such as market streets, bus stops, or roadside bins, can remain unclean for days.
In high-footfall religious or tourist towns, mixed waste like food wrappers, bottles, and plastic bags creates ongoing public health and visibility issues. Manual cleaning in such zones exposes workers to biohazards, sharp objects, and airborne dust. A contactless litter picker, such as Jatayu Super, enables the safe and mechanized removal of surface waste without direct handling.
Smaller municipalities also operate under tight budgets and lean infrastructure. Machines that are costly to fuel, hard to maintain, or dependent on large crews often don’t scale. With its ability to handle bulk litter, access tight urban zones, and reduce manual labor, Jatayu Super offers a practical, everyday solution for ward-level sanitation, special cleanups, and reactive deployments.
Maintaining clean highways is crucial for ensuring road safety, maintaining visibility, and promoting public hygiene. Litter often accumulates along medians, shoulders, rest stops, and toll areas—ranging from wrappers and plastic bottles to bulkier waste like cardboard, bags, or discarded packaging.
Highway cleaning requires more than basic sweeping. Waste is scattered, often difficult to access, and poses a hazard to both traffic and cleaning crews. Manual collection in such environments is slow and unsafe, especially on active carriageways.
Litter pickers like Jatayu Super are commonly used for mechanized roadside waste removal, especially in zones where sweepers can’t reach or where heavy and irregular items need to be collected quickly. They’re also used after events like processions, protests, or roadside encroachments, helping teams respond faster without disrupting traffic flow.
Industrial sites generate a wide range of waste around driveways, loading bays, parking areas, and factory perimeters. Maintaining these zones in a clean condition is crucial for ensuring safe logistics, facilitating smooth vehicle movement, and upholding professional standards.
Industrial cleaning isn’t just about appearance. It is essential for managing scattered packaging, raw material spills, and irregular debris that can disrupt operations or create safety risks. In areas where sweepers can’t reach, or manual cleanup is slow and hazardous, litter pickers provide a fast, contactless alternative.
A high-capacity litter picker like Jatayu Super can handle heavy or uneven waste types while accessing tight corners, edges, and spaces around equipment. This reduces the need for manual labor, improves shift productivity, and helps maintain safety and compliance in complex industrial environments.
Cleanliness across campuses is critical not only for aesthetics but also for health, hygiene, and safety. Litter buildup in high-traffic areas can lead to clogged drains, pest issues, and sanitation risks if not cleaned regularly.
Seasonal variations like dry leaf shedding, event-related waste, or post-rain debris can overwhelm cleaning teams. If left unattended, this buildup can clog drains, attract pests, and create breeding grounds for mosquitoes, resulting in significant sanitation challenges.
Litter pickers like Jatayu Super are used for efficient, contactless cleanup, helping campuses maintain a clean, healthy environment with fewer resources and faster response times.
Jatayu fills a crucial gap between manual tools and large sweepers, offering distributors a reliable, mid-tier machine that’s easy to demonstrate, operate, and support. It adds real value to any catalog targeting modern cleaning solutions.
Opens doors to high-demand verticals, such as municipal corporations, facility management firms, industrial parks, campuses, and highway contractors, where compact mechanization is both practical and necessary.
Perfectly aligned with Swachh Bharat, Smart City, and O&M tender requirements, Jatayu meets specifications where manual cleaning must be upgraded, yet a full-sized sweeper truck would be excessive, making it a strong pitch for both public and private buyers.
Ideal for road, infrastructure, housekeeping, and cleaning service contractors handling large public or private spaces. Allows crews to clean more locations in a day with fewer workers, delivering higher service efficiency.
Handles bottles, wrappers, coconuts, cardboard pieces, wet garbage, and event waste that sweepers can’t pick up without jamming. Perfect for routine maintenance across campuses, colonies, small commercial sites, or localized city zones. It can be quickly deployed after events, festivals, rallies, rain, or protests where sudden trash build-up requires fast clearance.
Enables a layered cleaning fleet where sweeper trucks handle bulk areas while Jatayu manages heavy and bulky debris, as well as difficult-access zones. Clears bulky litter in advance, allowing sweeper trucks to operate without clogging or downtime, thereby improving overall cleaning efficiency.
