A mechanical sweeping mechanism removably affixed to existing ground service equipment (GSE) for the collection and removal of foreign object debris (FOD) in a removable hopper. Movement of a GSE vehicle rotates the independently suspended drive wheels, transmitted by gears/pulleys and chain/belts to power a cylindrical bristle, spinning in the opposite direction of travel, to collect and funnel FOD via a ramp into a removable hopper. Bristle height is adjustable. At least one magnet and skid plate remove metallic FOD.
