Skid Steer Broom
- Design: Skid steer brooms consist of a brush assembly with bristles or brushes made of materials like polypropylene or steel. The brush assembly is attached to the front of a skid steer loader using a quick attachment system. Some models come with angle adjustments to direct the broom in different directions.
- Sweeping Capabilities: Skid steer brooms are designed for efficient sweeping and cleaning of a wide variety of surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, gravel, and even turf. They can handle tasks such as debris removal, dust suppression, snow removal, and dirt cleanup.
- Types of Bristles: Skid steer brooms may have different types of bristles depending on the intended application. Polypropylene bristles are commonly used for general-purpose sweeping and are gentle on surfaces. Steel bristles are more robust and are suitable for tougher applications, such as removing compacted snow or stubborn debris.
- Dust Control: Many skid steer brooms come equipped with a water spraying system to suppress dust during sweeping operations. This feature is especially useful in construction and road maintenance to comply with environmental and safety regulations.
- Angle Adjustment: Some skid steer brooms have adjustable angles, allowing operators to sweep in various directions or shift the broom to one side for efficient cleaning along edges and corners.
- Versatility: Skid steer brooms are versatile attachments that can be used in different weather conditions and on various terrains. They are effective for cleaning up construction sites, parking lots, driveways, warehouses, and sidewalks.
- Ease of Operation: Skid steer brooms are user-friendly attachments that can be operated by skid steer loader operators with minimal training. The controls are typically integrated into the skid steer’s existing joystick or control panel.
- Cost-Effective: Skid steer brooms are cost-effective tools for maintaining cleanliness and safety on construction sites and other areas. They reduce the need for manual labor and speed up the cleaning process.
- Seasonal Use: Some skid steer brooms can be used year-round. In addition to regular sweeping, they can be equipped with optional accessories like snowplow blades or bucket attachments for snow removal during the winter months.
