What is a broom sweeper?

An agricultural or industrial sweeper can substantially reduce the time you spend cleaning up loose dirt and rubbish. They also improve your site’s cleanliness and safety and can even reduce operational expenditure. With the right sweeper, you can clean a large surface area more efficiently. 

Sweepers also allow for a multiple-person job to become a solo task, saving you significantly in terms of labour costs. Below, we discuss the most common applications for broom sweepers, their benefits, and our advice.

When to use a broom sweeper

Knowing what you’ll be using your sweeper for has a major impact on the type of sweeper you need. From sweeping parking lots and yards to cleaning intricate brick paths, the task at hand will determine the best broom sweeper for your needs. 

1. Parking lots

In open spaces like parking lots, it is common for rubbish and debris to collect and build up. The best way to stay on top of parking lot maintenance is to use a sweeper, collecting any rubbish, dirt, or plant litter that has accumulated. This will make the parking lot safer and more appealing. 

2. Yards

When it comes to maintaining your yard or driveway, a sweeper can cut down cleaning time significantly. For flat areas, we recommend opting for a PLUS Sweeper to clear any loose dirt, rubbish, and other debris. This a heavy-duty model and can be used with tractors, yard loaders, telehandlers, and forklifts. 

3. Footpaths and driveways

Do you need to clean intricate details like brickwork or paving? Broom sweepers are ideal for cleaning debris out from the small gaps, instead of cleaning the build-up manually. This means you can complete the job in a fraction of the time and without the back-breaking work. 

Using a sweeper also improves the overall efficiency of your property because there’s less downtime. Since the sweeper can complete the job faster, you won’t need to stop vehicles for as long. 

4. Farms

If you need to clean your farm tracks and clear manure, fodder, or other debris, a broom sweeper makes it light work. We recommend the ECO series range, they're simple, efficient and easy to use. These units can be configured in a variety of ways, but the most common configuration is a 3-point linkage.

5. Construction sites

Construction waste can quickly accumulate and cause safety problems for your contractors. To stay on top of the waste, a sweeper ensures all loose debris and material waste is kept out of the way. When it’s all collected into a pile, the waste is easy to dispose of correctly.  Depending on your needs, you can also add a collection bin offering the ability to dump waste straight into a skip bin.
