● Demolition — Brooms are ideal for collecting loose dirt and debris from demolition sites. ● Governmental/Municipalities (Street and Road Main- tenance) — Brooms are useful work tools for cleaning city streets, sidewalks and parking areas. Airport main- tenance is another popular application. ● Industrial/Recycling — Pickup brooms are excellent for cleaning factory floors or industrial pavements. ● Landscaping/Landscape Maintenance — Brooms are used by landscaping contractors to clean paved sur- faces after the landscaping is complete. Golf course maintenance departments will often use this product to clean cart paths, parking lots and even turf. ● Paving — Pickup brooms are often used by paving con- tractors to sweep and collect milled asphalt and con- crete. Angle brooms are used to clean milled surfaces. ● Specialty Trades/Utilities — Brooms are often utilized by specialty trades and utility contractors to clean up after trenching and backhoe work. Pickup brooms are productive work tools for special- ized applications. They are often used in conjunction with a bucket, cold planer and trencher.

Features: ● Pickup Brooms sweep and deposit material into an integrated hopper bucket for easy removal and dump- ing. Bidirectional capabilities of the bristles allow Pickup and Utility Brooms to sweep in forward or reverse machine travel. Optimum sweeping style is in forward travel, resulting in over-the-brush pickup. Certain conditions require a dust pan style of sweep- ing, done in reverse travel. ● Utility Brooms sweep and collect light debris on smooth surfaces in forward or reverse travel. They can be adjusted for greater bristle down-force in tough applications such as sweeping course material out of a cold planer cut. ● Angle Brooms use a single variable speed, unidirec- tional gerotor style hydraulic motor, contained in a protective housing. They use a windrowing action to move loose debris ahead and to the side of the surface being swept. They can be oriented straight or angled up to 30° left or right of center in forward travel. ● Direct drive motors provide maximum performance and durability. Pickup and Utility Brooms use a single variable speed, bidirectional gerotor style hydraulic motor, contained in a special housing that is adjust- able to compensate for bristle wear. Angle brooms use a single variable speed unidirectional gerotor style hydraulic motor contained in a protective housing. ● Polypropylene/wire convoluted brushes provide opti- mum results for sweeping. Optional all-polypropylene and all-steel wire convoluted brushes are available for specialty applications. Convoluted brush sections are available in half-kits for easy maintenance and quick replacement. ● Drop core design allows for quick bristle replacement without removing hydraulic hoses. ● Quick coupler with rugged, opposing edge design holds the work tool securely and allows the operator to quickly change from one high performance Cat Work Tool to another. Market Opportunities ● Building/General Construction — Brooms are often found on construction sites once the construction is complete to remove and collect dirt, rock and other construction debris from driveways, sidewalks and streets.
