CLEANUP COMPACTION SWEEP ANYTHING WITH EXTENDIBLE BROOM Take on cleanup, material handling and snow removal applications with the SweepEx Mega 600, which has a 60-inch-long mainframe. Suitable for dirt, leaves, snow, material spills, standing water, steel shavings and gravel, the broom attachment fi ts a variety of carriers. Built with no moving parts, the broom has no cleaning and lubrication requirements, and brush replacement is simplifi ed via a brush section system. The polypropylene sections offer durability and fl exibility while minimizing dust and fl ying debris. Featuring 11 brush rows, the Mega 600 can also handle broom extenders increasing the unit to 96 inches for large applications. www.sweepexproducts.com BROOM AVAILABLE IN RANGE OF WIDTHS Handle cleanup and maintenance jobs with York Broom's Model SSAB angle broom for skid steers. Requiring a 12- to 25-gpm hydraulic system with 1,800 to 2,250 psi, the broom mounts directly to the skid steer's quick attach system. The Model SSAB may be angled to a maximum of 30 degrees left or right, and the angling feature can be converted to hydraulic operation by replacing the manual control with a standard 10-inch stroke cylinder. Available in 6-, 7- and 8-foot widths, the broom has 32-inch convoluted brush sections, and can be equipped with all polypropylene, crimped wire or a 50/50 combination at no additional cost. Options include single point raise/lower storage stands on each side of the unit to protect the broom during maintenance and storage, and dirt defl ectors that protect the operator from fl ying debris. www.yorkmodern.com COMPACTION WHEELS CONVERT FROM STATIC TO VIBRATORY MBW's Universal Compaction Wheels feature interchangeable static or vibratory modes with the addition of a vibratory platform, signifi - cantly reducing shaft, seal and bearing failures associated with static wheels.
