Skid Steer Broom

View as

A dedicated skid steer broom attachment turns your machine into a high-output sweeper that keeps work moving and surfaces safe. It is a core cleanup tool in our skid-steer broom lineup.

These attachments are ideal for sweeping dirt, debris, and mulch off driveway approaches, concrete pads, and warehouse floors. Options include power-angle, pickup, and pushbrooms to match your material-handling needs. 

Choosing the right broom attachment for a skid steer means matching broom width, hydraulic flow, and bristle type to your machine and work. North American-built units from brands like Blue Diamond offer long-term durability, proven in demanding environments.

What Sets our Skid Steer Broom Apart

  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Each skid steer broom is a heavy-duty tool, featuring thick end plates, reinforced frames, and motor housings protected for daily commercial use.

  • Durable Bristles: We offer poly, steel, or poly/steel wafer packs to balance aggressiveness and surface protection on concrete, asphalt, or gravel.

  • Flexible Control Options: Choose hydraulic or manual angle control. Many models include a hydraulic angle from the cab, while others use manual angle adjustment for simplicity.

  • Serviceable Components: Features such as greaseable pivot points, replaceable bushing sets, and accessible bearing locations make maintenance straightforward and extend service life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Skid Steer Broom

  • Broom Width: Match the broom width to your skid steer loaders. Common sizes like 60″ to 96″ widths should cover your tires while still fitting between obstacles.

  • Hydraulic Flow: Check your machine’s hydraulic flow; many sweeper attachments are designed to run in the 15–25 gpm range. Undersized flow reduces brush speed and cleaning efficiency.

  • Broom Style: Decide between a skid steer angle broom for windrowing material or a skid steer pickup broom with a hopper and pickup function when you need to collect debris.

  • Surface & Application: Consider whether you primarily clean parking lots, sidewalk edges, or job sites with loose aggregate and light snow-removal needs.

  • Mount & Power Source: Confirm that the skid steer attachment fits your coupler and that your skid loader or tractor has the electrical connection, if required, for water kits or horn functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which broom type is best for my application: Angle, Pickup, or Sweeper Bucket?

  • Angle Brooms: Ideal for "windrowing" material like dirt, gravel, or snow to the side. These are best for road shoulders, large parking lots, and paths where debris doesn't need to be hauled away.
  • Pickup (Hopper) Brooms: These collect material into a bucket for disposal. Choose this for construction sites and other areas where dust control and debris removal are mandatory.
  • Sweeper Buckets: Like the Digga series, these are standard buckets that sweep in both forward and reverse, making them highly versatile for tight cleanup tasks.

What are the exact hydraulic flow requirements for these brooms?

Efficiency depends on matching your machine's GPM to the motor of the attachment.

  • Standard Duty: Models like the Paladin Sweepster SB typically require 15–25 GPM.
  • Heavy Duty / High Capacity: Industrial models like the Paladin Sweepster QCSS require higher flows, ranging from 20–36 GPM, to deliver the torque needed for heavy debris.
  • Manual Options: We offer manual angle brooms, such as the Blue Diamond Series 2, which require 0 GPM and are powered solely by the machine's movement.

Which bristle material should I choose for maximum productivity?

We supply high-quality wafers designed for professional longevity.

  • Poly Bristles: These are non-aggressive and the "flicking" choice for snow, turf, or delicate surfaces like sealed concrete.
  • Wire (Steel) Bristles: Use these to "cut" through stubborn, caked-on mud and aggregate. Note that all-wire sets can be aggressive on finished surfaces.
  • Poly-Wire Mix: This is our most recommended "pro-standard" for versatile, daily commercial cleanup.

How do these broom attachments handle long-term durability and storage?

Our North American-made attachments, including those from Virnig and Blue Diamond, utilize heavy-duty reinforced steel frames and 10-gauge steel hoods.

  • Storage Protection: To prevent bristle deformation, many of our units (like the Blue Diamond and Paladin series) feature retractable storage legs or fold-away stands that keep the weight off the wafers when the broom is not in use.
  • Motor Safety: We prioritize direct-drive systems and protected motor mounts to shield the hydraulic components from flying debris.

Are these brooms effective for commercial snow removal?

Yes. A skid steer angle broom is an excellent tool for clearing light to moderate snow and slush from sidewalks and stalls. Professionals often use these to provide a "clean sweep" after a snow pusher has cleared the bulk, ensuring a surface that is safer for pedestrians and easier to salt.
