Werk-Brau has launched angle brooms for skid steers, which can be used for road and site cleaning projects. The angle broom swings 30° left or right of center when cleaning and clearing snow, dirt, debris grass and more. Polypropylene brush with wire filaments support service life even in adverse conditions.
Hydraulically driven brooms of 6-ft. or 7-ft. widths are powered by a single hydraulic motor capable of 10-22 gpm flow (standard), with dual hydraulic motors (20-44 gpm) or a low flow (8-16 gpm) motor available as options. A standard skid steer quick coupler and storage stand are provided for simple mounting, dis-mounting and storage. Broom speeds of up to 200 RPM are attainable, depending on the prime mover, making this angle broom applicable for skid steer loaders of various makes, models and sizes.
Werk-Brau Angle Brooms are American-made and available with reasonable lead-times; some models are stocked for immediate shipment. The wafer style brush has 32-in. outside diameter (OD) x 10-in. inside diameter (ID). The brush core can be installed with either end to the left or right with no effect on sweeping performance, to simplify installation. Brush and core assembly can be removed from the frame without disconnecting drive motor hoses. The brush hood is manufactured from 16-gauge steel with formed edge fold for additional strength. Robust end plates are 12-gauge steel for durability. Brush hood covers 140° of brush and includes pre-drilled holes for installation of front deflector. Dirt deflectors are standard on all models.
Brooms are standard with a single, low-speed, high-torque 18-cid hydraulic motor. Motors are coupled directly to the brush core through a 1.25-in. 14-spline shaft. The motor is mounted outside of the brush frame and is protected by formed 0.25-in. guards. Hoses are provided from the hydraulic motor to bulkhead or valve on the broom. A spring system to dampen transportation bounce is included.
The finish consists of a black polyurethane topcoat with epoxy primer for protection from rugged elements. The steel surface undergoes a phosphatizing acid bath to clean and etch the surface for adhesion of primer and paint.
Optional accessories include low flow drive motor, dual standard flow drive motors, dual low flow drive motors, a 45-gallon sprinkler system mounted on the brush hood, sight indicators, an oil cooler and a hose kit.
