Overview
Sweepster makes a gutter broom attachment for skid steers designed to clean curb lines, gutters, and edges more effectively than a straight-angle broom. Sweepster products are distributed in Canada and are popular with municipal road maintenance contractors doing spring cleanup after Canadian winter sand and salt applications. The gutter broom head rotates at an angle to pull material away from curbs.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You apply sand or salt to icy or snowy surfaces as part of a snow removal contract
- You want a single attachment that works on a skid steer you already own
⛔ Skip if…
- You cover large distances — a dedicated spreader truck covers ground faster
- You spread liquid de-icer — these are dry material spreaders only
🔍 Also consider…
- Snow pusher if your primary task is pushing, not spreading
- A tow-behind spreader if a skid steer isn't your primary vehicle for this task
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.
About Sweepster in Canada
Sweepster is part of the Paladin/Epiroc family and is one of the most recognized names in angle brooms for skid steers. Sweepster brooms are available through Canadian equipment dealers and are a proven choice for municipal, commercial, and construction sweeping applications.
Care & Maintenance
- Inspect broom fill length after every 20 hours of use — bristles below minimum length drag rather than sweep, waste time, and mask the fact that you need a replacement
- Clean debris wrapped in the drum core after every extended session — wire, hair, and root cause drum imbalance and stress the hydraulic motor bearings
- Grease drum bearing end caps monthly during active use periods
- Check hydraulic motor connections and angle cylinder fittings weekly — broom motors work hard and connection fittings loosen over time
- Store on end or off the ground so bristle fill doesn't take a permanent set under drum weight — brooms stored drum-down develop flat spots in the fill that affect sweep quality
How to Connect
- Attach broom frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic couplers for rotation motor
- Verify rotation direction (forward-sweep or reverse-sweep per job)
- Adjust broom angle if applicable — most have manual tilt adjust
⚠ Safety NoteBrooms are typically standard-flow (10-18 GPM). Angle brooms can swivel — set angle before engaging rotation.
