Sweepster 72-Inch Pickup Broom for Skid Steers
Overview
Sweepster's 72-inch pickup broom is a popular mid-size pickup sweeper for skid steers, collecting swept debris into an integrated hopper rather than windrowing it. This self-contained design works well in areas where loose debris must be contained — indoor job sites, covered parking garages, and urban environments. Sweepster's reputation for robust North American construction makes this a preferred choice for Canadian municipalities and contractors.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You need to collect material into a hopper, not just push it aside — cleanup is contained in one pass
- You're cleaning surfaces where side-casting would create a secondary mess (near curbs, drainage, sensitive areas)
⛔ Skip if…
- Capacity is the issue — hopper fills faster than a windrow, meaning more dump cycles on large jobs
- The attachment weight of a pickup broom is a concern on smaller machines (1,100+ lbs loaded hopper)
🔍 Also consider…
- Angle broom for high-speed open-area cleanup where windrow isn't an issue
- Sweeper with water tank if dust suppression is needed
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.
