Short Wheelbase, Increased Maneuverability

With its short wheelbase, the Broom Bear provides a tight, 19-foot turning radius.  The compact design increases maneuverability and makes the Broom Bear ideal for sweeping in narrow streets and cul-de-sacs.

Variable-height Dump, Quicker Dumping

The standard variable-height dump feature allows operators to unload from ground level to dump truck height and anywhere in between.  With this lift system, the hopper can be emptied at heights from 32 inches to just over 10 feet, providing easy roll-off and clean dumping action.  With its side-shift capability, the hopper can shift to the right 11 inches, allowing for material to be unloaded into the center of a truck or container.  The Broom Bear variable dump system is powered by a unitized, twin-cylinder, double-scissors lift for maximum strength, rigidity and trouble-free operation.  With a lift capacity designed for loads up to 11,000 pounds, the hopper can be raised to full height, dumped and retracted in as little as 70 seconds, with short dump intervals as fast as 20 seconds.

Conventional Chassis/Single Engine

The straightforward, single-engine layout provides greater fuel efficiency and requires less maintenance than a two engine machine.  The conventional chassis enhances safety and comfort, while lowering the overall cost of operation.

Side Brooms

Large 44-inch dual side brooms feature a free-floating trailing arm designed to offer four-way motion along with steel plate sideways construction to protect against obstacles.  Pneumatic lift and extension control provide unique sweeping action in front of the main broom.  Plus, the brooms can be pinned out to provide up to 12 feet of coverage, making it easy to reach deep into curves, cul-de-sacs and other tight areas.

Conveyor System

A steel roller chain drives an 11-flight, squeegee-type conveyor to load debris into the hopper  The chain operates on polyurethane sprockets, which last longer.  Conveyor speed is constant and matched to the broom speed for optimal loading performance.  Conveyor operating height can be raised from the cab to avoid larger debris and other obstacles.  Conveyor bearings are sealed and self-aligned for longer life.

Rear Broom Spray Bar

The rear broom spray bar assists with the application of water to clean the street.

LifeLiner® Hopper System

The LifeLiner® hopper system greatly improves the life, durability, and functionality of the sweeper.

Right-Hand/Left-Hand Side Broom Tilt

Allows the operator to adjust the tilt of the brooms for maximum efficiency.

Alternate Fuel

The Broom Bear is capable of operating on compressed natural gas (CNG)
