At United Rotary Brush, we know our street sweeper brooms play a critical role. They help keep our streets and parking areas clean. URB brooms aren’t all the same. Each type is designed with a specific purpose in mind. Some work better in certain environments than others. So, choosing the right broom from United Rotary Brush helps extend machine life, save time, and deliver better sweeping results.
Types of Street Sweeper Brooms:
Tube Brooms for Heavy Debris
Tube brooms are among the most common and reliable types. They’re built as cylindrical brushes and rotate horizontally beneath the sweeper. Tube brooms are ideal for tough cleanup jobs. They do well with heavy dirt, gravel, and sand.
When you’re sweeping large surfaces like streets or industrial zones, tube brooms offer the power you need. These brooms are known for aggressive contact and wide coverage.
We recommend regular inspection for wear and bristle loss. A timely sweeper broom replacement keeps performance high and equipment safe.
Strip Brooms for Quick Change-Outs
Strip brooms are built with replaceable strips that slide into a core. Instead of replacing an entire broom, operators can swap out individual strips. This design is cost-effective and saves time during change out.
Strip brooms offer solid performance across a range of conditions. They work well on roadways and parking lots. If your operation requires fast, efficient broom swaps, strip brooms are a smart solution.
As a leading sweeper broom manufacturer, we know strip brooms are a practical fit for fleets that operate year-round and can’t afford downtime.
Gutter Brooms for Edge Cleaning
Gutter brooms are side-mounted and rotate horizontally. They are designed for cleaning along curbs and gutters. Gutter brooms also clean corners and hard-to-reach places that larger brooms can’t access. Gutter brooms break up compacted debris. Then, the gutter brooms sweep it into the path of the main broom.
These brooms are essential for thorough cleaning. Without them, material along the edges gets missed. For best results, it’s important to monitor bristle length and plan for street sweeper broom replacement as needed.
We supply durable gutter brooms that are built to handle all debris.
Wafer Brooms for Versatility
Wafer brooms are made up of multiple round sections stacked together to form a complete broom. This design is versatile and works well on mechanical sweepers. Wafer brooms come in poly, wire, or a mix of both.
They’re effective for light and heavy sweeping and are commonly used on roadways, construction zones, and airports. Poly wafers are better for dust, while wire is ideal for packed debris.
As a trusted street sweeper broom manufacturer, we ensure our wafers are consistent, balanced, and ready to install.
When to Consider a Replacement
No matter what type of broom you use, all sweeper brooms wear down over time. If your sweeper starts leaving streaks, missing debris, or making more passes than usual, it’s probably time for a sweeper broom replacement.
Waiting too long reduces cleaning quality and increases stress on the equipment. It’s always better to replace early than deal with machine downtime.
Our team can help identify the right broom for your model and schedule replacements before performance drops.
Matching the Broom to the Job
Different sweepers and applications call for different broom types. Construction sites have their own challenges. That’s why choosing the right broom is critical.
We manufacture all major broom types to fit all sweeper brands. Whether you manage municipal streets or road construction surfaces, we’ve got a broom that fits your machine and your needs.
By using the right broom for the job, you get cleaner results with less wear and fewer breakdowns.
