Rugged and made to last, the Elgin® Broom Bear® four-wheel mechanical (broom) sweeper is the most efficient on the market. Mounted on a commercially available conventional or cab-over chassis with fully dualized controls (single-steer optional) and an intelligent single-engine design that utilizes the chassis engine to power the sweeper. The Elgin Broom Bear features a large hopper and water tank, which means more productive sweeping time. Single-engine design keeps maintenance or the need for replacement sweeper parts to a minimum. A variable dumping height and 11” (279 mm) of hopper side-shift ensures easy dumping. This sweeper is available with your choice of squeegee or no-jam belt conveyor systems, depending on the application requirements.
