Cuts through sawdust
June 1st 2007

Forest Garden, manufacturer of timber garden products, is making a clean sweep through sawdust and other debris at its sawmill and manufacturing facility in Lockerbie with the help of Broadwood's SweepEx push broom.

The heavy duty brush is quickly and simply coupled to the site's forklift truck using a specially designed hitch. Sweeping of the 5- acre yard is carried out in less than half an hour.

The device is suitable for applications such as clearing dirt, material spills and heavy debris. Hardwearing, heads and mounting hardware are made from industrial strength steel, with a heavy-duty powder coat finish.

SweepEx generates minimal dust, thereby protecting the operator, machinery and the environment, and debris is not thrown around during operation.
