Seeing is believing
April 1st 2011

Available from Broadwood, the SweepEx is used to great effect in industrial applications such as distribution centres, builders' merchants yards, or recycling centres, as well as in agricultural tasks such as sweeping farmyards, cattle sheds and grain stores, brushing in topdressing or sweeping up green waste in groundcare.

The reason it works so well is said to be to do with the bristle design, which has just the right amount of spacing between each tough polypropylene strand, and each row of bristles is perfectly spaced to cope with sweeping demands.

Broadwood has released a short video showing the SweepEx in action in a number of applications.

Interested viewers can access the video through YouTube, by searching for 'Broadwood', or by visiting www.sweepexeurope.com.
