Product Spotlight: Street Sweeper Brooms
Everyone needs street sweeping brooms this time of year and Glenco is ready!
We supply brooms for every type of sweeper in the industry—all mechanical, road construction and attachment sweepers are available and ready to ship.
Now that spring has arrived, pavement maintenance professionals are assessing and addressing the effects of the winter and municipalities are engaged in spring cleaning. Street departments are working to remove debris that accumulated over fall and winter. Leaves, twigs, pebbles, salt, and snow melt residues must be removed to prepare the roadway surfaces for the process of repairing potholes, resurfacing, and repainting streets in spring and summer.
Glenco President Glen Abrams stresses the importance of quality brooms in roadway maintenance:
“When it comes to sweeper brooms, it is important to invest in a product made with high quality rather than attempt to save a few dollars on a cheaper version. The quality broom will last longer and do a better job cleaning your roads, which translates into fewer brooms to purchase and change.”
Glenco has a full range of top-quality brooms to ensure that our customers have whatever they need to maintain clean, safe, smooth roads. Our product lines include:
All-Pro Strip Brooms are designed as an alternative to traditional tube brooms. They provide efficient sweeping, convenient storage, ease of disposal and simple brush changes. Their individual polypropylene strips are mounted on a mandrel, forming a full size, densely bristled broom. Fused polypropylene bristles do the digging and flicking necessary to remove heavy debris. When worn, the strips are simply removed from the mandrel by undoing the bolts that secure the fiber guard, sliding the old strips out, sliding the new strips in, and rebolting. The entire process takes about 10 minutes.
Tube Brooms are the industry leader for aggressive sweeping, overall performance, and durability. It is top-of-the-line and upholds stringent quality standards. The bristles have more filament, which increases the broom’s overall life span. This configuration allows for more thorough debris collection and improves sweeping performance.
Gutter Brooms are offered in every make and model sweeper on the road today. The patented wire’s durable spring action keeps the Gutter Brooms firm, in shape, and ready for heavy duty jobs. Topped with high-impact resistant blocks, Gutter Brooms are designed to handle heavy curb sweeping. Poly-filled Gutter Brooms are also available for applications where wire cannot be used. They are available for model sweepers and can be purchased in 1-section, 2-section, 4-section, 5-section our 12-section brooms, depending on the style of the sweeper.
Wafer Brooms in poly, wire, and combo wafer have set the standard in quality and durability. Providing more usage hours between broom changes, Glenco’s Wafers are suited for tough road debris on asphalt, gravel, mill grind, clay, and mud. They are an ideal choice for sweeper attachments and road construction brooms. Wafer Brooms are easy to change and available in convoluted or flat styles with an array of features and options to suit all applications.
