Swept away

Light snowfalls and ice can be treated by salt and grit spreading, but for times when the snow is deeper, Broadwood's BroomEx power broom can now be used with a snow blade option.With tool-free attachment the steel blade simply drops on to the front of the BroomEx to clear snowfalls of up to 150mm deep, and comes in a choice of working widths from 0.8 to 1.2m.

The blade can be angled left or right, to clear ploughed snow from path or road, enabling grit or salt to be spread on to cleared areas, making the melt material more effective and reducing wastage and costs. Optional snow chains are also available.
