FB-85 Front Mounted Broom


FB-85-ProductShot

↓ Overview

The Roadtec FB-85 broom stands up to the punishment your highway projects dole out. It’s constructed the Roadtec way: solid, dependable, and durable. Roadtec axle capacity of 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg) comes in at twice the strength of competing models. Thanks to the telescoping broom head, the front-mounted FB-85 model allows the operator to switch brooms quickly. Our side shift feature prevents tire wear when sweeping next to a curb. You can mount the broom drive motor on the right or left side of the broom head. It’s switched over easily so you can flush-sweep on both sides. Sealed brakes, easy engine access and a well-designed cab add even more value.

Telescoping Broom Head

The broom head on the FB-85 can be hydraulically extended in and out to handle brushes from 72" (183 cm) wide to 96" (244 cm) wide.  This also allows the broom head to side shift to help keep your tires from rubbing against curbs and edges of milling cuts.
