Sweeper Wear Part

Side Brushes for Curb, Edge and Corner Sweeping

A sweeper side brush, also called a gutter broom or side broom, rotates at the front or side of the machine. It moves debris away from curbs, gutters, corners and road edges into the collection path of the main broom or vacuum system.

Correct fit depends on the top plate, center opening, bolt pattern, finished diameter and installed angle. The machine model is a useful reference, but these mounting details must still be confirmed.

Construction Options

Gutter Broom Constructions

Whole Round-Top Gutter Brooms

A complete circular plastic or wood top plate carries the brush fill and mounts to the sweeper hub. We can manufacture large round-top gutter brooms with finished diameters up to 1,100 mm, subject to the approved plate, mounting and fill construction.

Segmented Gutter Brooms

Separate brush blocks mount around the drive plate and can simplify replacement on machines designed for individual segments. Segment count, block shape, holes, bolt spacing and orientation must match the approved drawing.

Fill Selection

Bristle and Wire Options

01

Polypropylene Fill

PP side brushes are used for routine road litter, dust and general paved-surface sweeping where a less aggressive filament is suitable.

02

Steel-Wire Fill

Flat or round steel wire provides stronger loosening and cutting action for compacted curb debris, rough pavement and demanding sweeping conditions. Wire dimensions and grade must match the application and machine load.

04

Mixed Poly and Wire Fill

Mixed fill combines synthetic bristles for carrying debris with steel wire for loosening more resistant material. The poly-to-wire arrangement, row layout and tuft density are manufactured to the approved specification.

Selection Details

Machine Fit and Sweeping Conditions

Machine Fit

Built Around the Sweeper Mounting Interface

The same finished diameter does not guarantee that two gutter brooms are interchangeable. Replacement fit may depend on:

  • whole plate or segmented construction
  • top-plate diameter, height and center opening
  • bolt count, hole size and bolt-circle diameter
  • locating pins, recesses or drive features
  • left or right position and direction of rotation
  • installed tilt and contact angle
  • row count, tuft angle and trim length

Send the existing brush drawing or a dimensioned sketch. Clear photos of both the working face and mounting side are also useful.

Operating Conditions

Match the Fill to the Sweeping Duty

Identify the surface and debris before selecting the fill:

  • municipal streets, curb lines and parking areas
  • fine dust, leaves and light litter
  • sand, gravel and mixed road debris
  • compacted dirt and heavier curb deposits
  • wet sweeping, winter residue or corrosive exposure

Brush selection should account for the machine's down pressure, operating angle and contact pattern. Excessive pressure or an incorrect angle can increase wear without improving debris collection.

Replacement Review

Replacement and Repeat Production

For OEM and replacement projects, start with the sweeper manufacturer, model or existing part number, then confirm the physical interface from the drawing or old brush.

After the mounting, fill and approved specification are confirmed, the same brush can be produced in repeat batches. For an unfamiliar replacement, send the old brush or dimensioned photos before production.

Batch Supply After Approval

Include the order quantity, inspection requirements, packaging and expected reorder schedule in the RFQ. The approved specification can then be used for future repeat orders.

Purchasing Questions

FAQ

What measurements are required for a replacement gutter broom?

Provide the finished brush diameter, top-plate or block dimensions, plate height, center opening, bolt count, bolt-hole diameter, bolt-circle diameter, installed angle, row count and trim length. A drawing or old brush is the safest reference.

Can you match a gutter broom from the sweeper model alone?

The machine model is a useful starting point but is not always sufficient. Model revisions and regional configurations may use different mounting plates or brush constructions. Confirm the old-brush dimensions and mounting side before production.

Should I choose PP, steel wire or mixed fill?

PP is commonly used for general sweeping and less aggressive contact. Steel wire is used where compacted debris and rough surfaces need more cutting action. Mixed fill combines synthetic debris carrying with wire agitation. Final selection depends on the surface, debris, machine load and any restriction on loose metal fragments.

Can I replace only the flat steel wire bundles?

Yes, when the existing gutter-broom plate, segment or steel holder is designed for removable or refillable wire bundles. Send one old bundle and the holder dimensions so the wire size, bundle count, end fixing and installed length can be matched. If the wire is permanently tufted or molded into the plate, a complete plate or segment may be required instead.

Do you manufacture whole and segmented gutter brooms?

Yes. Whole round-top and segmented constructions are available within the referenced supply range. Segment count, plate design and mounting pattern must follow the approved drawing.
