Clear the Way With Confidence: Sibom’s Heavy-Duty Angle Broom Attachment for Skid Steer Loaders

1 | Why an Angle Broom Beats Push-Buckets and Hand Crews

Snowfall at dawn, gravel spills at 10 a.m., dusty job-site exits by lunch—every workday throws new cleanup challenges at contractors and public-works teams. A push bucket jams on icy expansion joints; a pickup-mounted sweeper can’t maneuver between bollards. Enter the angle broom attachment: a purpose-built, hydraulically powered rotary brush that mounts to any universal skid-steer plate, delivers pinpoint control, and finishes in one pass where shovels or blowers would need three.

Whether you call it an angle sweeper for skid steer, skid steer rotary broom, or snow broom for skid steer, Sibom’s latest model combines robust construction with features normally reserved for airport or DOT sweepers—yet stays compact enough for landscaping contractors and facilities managers.

2 | Performance Built on Direct-Drive Power

Most entry-level brooms use a chain drive hidden in a grease-filled box. Chains stretch; sprockets rust; downtime follows. Sibom goes straight to an direct-drive hydraulic motor. Oil flows directly from your skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulics into the motor, spinning the 31.5-inch brush at up to 220 rpm—plenty of tip speed to throw powder snow 10 feet or break compacted millings free from asphalt pores.

The motor’s heavy-duty shaft rides on tapered roller bearings seated in a steel hub, not plastic bushings. A steel sleeve guards against wire-bristle abrasion, while a triple-lip seal keeps slurry out. Hook up the case drain line, plug in the flat-face couplers, and your broom is high-flow ready. Operators running 30 gpm on larger compact loaders will see a crisp, even broom face; those on 16 gpm mini skid steers get the torque they need at slightly lower rpm.

3 | Smart Swing and Float—Control Without White-Knuckle Steering

A good broom clears the pavement; a great broom also protects it. Sibom’s floating brush design uses dual compression springs and a rocker pivot. As you lower the quick-attach plate, the broom head self-levels, riding on lightly loaded casters. The operator never worries about feathering loader arms every five feet—just drive, sweep, and go.

Need to change the windrow side? Hit the in-cab controller for rotation and deflection. The hydraulic ram swings ± 30 degrees; the same thumb switch toggles bi-directional broom rotation. Combined with the flexible steering control system of a skid steer, you can spiral-clean a cul-de-sac, chase salt off warehouse loading bays, or peel matted pine needles off stamped concrete without leaving a trace.

4 | Built to Withstand Job-Site Abuse

1. Brush core—1/4-in thick DOM tube, press-fit end caps, balanced at the factory to < 0.06 in run-out.
2. Motor guard frame—wraps around the Eaton drive, shielding housings from signposts and pallet racks.
3. High-strength deck—robot-welded 6 mm plate with full-length angle-iron stiffeners.
4. Adjustable protection stand—set the deck onto its own legs at day’s end—no bristle memory set.
5. Wear-resistant broom roller—hardened 55-HRC shaft sleeves shrug off wire scour.

Result? A heavy-duty broom for snow and debris that shrugs off 1 500-lb curb hits, keeps spinning in sub-zero slush, and resists torsion twist on crowned rural roads.

5 | Bristle Science—Why Poly/Wire Mix Beats 100 % Poly

Pure poly is quiet and kind to decorative concrete, but it struggles against crusted ice or clay. Pure steel shreds ice—but also the pavement, and it throws sparks. Sibom alternates elastic polypropylene bristles with crimped spring wire every fourth wafer. The wire “teeth” fracture calcified grime; the poly segments flick fines away while preserving surface coatings. Field tests show the mix lasts 25 % longer on municipal routes and 34 % longer in calcium-rich snow than budget all-poly wafers.

When the first row finally wears to 7 in, loosen six bolts, shift the core half a turn, and squeeze another 150 hours before full changeout—no puller needed.

Need a smaller loader? Choose our adjustable angle broom for compact loaders in 60 in. Need a monster? The 84-in high-flow spec clears interstate shoulders at 8 mph.

7 | Operator Comfort & Control

• Flexible steering control system—ISO joysticks or H-pattern, your call
• Foot-throttle creep for low-rpm dust control, manual throttle stick for fixed RPM snow work
• Positive-pressure cab keeps silica and de-icing dust outside
• Quiet operator cab (83 dB(A) with broom at full rpm) means fewer OSHA breaks
• Bright LED work lights cut through spindrift; optional beacon meets DOT regs

Ergonomic benefits translate straight to labor savings—operators report 17 % less fatigue vs. push-bucket cleanup and 30 % faster cycle times than front-mounted pickup sweepers that must stop to dump.
