Paladin Ice Shark Snow Blower

Overview

The Paladin Ice Shark snow blower is described as a premium-grade skid steer snow blower with a backdrag option — a patented feature that lets the operator remove snow as close as 6 inches from walls without shoveling. The 72-inch model requires 15–27 GPM. It also features a 3D floating hitch for uneven surface operation, a dual articulating chute with 270-degree motion, and toolless adjustable steel skid skis. Distributed in Canada through Langner Equipment.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You clean up debris, sand, and small material from hard surfaces like concrete, asphalt, or warehouse floors
  • Spring road sand cleanup in Canadian parking lots is a core task for your machine

Skip if

  • You need to collect the material, not just move it — an angle broom side-casts debris into a windrow
  • Fine dust or regulated material (silica) requires containment — an angle broom disperses it

Also consider

  • Pickup broom if you need to collect material rather than side-cast it
  • Street sweeper or vacuum attachment if dust control is a regulatory requirement
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

About Paladin Attachments in Canada

Paladin Attachments — now part of Epiroc — manufactures under multiple brands including Bradco, McMillen, and Sweepster. Their products are distributed across North America with Canadian dealers stocking common models.

Care & Maintenance

  • Inspect broom fill length after every 20 hours of use — bristles below minimum length drag rather than sweep, waste time, and mask the fact that you need a replacement
  • Clean debris wrapped in the drum core after every extended session — wire, hair, and root cause drum imbalance and stress the hydraulic motor bearings
  • Grease drum bearing end caps monthly during active use periods
  • Check hydraulic motor connections and angle cylinder fittings weekly — broom motors work hard and connection fittings loosen over time
  • Store on end or off the ground so bristle fill doesn't take a permanent set under drum weight — brooms stored drum-down develop flat spots in the fill that affect sweep quality

How to Connect

  1. Attach broom frame using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect hydraulic couplers for rotation motor
  3. Verify rotation direction (forward-sweep or reverse-sweep per job)
  4. Adjust broom angle if applicable — most have manual tilt adjust
Safety NoteBrooms are typically standard-flow (10-18 GPM). Angle brooms can swivel — set angle before engaging rotation.
