Martatch 48-Inch Skid Steer Pickup Broom
Overview
Martatch's 48-inch pickup broom is a compact option for smaller skid steers working in tight spaces, commercial parking lots, and municipal sidewalks. The 24-inch diameter poly/steel bristle wafers sweep and collect debris effectively, and hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers are included. Front gauge wheels keep the broom at consistent working height. Recommended hydraulic flow 12-22 GPM. Available through TAG Equipment across Canada.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You need to collect material into a hopper, not just push it aside — cleanup is contained in one pass
- You're cleaning surfaces where side-casting would create a secondary mess (near curbs, drainage, sensitive areas)
Skip if
- Capacity is the issue — hopper fills faster than a windrow, meaning more dump cycles on large jobs
- The attachment weight of a pickup broom is a concern on smaller machines (1,100+ lbs loaded hopper)
Also consider
- Angle broom for high-speed open-area cleanup where windrow isn't an issue
- Sweeper with water tank if dust suppression is needed
Compact size fits small-frame machines (S70–S185 class) as well as mid and large-frame loaders. Universal SSQA mount works with all major brands.

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
- Attach broom frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic couplers for rotation motor
- Verify rotation direction (forward-sweep or reverse-sweep per job)
- Adjust broom angle if applicable — most have manual tilt adjust
