Hydrapower’s forwards/backwards sweep road bucket - broom
attachment is designed to give the operator the ability to sweep
while driving the loader in either direction. The bucket comes
fitted with pick-up points to suit the loader’s quick hitch.
Three sweeping widths are available: 1800 mm (73RBH-04),
2000 mm (73RBH-03), 2400 mm (73RBH-02). The main brush
shaft is fitted with 860 mm x 250 mm (34” x 10”) individual
poly
and wire brushes. The standard set-up from our factory is with
half poly brushes and half wire brushes. This generally gives
the best performance as the poly segments pick up finer
particles and the wire segments give support to the poly
segments and assist in picking up larger particles.
The main brush shaft can be rotated in either direction (for
sweeping either forwards or backwards). The pilot operated
cross-port relief valve will prevent the brushes from changing
the direction of rotation until the brush shaft has come to a
complete stop. This relief valve also acts as a motor spool,
allowing the main shaft to free wheel if the hydraulic oil to
the motor is shut-off without firstly idling down.
When sweeping forwards the rubber skirting on the sides of
the lid directs swept material back into the brush, preventing
windrowing. Solid steel wheels fitted with non-greasable
agricultural bearings are fitted to each side of the bucket to
prevent the cutting edge from dragging or cutting into the
sweep-up area.
The snub-nose lid has been designed to allow the operator
to get as close as possible to kerbing and walls. The main
brush is driven directly via large displacement hydraulic
motors (one at each end of the shaft), thereby eliminating
the need for chains, sprockets and other wear parts. Fitted
onto the motor shafts are large steel drive couplings with
a durable polyurethane coating. The hinges on the lid run
full length across the top of the bucket to give adequate
strength and support to the lid assembly when dumping.
