The HLA Attachments BR60BO500 Hydraulic Rotary Broom is a 60-inch power-angle sweeper designed for skid steers and compatible compact wheel loaders. Its direct hydraulic drive, 26-inch bristle wafers, and hydraulic angling provide the control needed to sweep debris efficiently from yards, lanes, parking areas, and other maintained surfaces. Unique forward and lateral float help the broom follow surface contours, while fixed gauge wheels support consistent broom positioning during operation. This BO500 configuration uses a skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier and includes hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers.
The BR60BO500 combines a nominal 60-inch broom width with hydraulic power angling up to 30 degrees to the left or right. The operator can direct swept material toward either side rather than simply pushing it straight ahead, making the broom useful where debris needs to be moved away from curbs, travel paths, entrances, or work areas.
A direct hydraulic motor drive powers the broom without a separate mechanical drive arrangement. The attachment requires a hydraulic supply of 12–20 GPM at 1,500–3,000 PSI. Hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers are included for connection to a compatible carrier.
Forward float allows the broom to respond as the carrier travels over changing terrain. Lateral float, with up to 3 degrees of oscillation, helps the broom follow side-to-side surface variations. Together, these floating functions help maintain more consistent bristle contact without requiring constant adjustment from the operator.
Fixed gauge wheels further support stable positioning while sweeping. The broom uses 26-inch-diameter 50/50 poly and steel bristle wafers, combining the characteristics of both bristle materials. The listed configuration includes 15 poly wafers, while an all-poly bristle arrangement is available as an option.
The BR60BO500 is intended for skid steers and compact wheel loaders with an operating weight of up to 13,000 lb. It is equipped with the BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach configuration. Before installation, confirm that the carrier has the correct quick-attach interface and can meet the broom’s hydraulic flow and pressure requirements.
The broom can be tailored to different sweeping conditions with several available options. All-poly bristles are offered for applications where that bristle configuration is preferred. An optional reversing kit provides reverse rotation capability. For dusty work areas, an optional dust-suppression water kit includes a 25-gallon tank and a single fan nozzle. An optional OEM connection wire kit is also available.
