HLA Attachments BR96BO500 96-Inch Hydraulic Rotary Broom combines the BR96 rotary angle broom with a BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach mount for sweeping with compatible loaders. Its 96-inch working width, direct hydraulic motor drive, 26-inch bristle wafers, and hydraulic angling help clear dirt and debris efficiently. A unique forward and lateral float system allows the broom to follow surface contours, while fixed gauge wheels help maintain a consistent operating position. Hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers are included for connection to a suitable auxiliary hydraulic system.
The BR96BO500 is hydraulically driven, eliminating the need for a PTO connection. It operates with hydraulic oil flow of 12–20 GPM at 1,500–3,000 PSI. The direct-drive hydraulic motor powers 24 large-diameter wafers across the broom’s 96-inch working width.
Standard bristles use a 50/50 combination of poly and steel. This configuration combines the sweeping action of poly bristles with steel bristles, while an all-poly arrangement is available as an option. Each wafer measures 26 inches in diameter.
Hydraulic angling allows the operator to position the broom up to 30 degrees to the right or 30 degrees to the left. This makes it possible to direct swept material toward the preferred side without manually repositioning the attachment.
The broom’s forward and lateral float functions help it follow changes in the working surface. Fixed gauge wheels support the broom during operation and assist with maintaining its working position as the loader moves over the area being swept.
The BO500 mounting interface is designed for loaders equipped with a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach system. The host loader must also provide adequate auxiliary hydraulic capacity for the broom’s specified flow and pressure range. Confirm the loader’s mounting interface, hydraulic output, and operating capacity before installation.
An optional reversing kit enables reverse broom rotation for applications where material needs to be swept away from doors or other obstacles. Dust control can be added with an optional 25-gallon water kit and spray nozzle. All-poly bristles and an OEM connection wire kit are also available as optional equipment.
