Ignite Attachments, a manufacturer of compact equipment attachments, has added a new angle broom attachment for skid steers and compact track loaders.
The attachment’s 22.5-inch operating height offers improved sightlines on the market for safer, more efficient operation. Features such as a fully reversible drum with individually replaceable polycarbonate bristle wafers, zinc-coated pins and drum carrier components and a motor-protecting guard.
The angle broom is available in working widths of 72 or 84 inches with a manual or hydraulic angling option and universal harness.
“When we launched Ignite Attachments as a disruptor to the stagnant attachment industry, we weren’t just focused on price or accessibility—we were concerned with functionality as well,” says Trisha Pearson, business director for Ignite Attachments. “An angle broom is a simple yet essential tool for so many compact equipment operators. The challenge was how to take this attachment to the next level in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness. Our engineers have delivered."
A low operating height is at the heart of Ignite’s angle broom design. This feature allows for better sightlines in front and to the sides of the attachment, making it easier to operate in tight spaces or near structures.
“Our team worked closely with parks and rec managers and landscape professionals to identify key pain points with current angle broom options,” Pearson says. “A better view of the area you’re sweeping was a major concern across the board. Our angle broom is significantly lower than what is currently available on the market.”
Ignite’s low-profile angle broom uses 24-inch diameter polycarbonate bristle wafers which hold up on sidewalks and other abrasive surfaces. Additionally, the entire drum can be removed with just a few bolts, allowing operators to rotate it 180 degrees for even wear across the whole broom. Wafers can also be individually replaced.
The Ignite angle broom also boasts a number of features for easy integration with any carrier brand and overall attachment durability. Both widths allow for a 25-degree max angle from the center. With the hydraulic option, the angle broom comes with a universal harness that works with any compact track loader or skid steer brand. A motor guard offers additional protection for key components when working in confined spaces and close to structures. The angle broom also comes standard with faster flat-faced couplers and full nylon hose sleeves.
“Striking a balance between quality and value is important when it comes to attachment investment,” Pearson says. “All Ignite attachments feature laser-cut steel for a precise fit and we use top-notch components that are user-friendly and long lasting. It’s part of our commitment — right fit, right price, right now.”
