Magnet attachment for ValuSweep
April 1st 2006

Distributor of the SweepEx modular brush system, Broadwood International, has responded to customer demand by producing a magnet attachment for its ValuSweep. Able to pick up nails, screws, steel shards and other metal refuse while sweeping, the magnet helps to increase job-site safety while reducing tyre damage to distribution and service vehicles.

The magnet assembly quickly fastens to the ValuSweep broom frame and hangs in front of the bristles using a chain mount system.

The non-rigid mount allows the magnet to readily adjust when encountering obstacles without sustaining damage during use.

Mounted in an aluminium casing, the magnet is said to be ideal for distribution centres, packaging companies, loading bays, timber and builders merchants or anywhere where metal debris poses a hazard to people and/or equipment. The industrialstrength magnet can pick up debris from as high as 8cm from the floor surface.

Smaller than the SweepEx, the ValuSweep is available in widths of either 1.2 or 1.5m and is suitable for both interior and exterior commercial sweeping.

Appropriate for a range of clean-up applications in warehouses and yards, the ValuSweep is safe and easy to control and requires minimal operator training.

Offering reduced clean-up costs, it is quickly and easily attached to a forklift using the Quick-Tite Fork Pockets.

The ValuSweep has no moving parts, which means maintenance and downtime are practically non-existent.

The compact design allows a powerful sweeping action both forwards and backwards allowing rapid, efficient and economical sweeping of large areas.
