Excavator sweeper attachments are a valuable tool for construction sites, industrial facilities and other areas that require heavy-duty cleaning and debris removal. Understanding excavator attachments and how to handle them is key to maximising their efficiency and extending their lives. 

In this blog, Tilly's Crawler Parts discusses the different tasks you can use an excavator sweeper attachment for, its advantages and how it can help make cleaning and debris removal more efficient.

How Does the Excavator Sweeper Work?

The excavator sweeper features a sweeping brush that rotates at high speeds and can collect debris and dirt from the surface being cleaned. The debris is then collected in a container or hopper connected to the attachment. 

The excavator sweeper attachment is designed to be highly versatile. You can use it to sweep driveways, parking lots and other paved surfaces, clean up construction sites and industrial facilities and remove leaves and debris from gardens, parks and yards.

Excavator Sweeper Types

There are different types of sweeper attachments available, each with its specific features and capabilities. Some of the most common types include:

1. Rotary broom attachment: This sweeper sweeps debris into a collection hopper using a rotating brush.
2. Mechanical broom attachment: It sweeps debris into a collection hopper or container using a mechanical broom.
3. Vacuum sweeper attachment: Used for both dry and wet debris, this attachment uses suction to collect debris.
4. Power broom attachment: This type of sweeper uses a high-powered brush to sweep debris into a collection hopper or container.
5. Flail mower attachment: This type of attachment uses a spinning drum with chains or flails to mow down and remove unwanted vegetation.
