Description
Wire brooms and manual scrapers take hours of backbreaking labor to sweep compacted street sand and gravel out of turf and parking lots. The Makita Bristle Brush Couple Shaft Attachment uses dense nylon bristles to sweep dirt, gravel, and standing water off paved surfaces. It clears a 23-inch path. Pushing heavy gravel requires steady arm effort.
The structural gear case is cast from high-strength aluminum housing case-hardened alloy steel reduction gears running in high-pressure grease. High-density durable nylon bristles form two wide cylindrical drums that rotate inside sealed cartridge ball bearings. The heavy-gauge steel splined drive shaft clicks straight into Makita commercial multi-tool powerheads without rotational play.
Bristle Brush Surface Sweeping Hardware
Dense rotating nylon bristles scour dirt, pea gravel, and winter road salt out of lawn turf without tearing grass roots or throwing rocks into cars. The wide sweep path moves heavy puddles and wet slush off paved walks.
- 23-inch sweeping swath cleans parking stalls, sidewalks, and turf verges fast in single forward passes.
- Dense durable nylon bristle drums scour packed dirt and gravel out of pavement cracks and turf.
- Heavy-duty cast-aluminum gear case incorporates severe reduction gearing to maximize pushing torque.
- Steel splined drive shaft couples straight into Makita 18V X2 and 40V max XGT couple shaft powerheads.
- Wide curved debris deflector shield prevents wet slurry and gravel from spraying back at the operator.
- Sealed ball bearings on bristle axles isolate sand, dirty water, and concrete dust from gear teeth.
- Quick-release locking pin secures the attachment firmly into the powerhead receiver socket.
Sweeper Load Bench Telemetry Data
Sweeping dense crushed limestone out of lawn turf with a 40V powerhead pulls 22 Amps at 200 brush drum RPM. Gear case surface temperature stabilizes at 130°F after 35 minutes of continuous parking lot clearing. Bristle mechanical drag absorbs 640 Watts of continuous power under heavy forward pushing resistance. Operating acoustic emissions measure 71 dBA at the operator ear position.
Jobsite Surface Cleaning Scope Protocols
Landscape contractors, synthetic turf installers, and snow removal crews clear gravel and standing water fast with this bristle brush attachment. Do not run this bristle attachment over hot sticky asphalt emulsion that will melt and mat the nylon bristles. Never operate without the curved debris guard installed.
- Wash packed mud and sand slurry out of the bristle drums with a garden hose after each work shift.
- Pump high-pressure gear grease into the gear case grease plug hole every 30 hours of use.
- Inspect bristle drums for missing bristle tufts and replace worn drum sections every season.
