What Is a Rotary Snow Brush?

A rotary snow brush (also called snow sweeper roller or snow broom roller) removes fresh, soft, or lightly compacted snow through a high-speed rotating brush. Compared with snow plows, which push heavy snow, the rotary brush sweeps the surface clean without damaging the pavement.

Common Application Scenarios

A rotary snow brush is widely used in:

• Municipal road snow clearing
• Highway service zones
• Parking lots & shopping centers
• Airport runways & taxiways
• Industrial plants & logistics yards
• Schools, parks, and residential communities

For broad early-stage snowfall, rotary brushes work more efficiently than snow plows.

How to Use a Rotary Snow Brush？

1. When Snow Just Falls (Loose Snow Stage)

Snow brush / snow plow → de-icing spreader

• For evenly distributed loose snow → choose the rotary snow brush
• For accumulated or uneven piles → the snow plow performs better

After removing most snow, use a salt spreader / de-icing spreader to prevent ice formation.

2. Operating Steps

1. Mount the snow broom attachment on tractor or skid steer
2. Adjust sweeping angle (left/right)
3. Set ideal brush speed (200–380 r/min depending on model)
4. Start cleaning with a stable driving speed (10–30 km/h)
5. After work, wash the bristles and check hydraulic lines
