Elgin Sweepers debuted its new Broom Badger on June 24. It's ideal for municipalities and contractors looking for a compact street sweeper, according to Tim Letts, Elgin Sweeper product manager.

"The upgraded Broom Badger not only provides efficient and reliable cleaning, but also is backed by our established, extensive network of dealers for the life of the sweeper," Letts said.

The sweep path has been increased to 120" including dual, 42" side brooms. Curved edges in the sweeper's elevator reduce noise. The elevator cover opens wider for clean-out operations. The hydraulics system has also been redesigned.

The upgraded operator controls are also easy for new operators to learn and understand, according to a press release. No CDL is required to operate the Broom Badger.
