Best overall for general push sweeping: the Skid Pro Angle Broom. Best for parking lots and debris removal: the Pick Up Broom. Best for compact machines: the Mini Pick Up Broom.
TL;DR
- Skid Pro’s Angle Broom (72″ / 84″ / 96″) runs on a 12 GPM minimum with 30° hydraulic angle and auto float.
- The Pick Up Broom (72″ / 84″) collects into a hopper at 15–25 GPM and 3,500 PSI, with optional water kit and gutter brush.
- The Mini Pick Up Broom is 48″ wide and 500 lbs for mini skid steers.
- Match broom width to loader frame width, then confirm GPM—angle and pickup brooms are not interchangeable jobs.
- Confirm quick-attach fit on common skid steer and track loader brands before shipping.
Sweeper attachment basics
12 GPM minimum — Angle Broom required flow
15–25 GPM — Pick Up Broom operating flow
72″ / 84″ / 96″ — Angle Broom sweeping widths
Why this matters
A skid steer sweeper only works as well as its hydraulic match and collection method. An angle broom windrows debris; a pickup broom lifts it into a hopper. Buying the wrong type for a paved lot means a second cleanup pass you did not bid.
Skid Pro builds broom attachments manufacturer-direct in Alexandria, Minnesota (founded 2011). This list covers the live broom products with published spec tables.
What to verify
- Hydraulic flow and pressure — use the broom’s published GPM/PSI, not a generic industry range
- Broom width versus loader width — wider heads change curb and wall clearance
- Bristle material — poly or poly/steel wafers depending on model options
- Collect versus push — hopper pickup versus angled windrow
- Mount compatibility — confirm the plate on common skid steer and track loader brands
Skid Pro sweepers at a glance
| Attachment | Best for | Standout published specs | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angle Broom | General yard and site push sweeping | 72/84/96″ sweep; 30° angle; 12 GPM min; 970–1,090 lbs | Pushes debris aside—you still haul the pile |
| Pick Up Broom | Parking lots, paved cleanup | 72/84″ sweep; 15–25 GPM; 3,500 PSI; 1,300–1,600 lbs | Hopper capacity limits run time between dumps |
| Mini Pick Up Broom | Compact/mini machines | 48″ width; 500 lbs; 15″ bristles; direct drive | Not sized for full-size commercial lot volume |
1. Skid Pro Angle Broom: best overall for general push sweeping
The Skid Pro Angle Broom is the push/windrow sweeper. Spec tables list sweeping widths 72″, 84″, and 96″; overall widths 80″, 92″, and 104″; angle 30 degrees; full-angle sweeping widths 64.2 / 74.8 / 83.1″; overall depth 73″; required flow 12 GPM minimum; and weights 970 / 1,030 / 1,090 lbs.
Published features include auto float, spring-flex down pressure, direct-drive bidirectional motor, 5.5″ greaseable bearing, quick-exchange wafers, 10 gauge steel bristle hood, commercial-grade 32″ bristles, and poly/steel bristles available. The FAQ states you can clear snow, debris, or dirt with this sweeper, and that hydraulic angling adjusts without leaving the cab.
Why it stands out:
- Three widths with a clear 12 GPM minimum
- Hydraulic angle and auto float for uneven ground
- Bidirectional direct-drive motor
Best for: gravel lots, yards, job-site cleanup, and light snow where windrowing is acceptable.
What to watch: Debris ends up in a pile you still remove. For paved lots that must leave clean, use the Pick Up Broom instead.
2. Skid Pro Pick Up Broom: best for parking lots and paved surfaces
The Skid Pro Pick Up Broom sweeps debris into a hopper instead of a windrow. Spec tables list models 72″ and 84″, sweeping widths 72.0 / 84.0″, overall widths 79.8 / 91.8″, height 31.3″, depth 62.4″, operating flow 15–25 GPM, operating pressure 3,500 PSI, 35 / 41 wafers at 26″ diameter, and weights 1,300 / 1,600 lbs.
Published features include direct-drive bidirectional motor, quick-set hood/bristle adjustment, oversized rubber composite skirt, poly/steel bristles standard, optional gutter brush (adds 12″ cleaning width), and an optional water kit with a 50 gallon tank for about 30 minutes of continuous spray via electric pump.
Why it stands out:
- Collects debris in one pass on hard surfaces
- Published 15–25 GPM / 3,500 PSI operating window
- Optional water kit and gutter brush for dust and curb work
Best for: parking lots, warehouse yards, and paved job sites where debris must leave the surface.
What to watch: Heavier than the angle broom (1,300–1,600 lbs). Plan dump cycles around hopper capacity.
3. Mini Pick Up Broom: best for compact machines
The Mini Pick Up Broom fits mini skid steers. Spec tables list broom width 48″, direct-drive motor, frame thickness 3/16″, main tubing 2″ × 2 3/4″, and weight 500 lbs. Feature copy lists 15″ diameter bristles, replaceable rubber debris skirt, and 50/50 poly-steel mix bristle options.
Why it stands out:
- 48″ pickup broom sized for mini equipment
- Direct-drive motor and replaceable debris skirt
- 500 lb operating weight class for compact lift capacity
Best for: sidewalks, gated lots, and mini-loader fleets that need true debris collection.
What to watch: Not a full-size commercial lot broom. For full-size angle sweeping, use the 72–96″ Angle Broom instead.
How to choose
If you need fast windrowing on gravel or mixed sites, buy the Angle Broom and confirm at least 12 GPM. If debris must leave paved surfaces, buy the Pick Up Broom and confirm 15–25 GPM and 3,500 PSI. If you run a mini machine, buy the Mini Pick Up Broom at 48″.
For deep or heavy snow, use a dedicated Skid Pro snow pusher or snow blade—not a broom—as the primary tool.

FAQ
What’s the best Skid Pro sweeper for parking lots?
The Pick Up Broom—it collects into a hopper at 15–25 GPM instead of windrowing debris to the edge.
Is an angle broom better than a pickup broom?
Neither is universally better. The Angle Broom (12 GPM minimum) pushes debris aside; the Pick Up Broom (15–25 GPM) removes it. Choose by whether debris must leave the surface.
How much hydraulic flow does the Angle Broom need?
The Angle Broom spec table lists 12 GPM minimum.
Can a broom replace a snow pusher?
The Angle Broom FAQ says it can clear light snow, debris, or dirt, but deep or heavy snow belongs on a dedicated snow pusher or blade.
Do these brooms fit every loader brand?
No. Confirm quick-attach plate, flow, and pressure on your specific machine among common skid steer and track loader brands.
Bottom line
Choose the Angle Broom for general push sweeping, the Pick Up Broom when debris must be collected, and the Mini Pick Up Broom for compact machines. Verify the published GPM and width against your loader before it ships.
