Switch Broom

The main use of a switch broom on a railway is to remove dirt, leaves, water and snow from switches and tracks. It is also ideal for cleaning in tight spaces.

Our switch broom consists of a plastic body with embossed polypropylene fibres.

A reusable handle holder is attached to the broom body (to be ordered separately). The handle holder and handle can be reused when the switch brushes are worn out. Only the brushes need to be replaced, reducing waste and costs.

The plastic body becomes more brittle as it gets colder, so improper transverse loading should be avoided. To ensure the longest possible life of the bristles, we recommend that you carefully knock out the bristles on the smallest side surface.
