Back in 2018, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club took delivery of two Ventrac Power Brooms: one for maintaining the pathways and car parking areas at the Club’s impressive 77-acre training facility and the other to help maintain the artificial turf on their synthetic pitches.
Commenting on the new equipment, a spokesman on the grounds management team commented,
“These brooms are excellent, they are available with different levels of flexibility in the bristles, so we use the less aggressive head with more pliable bristles on our synthetic surfaces. Not only does it sweep up accumulated debris, it also helps us relieve the compaction of the rubber crumb infill and is an integral part of our synthetic turf maintenance programme.
“Like our mower attachments and trencher, these brooms are quick and easy to change and when not in use they are free-standing, which also helps with the yard management of our equipment. Once you have a Ventrac tractor unit, you just keep on finding more things that it can do; it’s certainly a versatile piece of equipment.”
The Power Broom can be hydraulically angled left or right and lifted up or down all from the seat of the tractor. An electric actuator also allows the operator to adjust the speed and direction of the broom rotation, maximizing its effectiveness. A self-levelling feature keeps the broom horizontal at all times, and the nylon bristle broom cores can be changed in just a few minutes.
