The FODBUSTER "Tri-Link Assembly" (model number FBR 11-5)

BENEFITS

Easy, one-person operation

...makes it simple to hitch up and run. If you can drive a vehicle towing a trailer, you can sweep with the FODBUSTER.

Perform two jobs for the cost of one

...as you continue sweeping while performing other field duties, such as patrol or delivery. Effective at driving speeds of up to 30 mph / 48 km/h.

Low maintenance cost

...as all motors, hydraulics, vacuum attachments and fuel have been eliminated, along with the man-hours, parts and downtime required to repair them.

Save even more on maintenance

... with our durable, long-life nylon brushes (no metallic bristles to break off).

Unparalleled Reliability

...because when trucks go down - waiting for parts and repair - your FODBUSTER will be on the line making a clean sweep of it.

Side-Mounted Debris Hopper

FEATURES

Fully Adjustable Pintle Hook or Ball Hitch

...allows you to tow the FODBUSTER behind virtually any tow vehicle, including high-clearance vehicles.

Side-Mounted Hoppers

...for unloading FOD safely and easily. Slide out, discard debris, slide back in. No shaking and brooming! Each hopper holds approximately 40-50 lbs / 18-23 kg.

Durable, Easily Adjustable Nylon Brush 

...with a stainless steel vertical rod attached to a hand crank makes adjusting brush height a snap. It also allows a very light bristle-to-ground contact, which is all that's needed with our superior nylon brushes.

Detachable Tow Bar

...assures quick and easy deployment via air or truck if needed. With the tow bar detached and strapped to the unit, you can store sweeper in a vertical position, dramatically reducing space requirements.

Magnetic Sweeper Option

...creates even greater effectiveness in picking up large and small ferrous debris by attaching one of our POWER BAR Magnetic Sweepers (part number M-103).

 
Tow hitch and brush height are fully adjustable .

THINKING LONG TERM...

• Will your existing or proposed sweeping equipment provide your organization with a decade or more of service?
  

• Does your budget permit purchasing a slow-moving, dedicated vacuum truck, at today's prices?

• Will the indoor-outdoor carpet and plastic scoops of a friction mat take you to the future in a cost-effective manner?

• What is the total cost of equipment, operations and maintenance, over a decade, for each method under consideration? 

• Do you need to pick up larger objects like paving chunks, aircraft maintenance debris, or ramp-service litter?

• Will your new or existing equipment capture a high percentage of debris at an operating speed that covers the airfield quickly?

• Where is it made? 

• How far away and reliable is product support?

• Is equipment that is substantial, built to last, and highly effective at removing foreign objects from the airfield the order of the day?
