A popular tool to creates non-skid surfaces on highways, bridges, airport runways, ramps, driveways, and cattle pens. The Flat Wire Texture Broom produces a uniform rough groove surface on roads and bridges for maximum traction to prevent planing and to keep water flowing off the road. In addition to traction and drainage surface tining helps diminish the noise pollution created with traffic. The snap-out, snap-in replaceable tines are blue spring steel. The .28in thick tine is stiff enough to create groove, but provides a slight ingivein for durability. The standard exposed length, extending from comb head, is 5in in length by 1/8in in width. Tine spacing of 3/4in between the center of a tine to the center of the next tine. Check with your local Department of Transportation (DOT) for spacing requirements on specific jobs. The 36in long broom has an attached clevis bracket. Use with a clevis handle or an adapter for use with bull float handles; all handles sold separately.
