    I am market testing now , a new type reefer broom ,it's much faster than standard brooms an very easy to push without lifting,it can sweep with one hand almost, an hardly any downward pressure,would be great for somebody with hand or back issues possibly.we timed it sweeping a medium dirty floor on 50 foot utility, it swept it clean in 2 min. Minus picking up the dirt at end ,an stuck pallet wood.were looking at marketing to the trucking companies to purchase. Dose anyone out there think there would be a market for this,thank you.

    A leaf blower works much better and requires less effort.

    I loled at the 'picking up the dirt and pallet pieces' part.... I'm no door swinger, but isn't that what parking lots are for?

    Try that leaf blower trick in a customers parking lot.. say Whitewave foods in Jacksonville, Fla. See how long you get to stay on the property. A leafblower is a handy tool but there are times that a broom is still the correct tool for the job.

    Leaf blowers blow dust an dirt everywhere and all over yourself, plus bacteria an who knows what else, I'd rather stay clean an keep my sheen,if you know what I mean.

    If you use a leaf blower I'd say ok but you should at least clean up what's blown out side the trailer.

    blow it to the front of the trailer then pick it up no big deal unless your a germ/dirt phobia stands in the way
