I've thought about building or modifying a push broom to get down into the channels without binding up. If it can be stowed easily and does a decent job you may have something that most reefer drivers need from time to time. I won't use or carry a leaf blower (don't have the room to stow inside) And my company understands that the dirt/dust down in the channels doesn't come out with conventional brooms and pays for washouts when needed.

Do you have a self propelled one? If I could last two minutes maybe my first wife would not have left me!
americanmadetrucker Thanks this. -
They already sell a broom that is designed to fit into the channels of a reefer trl !!!!! Also using a leaf blower is so much easier and you don't have to vlow everything on to the ground !!! The guy that blows everything on to the ground is the same guy who would sweep everything onto the ground
Dominick253, Mr.X, TGUNKEL and 2 others Thank this. -
CORDLESS Leaf Blower is also handy in the Winter to get rid of snow in hard to reach places and as others have noted a REFFER BROOM is already on the market and this 1 is even patented
darthanubis, MachoCyclone, Saturday and 3 others Thank this. -

The broom I'm talking about has a patent , the difference is the bristles selfajust ,there's hardly any drag when pushing, can push almost with one hand operation,you don't have to retract it much , it has a brace for handle so won't break handles like the other,also has led light mounted ,for night cleaning .
