Why the SCM 200 Is the Most Practical Sweeper for Skid Steer Crews

In the fast-paced world of construction and site maintenance, every minute counts and every breakdown costs. That’s why the Smith Challenger SCM 200 Skid Steer Mount Sweeper is quickly becoming the go-to solution for contractors who demand performance, durability, and simplicity in one powerhouse attachment.

Built for the Demand of the Job Site
The SCM 200 isn’t just another sweeper, it’s a workhorse designed from the ground up with input from real-world operators. Unlike many competitors that cut corners on build quality, the SCM 200 stands out for its rugged design, quick-change broom system, and field-proven reliability.

Say Goodbye to Wafers — and Wasted Time
Most skid steer sweepers still rely on wafer-style broom systems, a maintenance nightmare. Changing a wafer broom typically requires a mechanic, a lift, and more than 50 individual pieces to be replaced. That means hours of downtime and added labor costs.
The SCM 200 solves this problem with its manual Quick Change tube-style broom system, which allows a single operator to swap the entire brush in approximately 15 minutes, no mechanic required.

Get More Life Out of Every Broom
One of the most practical and cost-effective advantages of the SCM 200 is its cross-compatibility with the SCM 100. If you’re running both models, which many sites do, you can reuse brushes between them.
“Let’s say a broom on the SCM 100 wears down a few inches. It might not be ideal for that machine anymore, but it’s perfectly usable in the SCM 200,” Kyle notes. “This allows you get more life out of every broom.”
In a time when supply chain delays and material costs continue to rise, that kind of flexibility matters.

Designed for Skid Steer Simplicity
The SCM 200 mounts directly to most standard skid steers and uses the machine’s hydraulics and arm float to maintain optimal ground pressure. It’s easy to attach, easier to operate, and can be used for sweeping everything from construction sites, asphalt yards, parking lots and industrial zones.

Built for Crews Who Can’t Afford to Slow Down
Whether you’re a contractor managing multiple crews or a fleet manager looking to reduce downtime and maintenance calls, the SCM 200 offers a smarter way to sweep. It’s designed to work hard, swap quick, and last long.
“Most of the sweepers we see break down constantly. With ours, the build is just better. You put it on a skid steer, and it works. Simple as that.”
