After months of freezing temperatures, snowplows, and road salt, spring is in our sights! That said, our sidewalks are often left in rough shape come spring. Cracked concrete, raised edges, and winter debris aren’t just unsightly—they can be safety hazards. For municipalities, contractors, and facility managers, spring sidewalk maintenance is essential to ensure pedestrian safety and restore public spaces to a clean, walkable condition.
Fortunately, the Trackless MT paired with the right attachments can help you tackle these challenges head-on. Here’s how three key tools—the Cold Planer, Pickup Sweeper, and Power Angle Sweeper—can help streamline your spring maintenance program.
Cold Planer: Tackle Sidewalks with Precision
Spring has a way of showing us what winter left behind—raised sidewalk edges from frost heave, uneven transitions between slabs, and all the little surface issues that become big problems fast. That’s where the Trackless Cold Planer comes in.

This attachment is made for jobs like this. It grinds down raised concrete and smooths out those tricky transitions, helping reduce trip hazards and improve walkability. And because it’s compact and easy to control, you can make precise repairs—even in tight urban spaces—without tearing up the whole sidewalk.
It’s a smart, low-disruption way to fix the damage before it gets worse (or more expensive). Mount it to your Trackless MT7, and you’re ready to roll.
Best for:
-
Grinding down raised or heaved sidewalk sections
-
Targeted repairs in busy or crowded areas
-
Making sidewalks safer without full slab replacements
Pickup Sweeper: Sweep Up Winter’s Mess
Once the snow melts, it doesn’t just leave behind puddles—it leaves a mess. Gravel, salt, sand, and litter start to show up everywhere, from sidewalks and bike lanes to schoolyards and city streets. If left alone, all that debris can clog storm drains, damage pavement, and even create slip hazards.

The Trackless Pickup Sweeper is built to handle spring cleanup with ease. It doesn’t just push debris around—it collects it. With a powerful sweeping system and built-in containment, it keeps sidewalks and roadways clean. Plus, pair this attachment with a spray bar kit to reduce dust. That makes it a great fit for downtown areas, school campuses, and anywhere else you need clean pavement without creating a cloud of dust.
Best for:
-
Spring cleanup after snow and ice season
-
Bike lanes, school grounds, and downtown sidewalks
-
Reducing dust and improving air quality during sweeping
Power Angle Sweeper: Fast, Flexible, and Effective Spring Cleanup
For lighter sweeping or when agility matters, the Trackless Power Angle Sweeper is a reliable, year-round solution. It’s perfect for clearing spring dust, sand from winter, or fallen leaves—especially in tight or winding spaces like trails, plazas, and park paths.
One of the most versatile and cost-effective attachments we offer, the Power Angle Sweeper handles everything from sweeping sidewalks and intersections to dethatching playing fields in summer or clearing light snow in winter. Its replaceable poly and wire bristles are safe for delicate surfaces like cobblestone or tactile sidewalks, and the high-output hydraulics of the MT7 power the broom directly for consistent performance.

The self-centring scissor frame keeps the sweeping pattern aligned as you angle, and quick couplers and storage stands make setup easy. Available in widths from 36 to 96 inches, it’s built to fit any job—and for dust-sensitive areas, we recommend pairing it with our Water Tank and spray bar kit.
Best for:
-
General-purpose sweeping
-
Narrow or curving areas like trails and bike lanes
-
Light debris like sand, grit, or leaves
-
Safe use on decorative or tactile surfaces
