If you've ever searched for a power broom, a cleaning machine for artificial grass, or an electric turf brush, you've probably noticed they all share the same problems: motors that fail, batteries that die mid-field, fuel cost, noise, and infill that gets vacuumed up along with the debris. The SportSweeper™ was designed to solve every one of those problems.
Our friction-mat technology uses a precision-engineered sweeping surface that drags flat against your synthetic turf at 5–10 mph. The mat lifts debris (leaves, paper, mulch, gum wrappers, metal fragments with the MagSweeper™ combo) while a sieve preserves your crumb rubber and sand infill. No motor means no moving parts to break, no battery to charge, no fuel to buy, and no operator certification required.
The result: one person, one pass, a clean field in 6 to 15 minutes — and a sweeper for artificial turf that will still be working ten years from now.

Every SportSweeper™ model is engineered for the realities of modern synthetic turf maintenance: infill football and soccer fields, non-infill putting greens and field hockey turf, polyurethane and rubber athletic tracks, indoor sports courts, and synthetic golf surfaces. Whether you're a parks department managing a dozen fields, a university athletic program with a single stadium, or a commercial sports facility, there's a configuration sized for your operation.
Answer a few quick questions and we'll recommend the right SportSweeper™ for your facility.
Everything you need to know about the SportSweeper™.
A friction sweeper is a Foreign Object Eliminator (FOE) for Foreign Object Debris (FOD). These sweepers are pulled by a vehicle to collect debris using friction and kinetic energy — no motor, no mechanical parts. The SportSweeper™ uses high-durability nylon fibres to disturb debris on and just below the surface, with scoops behind each row that capture and trap everything.
Sticks, twigs, leaves, trash, athletic tape, sunflower seeds, popcorn, peanut shells, small metal objects (pins, screws from equipment), dust, dirt, pom-pom streamers, confetti, and more. The capture rate is second to none.
No — the fine sieve capture zones are designed to collect debris while allowing crumb rubber and sand infill to filter back into the turf. The SportSweeper™ also straightens turf fibers upright as it sweeps, improving the playing surface and extending turf life.
Any vehicle with a standard 2" or 1.5" receiver hitch — golf carts, UTVs/Gators, garden tractors, or larger vehicles. Operating speed is 5–10 mph. When paired with an electric vehicle, the SportSweeper™ operates in complete silence.
Virtually none. There are no mechanical or motorized parts to service. The only upkeep is hosing down the sweeper from time to time to keep it clean. It's a maintenance product that is itself maintenance-free.
A Single model sweeps a football field in approximately 15 minutes at 7 mph. The Duplex cuts that time in half. One person can handle the entire process — setup, sweeping, emptying, and storage.
Universities, colleges, school districts, amateur and professional sports programs, municipalities, parks departments — any entity that manages synthetic turf fields and needs to keep surfaces clean and safe for athletes.
