FS Depot Introduces Line of Carbide Drag Shoes For Most Sweeper Makes and Models

FS Depot, the official parts distribution network for Federal Signal Corporation, has introduced the WearMax line of carbide drag shoes available for Elgin Sweeper machines as well as most other sweeper makes and models. Featuring mining grade tungsten carbide inserts, this new line of sweeper drag shoes is extremely durable and should last longer than most competitive drag shoes.

"Every working sweeper deserves a durable, long-wearing drag shoe, and you won't find a better drag shoe on the market than the new WearMax line from FS Depot," said John Perillo, parts product manager for Elgin Sweeper. "The WearMax drag shoes help contain debris to be picked up and allow important sweeping mechanisms to get close to the road surface without being damaged."

Backed by a three-year wear out warranty, WearMax drag shoes are machine ground to eliminate break-in period marking or streaking on road surfaces. Cost-saving replacement runners and reversible shoes are also available for many models.

"These drag shoes feature premium carbide, so they are built to outlast the standard carbide and steel shoes available. This results in more uptime and significant cost savings on parts and labor," he said.
