Semi Trailer Accessory

 How much money do you spend per year cleaning out your trailer?  Instead of spending hundreds of dollars for trailer cleanouts throughout the year, would you like to spend $24.95 once?  It may seem simple, but by simply buying a broom specially formulated to clean out your trailer, you can save hundreds each year.  Of course, this means that you have to do it yourself, but with the money you’ll save, you’ll be glad to take the hour to clean out your trailer with little effort using the Reefer Sweeper trailer broom.  

 The Reefer Sweeper trailer broom is no ordinary semi trailer accessory.  Instead, it is specially designed by those who know what it’s like to clean out trailers and how to do it most efficiently.  In fact, the brooms are designed just for the floors of common used refrigerator trailers, and are created for storage and easy use.  That’s right, the broom handles are 70 inches long, making it easy for you to clean out your trailer without bending or stooping.  No matter how short or tall you are, the Reefer Sweeper trailer broom can be adjusted to meet just your height. But the handles collapse to only 41 inches tall for storage, meaning you don’t have to try to negotiate a space for your broom and your cargo in your trailer—both fit easily.  In fact, the handles and brooms are designed to fit in the jockey box when not in use. 

 Rugged and durable, both brooms and handles are ready for a life of hard work and hard toting.  Indeed, the handles are so durable and so efficient, helping truckers do their work in a fraction of the time because of the ease with which they fold and adjust to truckers’ heights.  And because the handles work with all other standard tool heads, they are an investment in themselves. 

 But it is the brooms that really do the trick.  Imagine spending an hour or less using the simple Reefer Sweeper trailer broom to clean out your truck rather than taking it to a professional.  Not only will you save your precious, hard-earned cash, but you will also save time.  And time is money.  Taking the trailer to a professional and waiting while that professional performs the cleaning job takes time, more time than it would take you to do a simple sweep.  And that’s what Reefer sweeper trailer brooms does—it lets you take a simple sweep of your trailer and get back on the road—dirt free!

 Truckers can buy both brooms and handles, which are sold separately, at Diesel Boss.com.
