Broco'lit, the lie-down side-car for market gardeners

With the crate tray, the Broco'lit takes up to 15 trays of transplants, your harvest and your tools, with a payload of up to 200 kg on top of the driver.

Up to 15 km/h on private land to reach your plots effortlessly. For journeys on public roads, it travels hitched to a category 1 or 2 tractor. The rules for driving on private land and for towing machinery on public roads vary from one country to another: please check the regulations in your country.

Compact and extremely manoeuvrable, the Broco'lit turns on the spot and goes anywhere, under cover or in the open field, thanks to its two-wheel drive and motocross tyres.

Designed and built in Saint-Malo, the Broco'lit is eligible for investment grants for market gardening in France, and local schemes probably exist in other countries too. Find out more on our page Grants and funding.

The Straddler is the all-round machine of the farm: hoeing, mulching, pallets, up to 4 people at work. The Broco'lit is a lighter, faster sidecar, for working lying down, alone or in pairs, and carrying crates at 15 km/h. Our comparison sets out the differences.

Yes. The Broco’lit is light and goes almost anywhere on its large wheels and wide all-terrain tyres. Scrapers keep mud off its chains.

Yes, up to 10%: the Broco’lit is designed to work on slopes of up to 10%, combining slope and side slope.

The Broco'lit's drive is not designed to pull an implement continuously, in every type of soil and on slopes of up to 10 %. So we cannot guarantee it will be powerful enough for hoeing. For hoeing, the Straddler and its hoeing implement are built for the job.

For the same reason, no: its drive is not designed to pull continuously in every type of soil and on slopes of up to 10 %, so we cannot guarantee it will be enough. It does, however, carry up to 15 crates and 200 kg on its deck, on top of the driver.

It fits on a standard car transporter trailer. For road journeys, it can also be hitched to a tractor's category 1 or 2 three-point linkage, compatible with compact tractors. Road rules vary from one country to another: please check the regulations in your country.

Yes. The Broco'lit works in polytunnels as well as in the open field, and its 2 driven wheels let it turn on the spot at the end of the tunnel.

Its removable battery gives 10 hours of work or 35 km (the equivalent of one or two days of intensive work with the Broco'lit), based on feedback from our users. In practice, users say they charge it about every other day.

The Broco'lit comes with a 2-year warranty. An optional extended warranty takes it up to 5 years.
