Introducing the NEW, next generation outdoor surface cleaner to join the already well-established range from Westermann. This new battery-powered model has been designed and built with the same trusted German engineering as its petrol-powered counterparts but instead of being powered by the well-known Honda engine, this NEW model is powered by the professional-grade EGO 56V battery system. We are happy to report that as of February 2026, this model now comes with a 3 year commercial and domestic warranty on the body which is an improvement on the 1 year and 2 years previously; this gives you added peace of mind with your new purchase.
The entire range of weed and moss brushes are a great alternative to pressure washing for the removal of moss and light weeds and are used by both the commercial industry and domestic users alike. They are great for use on surfaces such as block paving, concrete and tarmac as well as sports or rubber play surfaces, and as well as all of the benefits as the Honda-engined models, this EGO-powered model is an even more environmentally friendly option with zero-emissions, low-noise levels and less vibrations.
This new addition is a great choice for noise-sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals and busy estates as well eco-conscious environments where petrol fumes would be an un-welcome addition to the day.
Available as the machine only (great for already established customers of the EGO range of tools) or as a choice of bundles with different battery sizes to give a different range of run-times (**PLEASE CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION PRIOR TO CHECKING OUT VIA THE 'OPTIONS' DROP DOWN BOX) As a guide, each Ah will deliver approximately 10 minutes of run-time allowing you to choose the battery option best suited to your workload.
- 7.5Ah bundle = Two 7.Ah batteries and one rapid charger (up to 75 minutes run-time per full charge)
- 10Ah bundle = Two 10Ah batteries and one rapid charger (up to 100 minutes run-time per full charge)
- 12Ah bundle = Two 12Ah batteries and one rapid charger (up to 120 minutes run-time per full charge)
With the Westermann WR870 you can clear moss and debris efficiently usually in one pass - although a second pass may be required to clear stubborn spots, without the need to use harsh and potentially dangerous chemicals. Equipped with a wire brush, the Westermann WR870 will remove thick moss and light weeds from any hard surface thanks to the clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation of the brush which allows you to get into the cracks and crevices where the moss resides. As well as replacing chemical treatments, this is also a great alternative to high-pressure water which can become messy and involves the need for both a power and water supply near to the area of work.
Manufactured in Germany, this belt driven moss brush comes with a jockey wheel located underneath the brush that allows you to adjust the height of the bristles to suit the task at hand. A light brushing action is easy to attain with the brush set on a higher level and a more aggressive brushing action, if required, is achieved with the brush set lower down.
Although is safe to use the brush set to the harshest option without causing damage to block paving, tarmac and concrete, it is always recommended to carry out a test patch first.
KEY MACHINE FEATURES:
- Clockwise and anticlockwise brush rotation.
- Adjustable brush height
- Large 87cm brush diameter.
- Foldable handlebars for easy transportation and storage.
- Galvanised, Zinc chassis

The founder of Westermann, Alfons Westermann, began life as a locksmith. At the age of 23 he went to Osnabrück for further education to become a mechanical engineering technician. He was only 25 years old when he took the step into self-employment – only 2 months later, in November 1989, he presented his motorized radial sweeper at an exhibition in Frankfurt. Here he found his first contacts to customers from the agricultural sector.
First the company was housed in Mr. Westermann's parent’s barn, then it moved into an old dairy of the village Lengerich. In 1995 a factory of 400 m² was built. Seven years later this was enlarged to 600 m². After continuing to grow the company one final move to Meppen, which is where it is located today. After purchasing an adjoining complex in 2014 now the company currently has 7000 m² of manufacturing space and an office complex on a total land area of two hectares. So there is space for further expansion!
