Industrial facilities constantly battle against dust, debris, and dirt. Forklift traffic tracks in grime, pallets splinter across the floor, and production lines generate dust that never seems to stop. The result? Unsafe conditions, equipment wear, and wasted labor hours trying to sweep manually.

The good news: the right industrial floor sweeper can solve these problems in a fraction of the time. And in 2025, no sweeper does it better than the Factory Cat 34.

Why Every Industrial Facility Needs a Floor Sweeper.

Clean floors aren’t just about appearances. In warehouses and manufacturing plants, debris can:

• Create slip hazards for employees.
• Damage forklifts, pallet jacks, and production equipment.
• Reduce air quality, leading to dust buildup on shelves and stock.
• Waste labor hours with manual sweeping that never keeps up.

OSHA even has dust safety standards to reduce risk in industrial environments. For most facilities, an industrial floor sweeper isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Types of Floor Sweepers for Industrial Spaces.

Not all sweepers are built alike. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Manual Push Sweepers:

Great for small shops or light debris. But when you’re covering 50,000+ square feet, they simply can’t keep up.

Small Walk-Behind Sweepers:

Better suited for retail or light commercial settings. Affordable, but often lack the hopper capacity and durability needed for industrial jobs.

Ride-On Sweepers:

Powerful machines for larger distribution centers, warehouses, and larger manufacturing facilities. But for many industrial facilities, ride-ons can be overkill with big price tags and bigger storage needs.

So what’s the perfect balance? A heavy-duty walk-behind sweeper with industrial power and compact maneuverability.

Enter the Factory Cat 34.

Meet the Factory Cat 34 — Built for Heavy-Duty Industrial Cleaning.

The Factory Cat 34 sweeper is designed for facilities that need serious cleaning power. Here’s why it’s the go-to choice:

Durable Steel Construction

Unlike plastic-bodied sweepers that crack under pressure, the Factory Cat 34 is built with a rugged steel frame. It’s designed to take abuse in manufacturing plants and warehouses.

Massive Hopper & Efficient Dust Control

The oversized debris hopper makes short work of everything from dust to pallet chips. With advanced filtration, it keeps the air cleaner and eliminates clouds of dust that manual sweeping can stir up.

Low Maintenance & Long Life

Factory Cat is known for reliability. Fewer moving parts, simple design, and readily available service mean your investment pays off for years.

How the Factory Cat 34 Outperforms the Competition.

Other sweepers like IPC Eagle, Nilfisk, and Clarke make quality machines — but when it comes to industrial durability, the Factory Cat 34 has the edge.

• Steel vs. Plastic: Many competitors use lighter materials. The Factory Cat 34 is built like a tank.
• Cost of Ownership: Simple design = fewer breakdowns = lower lifetime cost.
• Service & Parts: Easy access to parts and a dealer network that supports you (like Wisconsin Scrub & Sweep).

Who the Factory Cat 34 Is Perfect For.

The Factory Cat 34 is ideal for:

• Manufacturing plants with dust, shavings, and debris.
• Warehouses & distribution centers that deal with constant forklift traffic.
• Food processing facilities (dry side) that need clean, dust-free environments.
• Automotive shops & heavy-duty workshops where metal shavings and grit collect.

If your facility deals with constant debris, this is the sweeper built for your reality.

Maintenance Tips to Get the Most From Your Industrial Sweeper.

Like any machine, a little care goes a long way. To maximize your sweeper’s lifespan:

• Empty the hopper at the end of each shift.
• Check filters and clean them regularly.
• Inspect belts and brushes for wear.
• Keep batteries charged and cables tight.
