Factory Cat TR Rider Sweeper

The Factory Cat TR Rider Sweeper is a compact industrial ride-on floor sweeper designed for high-production sweeping in warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, sawmills, machine shops, aggregate facilities, and other dust-heavy environments. Built with dual side brooms, a large tubular main broom, direct-throw sweeping, a steel debris hopper, and a high-volume vacuum filtration system, the TR gives operators a productive way to collect dust, dirt, sand, sawdust, metal shavings, broken glass, nails, and other debris without pushing dust back into the work area.

This machine is a strong choice for facility maintenance teams, industrial plants, rental fleets, warehouses, manufacturing operations, building service contractors, municipalities, and property managers that need a durable battery-powered rider sweeper for indoor and outdoor sweeping applications.

Compact Industrial Ride-On Sweeping

The Factory Cat TR is designed to deliver rider sweeper productivity in a compact footprint. It gives operators a wide sweeping path, good maneuverability, and simple controls while remaining small enough for many industrial aisles, warehouse spaces, and production areas.

For facilities that still rely on manual sweeping or smaller walk-behind equipment, the TR can dramatically reduce labor time and improve sweeping consistency across large floor areas.

Built for Dust, Dirt, and Heavy Debris

The TR is built to handle the real debris found in industrial facilities. Its side brooms pull debris away from walls, corners, and rack lines, while the main tubular broom sweeps dirt and material into the hopper.

Factory Cat and dealer materials describe the TR as capable of picking up items such as nails, broken glass, metal shavings, wood debris, dirt, sawdust, gravel, and even spilled cement dust when properly configured and operated.

Direct-Throw Sweeping System

The TR uses a direct-throw sweeping method, allowing the main broom to throw debris into the hopper efficiently. This system is practical for large-volume debris collection and is well-suited for industrial sweeping applications where the machine may encounter both fine dust and larger material.

The hopper is designed to pack debris efficiently, helping crews sweep larger areas before needing to empty collected material.

High-Volume Dust Control

One of the biggest advantages of the Factory Cat TR is its dust control system. The machine uses a high-volume, low-pressure suction system and a large baghouse-style filter to help capture fine airborne dust while sweeping.

The TR's filtration system helps reduce dust clouds, improve air quality in the work area, and keep floors cleaner during sweeping. This is especially valuable in sawmills, powder packaging areas, aggregate facilities, warehouses, and manufacturing plants where dust can build up quickly.

Large Baghouse Filter

The TR uses a large polypropylene felt baghouse-style filter with a 1-micron rating. This filter helps trap fine dust that would otherwise become airborne during sweeping.

A large filter area helps maintain airflow and collection performance while reducing the amount of dust released back into the facility. Regular filter maintenance is important for best sweeping and dust-control performance.

Wide Sweeping Path

The Factory Cat TR provides a wide cleaning path for high productivity. Depending on the configuration and source listing, the TR is commonly shown with a sweeping path in the 46-inch to 48-inch range.

This allows operators to sweep more floor area per pass, improving efficiency in warehouses, production plants, loading areas, distribution centers, and large industrial spaces.

Battery-Powered Operation

The TR is a battery-powered industrial sweeper, making it a practical choice for indoor facilities where fuel, fumes, and engine maintenance are concerns. Battery operation helps simplify daily use and eliminates the need for gasoline, propane tanks, oil changes, and engine tune-ups.

Operators can typically charge the machine after a shift, making it well-suited for daily facility cleaning routines.

Long Runtime for Large Facilities

Factory Cat and dealer materials commonly list runtime in the 3-7 hour range depending on battery configuration, floor conditions, sweeping load, and operator use. Some sources list up to 5 hours for standard configurations, while others reference extended runtime with upgraded battery packages.

This gives the TR enough runtime for many warehouse, plant, and facility sweeping tasks on a single charge.

Easy Operation and Maintenance

The Factory Cat TR is designed to be easy to operate and maintain. Battery-powered operation means there is no oil to change, no fuel to spill, no propane tanks to exchange, and no engine valves to service.

Simple controls, onboard charging options, rugged construction, and straightforward maintenance make the TR a practical machine for facilities where multiple operators may use the sweeper.

Durable Steel Construction

The TR is built for industrial environments with a powder-coated steel chassis and rugged sweeper body construction. Industrial sweepers are often used around forklifts, racks, machines, pallets, gravel, dust, and debris, so durable construction is important for long service life.

The TR's build quality makes it a strong fit for warehouses, sawmills, manufacturing plants, foundries, powder packaging areas, and other rough environments.

Dual Side Brooms

Dual side brooms help extend the sweeping path and pull debris away from walls, corners, rack legs, curbs, and equipment bases. This helps reduce follow-up sweeping and improves productivity in areas where debris collects along edges.

Side brooms are especially useful in warehouses, aisles, production areas, and loading zones.
