Lobby Dustpans
Dustpans are available in handheld versions, which are lightweight and easy to transport or store but require users to stoop to collect debris. A more ergonomic choice, the long-handle dustpan (also called a lobby dustpan) has a long handle that lets users sweep while remaining upright, making them the best option for frequent use. More
Lobby Brooms and Dustpans: What You Need to Know
Dustpans are one of the simplest ways to keep the floors of your establishment clean. Dry debris can be swept easily into a standing dustpan and then put in a trashcan in just a few moments. While everything else in foodservice has become high-tech, long-handled dustpan and broom sets are still the first choice for all different types of establishment.
Common Questions About Dustpans
What is a lobby dust pan?
Lobby dust pan refers to a long-handled dustpan typically used to sweep debris in a large common area, such as a theater lobby. These stand-up dustpans are preferred for large areas because they keep the operator from bending or kneeling down to the floor repeatedly, which could be difficult when trying to clean a big space. Long-handled dustpans and broom sets will have matching heights, making it easy to grip and maneuver the two tools in unison.
Do I need a hand or standing dustpan?
Standing or stand-up dustpans are perfect for repeated, high-volume use. Handheld dustpans are perfect for cleaning up dry spills in a small kitchen, but if you need to cover a large area, standing dustpans are the way to go. Handheld dustpans require the user to bend down to the floor for every use, and if you're doing that over and over again to clean a large space, it can eventually strain the user's back.
