A 280mm hooded metal dustpan built for proper site use. The wide pan and fixed handle make light work of sweeping up dust, debris and general mess. Far more durable than plastic alternatives that crack when you look at them funny.
A metal heavy duty dustpan is one of those things you don’t think about until the plastic one snaps in half on a cold morning. This 280mm dustpan is made from steel with a hooded top edge that keeps dust and debris contained while you carry it to the bin. No awkward spillage, no dust trail across the floor you’ve just swept.
At 280mm wide it’s a practical size for general site sweeping, workshop clean-ups, and everyday use in garages, stores, or utility areas. Wide enough to pick up a decent amount in one go, but not so large that it becomes unwieldy. The fixed handle keeps it upright and easy to use without bending down to the floor, which is a small thing that matters more over the course of a full working day.
Why Choose a Metal Heavy Duty Dustpan Over Plastic
Plastic dustpans are fine for the kitchen. On a building site, in a busy workshop, or anywhere grit, sharp debris and steel fixings end up on the floor, they crack, warp, and generally fail faster than you’d like. A metal dustpan holds its shape and can take a knock without falling apart. The hooded design is also worth mentioning because it does actually work. It traps lighter dust that would otherwise drift back out when you move the pan.
The 280mm width sits in a useful middle ground. It’s big enough to be efficient and small enough to get into corners and tight spaces without too much difficulty. Pair it with a stiff-bristle broom and it handles most of what a working site or busy trade environment throws at it.
Supplied with the handle attached, so it’s ready to use straight away. No assembly, no separate parts to lose. Just a simple, dependable bit of kit that will still be doing its job long after every plastic dustpan in the van has been binned.
Pro Tip: Run the leading edge lightly against the floor rather than lifting it at an angle when sweeping in, as this stops fine dust from riding up over the lip and back onto the clean floor.
This dustpan is used daily on construction sites, in workshops, garages, stores, and warehouses where sweeping up is a regular part of the job. It handles wood shavings, concrete dust, plaster debris, metal filings, general dirt and grit without issue. Roofers, joiners, groundworkers and general labourers all find a use for it at the end of a shift. It works equally well in commercial kitchens, schools, or any trade environment where a plastic pan simply would not last.

Sweep debris towards the dustpan using a broom or hand brush. Hold the pan flat on the floor and push it gently against the pile so the leading edge meets the debris cleanly. Keep the pan level as you lift it to avoid spillage, then carry it directly to a bin or waste bag for disposal.

Is the handle fixed or detachable?
The handle is fixed and comes already attached. There is nothing to assemble and no fittings to lose on site.
What is the pan width and will it fit standard broom widths?
The pan is 280mm (11 inches) wide, which works well with most standard hand brushes and medium-width brooms commonly used on site and in workshops.
Will this rust if left in a damp environment?
Like any steel product it can surface rust if stored wet over time. Keeping it dry between uses will extend its life considerably. It is not designed for outdoor or waterlogged storage.
Constructed from steel with a pressed hooded profile to the rear edge, which helps contain lighter dust and prevents spillage when carrying. The pan measures 280mm across the opening. Metal construction gives it significantly better impact and wear resistance compared to polypropylene alternatives used in lighter-duty applications.
