Cat® C70RX Ride-On Sweeper with AC Cabin Features
Engineered for facilities requiring maximum-throughput floor sweeping in any ambient temperature, the Cat® C70RX is a ride-on floor sweeper with a 70-inch cleaning path covering approximately 204,500 square feet per hour — roughly 4.7 acres every hour. Four side brushes and a center roller brush span the full 70-inch path, while an air-conditioned enclosed cabin keeps the operator comfortable regardless of floor-level heat in warehouses, manufacturing plants, or unconditioned distribution facilities on extended cleaning shifts.
HEPA filtration rated to 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 microns captures fine respirable particulate that standard sweeper filters pass through, and shake-vibration technology automatically cleans the HEPA media during operation to maintain consistent suction. A rearview backup camera and turn signals address the elevated pedestrian-safety demands of operating a 70-inch-wide machine in shared-occupancy facilities. Eight 6-volt / 305 Ah batteries provide extended runtime for large-facility assignments, and the 42.2-gallon hopper reduces emptying interruptions across the full sweep cycle.

Applications
To sweep very large hard floor areas where operator comfort and maximum throughput are both requirements, the Cat® C70RX is deployed in large-scale distribution centers and fulfillment warehouses, airports and transit terminal concourses, manufacturing plants with high process-heat ambient temperatures, outdoor-adjacent loading and staging areas, stadium and arena concourses needing rapid between-event turnarounds, and any facility where thermal fatigue over a multi-hour sweep cycle is a performance and safety concern.

Frequently Asked Questions
What environments is the Cat® C70RX AC cabin designed for?
The AC cabin on the Cat® C70RX is engineered for facilities where operators work extended shifts in environments with elevated ambient temperatures — hot warehouse and manufacturing floors in summer, unconditioned distribution centers, outdoor-adjacent loading areas, and any facility where heat stress is a concern for operators running equipment for multiple hours per shift. The air-conditioned enclosure maintains a comfortable cabin temperature regardless of floor-level heat, allowing the operator to focus on cleaning performance without the fatigue and health risk associated with prolonged heat exposure during extended cleaning sessions.
How does the Cat® C70RX's HEPA filtration differ from standard sweeper filters?
Standard sweeper filters let fine respirable particles pass into exhaust airflow. HEPA filtration on the Cat® C70RX captures particles as small as 0.3 microns at 99.97% efficiency — the standard used in hospital and cleanroom air handling. For facilities sweeping fine silica dust, pharmaceutical residue, or metal particulate, HEPA capture prevents those particles from re-entering the breathing zone. Shake-vibration technology cleans the HEPA media automatically during operation to maintain suction without mid-shift service.
What does the rearview backup camera and turn signals add to facility safety?
At 70 inches wide in facilities shared with pedestrians, the C70RX poses real blind-spot risk when reversing. A rearview backup camera gives the operator a real-time view behind the machine during reverse maneuvers. Turn signals communicate directional intent to nearby workers — the same safety protocol used by vehicles on public roads. Both systems are especially important in airports, hospitals, and manufacturing environments with high pedestrian traffic density.
What is the coverage rate of the Cat® C70RX and what area does that represent?
Approximately 204,500 square feet per hour — roughly 4.7 acres — is the C70RX cleaning rate. A 500,000-square-foot distribution center sweeps in approximately 2.5 hours. For facilities where the C49R's 78,740 sq ft/hr rate would require multiple machines or multiple shifts, the C70RX consolidates the job into fewer machine-hours with a single operator.
Cat® 70" Sweeper Family
The Cat® C70RX and C70R share identical cleaning performance — 70-inch path, ~204,500 sq ft/hr, HEPA filtration, four side brushes, center roller, and the same 8-battery system. Operator enclosure and air conditioning are the sole differentiators. Where ambient temperature is controlled or shifts are short, the Cat® C70R at $44,999 provides the same output.
