The 17-inch Giant Dust Pan is the workshop and barn-size sweep collector — the right pair for a full-size barn broom or push broom where the 12-inch dust pan would force multiple emptying trips. Built from the same heavy-duty aluminum alloy as the smaller version, with the same sturdy riveted handle construction.
For garage floors after wood-shop work, barn cleanups after stable mucking, workshop pegboards after a building project, and any environment where the sweep load is more than a kitchen-pan worth, this is the right tool. The wider mouth captures a full broom’s worth of debris on the first pass, and the deeper body holds it without overflowing during the walk to the trash bin.
Aluminum alloy resists rust through humid environments, dings rather than dents under hard use, and won’t deform from being stepped on or leaned against — the typical failure modes of plastic dust pans in active workshops. The 17-inch width is also the right size for sawdust, wood chips, hay debris, and other workshop materials where a narrower pan creates more trips to the trash than necessary.
