The Ultimate Barn Cleaning Solution - Choosing the Right Push Sweeper for Your Horse Stable

Running a clean horse stable isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about health, safety, and efficiency. Dust, hay, shavings, feed, and manure can quickly build up in aisleways, tack rooms, and storage areas. Left unchecked, that debris can contribute to respiratory problems for horses and humans, attract pests, and create slip hazards.

Tomahawk’s line of Industrial Push Sweepers offers a powerful solution to streamline stable cleaning, reduce airborne dust, and make barn maintenance faster and easier. Whether you're managing a small private barn or a large boarding facility, there's a sweeper for your needs.

Why Push Sweepers Are a Game-Changer for Barns

Traditional brooms and leaf blowers have long been the go-to, but they come with limitations:

  • Brooms stir up dust and require repetitive labor.

  • Blowers spread debris rather than collecting it—and fill the air with harmful particulates.

Tomahawk Push Sweepers collect debris, suppress dust, and speed up cleanup. Let’s take a closer look at the lineup.

This is Tomahawk’s most advanced model and an ideal solution for equestrian facilities with heavy traffic. Designed with productivity and air quality in mind, the eTOS30 helps you cover large areas in less time with less fatigue.

Key Features:

  • Triple Power Brooms: Two side brushes pull debris inward while a center roller brush collects everything in one pass.

  • Electric Drive Motor: Reduces pushing effort, especially helpful when loaded with heavy debris.

  • Dust Suppression System: Built-in water misting system keeps dust down—critical for horses with respiratory sensitivities.

  • 30” Sweeping Path: Wide enough for barn aisles but compact for maneuverability around corners and doorways.
