Factory Cat Pilot V3 28D Micro Rider

The Productivity of a Rider. The Footprint of a Walk-Behind.

The Factory Cat Pilot V3 28D is the latest evolution of our “micro” riding scrubber. Engineered for facilities that need the efficiency of a rider but have space constraints that usually require a walk-behind, the Pilot V3 offers the perfect compromise. At only 48 inches long, it fits on most standard elevators and navigates through 36-inch doorways with ease.

The V3 generation introduces a suite of industrial upgrades, including an advanced touchscreen controller, a standard service cabinet, and a vacuum protection system—all built onto a bulletproof 36-volt platform. The 28D (Disk) model provides the aggressive agitation needed for smooth concrete, tile, and epoxy floors.

Key Features

  • Micro-Rider Maneuverability: With a turning radius that allows it to spin in narrow hallways, the Pilot V3 is actually more maneuverable than many large walk-behind scrubbers.
  • V3 Touchscreen Control: A new, intuitive interface simplifies operator training and provides on-board diagnostics at a glance.
  • Powerful Traction Drive: Features a heavy-duty, all-gear transaxle with an automatic parking brake. It climbs steep ramps and maintains consistent speed even under heavy scrub loads.
  • “Tank-in-Tank” Industrial Build: Constructed with thick, rotationally molded poly tanks and a 1/8″ thick powder-coated steel chassis.
  • Vacuum Protection System: Includes an oversized vacuum screen and a standard muffler box to protect the motor from foam and debris while keeping noise levels as low as 67 dB.
  • Flip-Up Rear Bumper: New for the V3, the rear bumper flips up to allow easy access to the squeegee and recovery tank drain hose.
