• Remote sites: Perfect when reliability matters more than regular maintenance.

What We See in the Field

We service Duplex 340 and 420 floor scrubbers in queendsland every six or twelve months for compliance. Many units run smoothly for years without a single issue and some are still operating perfectly after more than 25 years. ( with correct maintenance)

Tennant Walk-Behind and Ride-On Floor Scrubbers

Tennant walk-behind and ride-on floor scrubbers are the Rolls-Royce of the range. They feature heavy steel frames and smart engineering that deliver a long service life. With proper care, their premium price is well justified.

Models We Rate

Legacy models like the Tennant T2, T7, andT12 are built to work. We still see 20-year-old units cleaning effectively with regular six or twelve-month servicing.

Buyer Note

Tennant scrubbers are best for high-use sites that demand uptime and reliability. Their upfront cost is higher, but it pays off over the life of the machine.

Hako B40 Floor Scrubbers

We don’t sell Hako floor scrubbers or have any affiliation, but the Hako B40 deserves a mention. It’s a proven workhorse and one of the more reliable units on the market.

What Typically Wears

Consumables wear as expected, and vacuum motors can tire under heavy use. However, with regular care, Hako B40 floor scrubbers remain solid and simple to maintain.

Buyer Note

If you already own a Hako B40, stick to basic maintenance. With consistent care, these machines can stay out of the workshop for long periods.

Nilfisk Commercial Floor Scrubbers

Nilfisk commercial floor scrubbers balance performance, parts availability, and value. They’re backed by strong parts support and a broad product range.

Where They Fit Best

Nilfisk units suit hospitals, aged care facilities, schools, and general commercial sites. They offer dependable performance without the premium price tag. While they use more plastic than Tennant, they remain tough and trustworthy.

Buyer Note

Choose Nilfisk if you want reliable results and easy access to parts without paying for an industrial-grade build.

The Other End of the List: Kärcher Floor Scrubbers

Kärcher floor scrubbers often top our service list. Their pressure washers are outstanding, but the scrubbers can be less reliable.

What We See

We commonly find electrical faults, control board issues, and excessive use of plastic parts. The low purchase price can be tempting, but ongoing maintenance costs often add up.

Buyer Note

If you own a Kärcher floor scrubber, stay on top of your maintenance schedule. Keep spare parts handy and plan preventive checks to reduce downtime. We’re always here to help if needed.

How to Choose the Right Floor Scrubber

Selecting the right floor scrubber depends on your site and usage. Here’s what to consider:

• Match the floor: Duplex 340 and 420 suit textured or non-slip floors. Tennant’s walk-behind and ride-on range covers most surface types.
• Match the duty cycle: Heavy daily use suits robust builds like Duplex and Tennant. Light or medium use fits mid-range options like Nilfisk.
• Think long-term: Look at consumables, spare parts, downtime, and service support — not just the purchase price.
• Plan maintenance: Six or twelve-month services will keep Duplex, Tennant, and Nilfisk floor scrubbers performing at their best.
