The contract-scale machine: an 18-inch path with 10-gallon solution and 8-gallon recovery tanks per the listing — hotel-corridor and office-floor volume in one pass, the highest-ticket unit in the department. At this scale water handling is the hazard program: transitions signed, cords managed, recovery tanks drained with lift discipline.
What to check before you buy
- Machine to floor area
- Deck width and tank capacity determine productive area per fill. An undersized machine spends its shift being refilled.
- Pad and brush selection
- Pad color and aggressiveness are matched to the finish and the task. The wrong pad either does nothing or removes the finish.
- Wet floor is a slip hazard
- Scrubbing creates a temporary hazard. Signage and traffic control belong in the procedure, not as an afterthought.
- Noise in occupied buildings
- Machine sound levels matter where cleaning happens during occupancy, and can push operators toward hearing protection.

Frequently asked questions
What size auto scrubber do I need?
Match the deck width and tank capacity to the area cleaned per shift. Larger decks cover more ground but lose maneuverability in congested spaces.
What do the floor pad colors mean?
Colors indicate aggressiveness, running from light polishing pads through to aggressive stripping pads. Manufacturers publish their own scale - check theirs.
Is a scrubber better than a mop?
For large hard-floor areas, generally yes - it applies solution, agitates and recovers it, so soil is removed rather than redistributed as it is with a mop and bucket.
Do I need wet floor signs when scrubbing?
Yes. A freshly scrubbed floor is a slip hazard until dry, and same-level falls are among the most common workplace injuries.
How should machines be maintained?
Empty and rinse recovery tanks after use, clean the squeegee and check brushes and pads for wear. Neglected recovery tanks are an odor and hygiene problem.
Where do the specifications on this page come from?
