New Tennant T290 Self-Propel Walk-Behind Scrubber - No Battery
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The T290 is a compact 20 in walk-behind scrubber for small, congested spaces like convenience stores, retail aisles, school corridors, restrooms and break rooms. This one is the self-propel version, so the drive moves the machine and the operator just steers, which helps on longer runs. It ships without batteries, which is useful if you already have batteries or want to choose your own. It runs on a 24 V system of two 12 V batteries, and Tennant rates the self-propel model at up to 2.6 hours on its 150 Ah wet battery. The 10.5 gal solution tank and 13 gal recovery tank are good-sized for a machine this small. The brush spins on and off hands-free, so nobody kneels to change it, the tank tilts back to reach internal parts, and yellow touch points mark the daily checks. A V-shaped squeegee with Linatex blades handles water pickup, and the control panel shows when the solution tank is getting low.”
