New Tennant 3640 E Battery Powered Walk-Behind Sweeper

Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)

“If your crew is still pushing brooms across a shop floor, loading dock or warehouse aisle, the 3640 E is the step up we usually suggest before a ride-on sweeper. It is a self-propelled, battery-powered walk-behind, so there are no fumes and no cord, and it works indoors or out. A 24 in main broom and a 16.5 in right-hand side brush sweep a 32 in path, throwing debris straight into a free-floating hopper that holds 3 cu ft of litter or 1.5 cu ft of sand. Tennant rates it at up to 25,000 sq ft per hour. The panel filter has a timed shaker, and the high airflow system helps hold dust down. Propel speed is fully variable forward and reverse, up to 2.9 mph, and the handle adjusts to the operator's height. Brushes are self-adjusting and change without tools. It comes with two 130 Ah wet batteries and an 11 A off-board charger, good for 2 to 3 hours per Tennant.”

Questions

Tennant 3640: common questions

Is the 3640 self-propelled?

Yes. Propel speed is fully variable forward and reverse, up to 2.9 mph forward and 1.3 mph reverse, so the operator guides it instead of pushing.

How long does it run on a charge?

Tennant rates the standard 130 Ah pack at 2 to 3 hours and the extended run time pack at 2.5 to 4.5 hours. Options and the application affect run time.

Can it sweep outdoors?

Yes. Tennant designs the 3640 for indoor and outdoor sweeping. For rough outdoor surfaces, the wide-track pneumatic tire and caster kit is an option.

How much does the hopper hold?

The hopper holds 3 cu ft of litter or 1.5 cu ft of sand, up to 130 lb.

Will it fit through my doorways?

The 3640 is 32.25 in wide, 56.25 to 58 in long and 34.7 to 37.7 in high, depending on handle position. Measure your narrowest doorway before you order.
