New Tennant T500 32" Disk Walk-Behind Scrubber - 225AH Battery
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The 32 in T500 is built for open floors where coverage matters more than squeezing between fixtures: big-box retail, warehouse offices, gyms, cafeterias and wide corridors. Two 16 in pads or brushes clean a 32 in path, and Tennant rates it at up to 35,200 sq ft per hour theoretical and about 25,714 sq ft per hour of estimated coverage, the most of the conventional T500 disk packages. Even with the wide deck it needs only 61.6 in of aisle to turn around, and the 46.6 in squeegee picks up the full path. This package scrubs conventionally with water and detergent and comes with the Pro-Membrane control panel, four 6 V, 225 Ah wet batteries, Smart-Fill automatic battery watering and an on-board charger. Down pressure has three settings up to 120 lb, which helps on heavily soiled floors, and the vacuum's 46 in of water lift keeps the floor dry behind it. Quiet-Mode lowers the noise for daytime work. If the building also has tighter areas, the 26 in and 28 in versions turn around in less space.”
A mid-size 32 in scrubber with automatic battery watering
The Tennant T500 is a battery-powered, self-propelled walk-behind floor scrubber for schools, healthcare, grocery, retail and other mid-size floors. Two 16 in disks clean a 32 in (800 mm) path, and the 22.5 gal (85 L) solution and 27 gal (102 L) recovery tanks keep it on long routes between dump-and-fill stops.
This package (T500-2003D) has the Pro-Membrane control panel, four 6 V, 225 Ah wet batteries with Smart-Fill automatic battery watering, conventional cleaning with water and detergent, a 25 A on-board charger and a set of pad drivers.

Questions
Tennant T500 32 in: common questions
Do the batteries need watering?
They are wet batteries, but this package includes Smart-Fill automatic battery watering, which fills them correctly from an on-board 0.66 gal tank. The operator only refills that tank.
Does it come with pad drivers or brushes?
One set of pad drivers comes standard. Polypropylene or nylon 32 in disk brushes can be chosen in place of the pad drivers when you order.
How much floor can it clean in an hour?
Tennant estimates about 25,714 sq ft per hour of practical coverage, with a theoretical max of 35,200 sq ft per hour.
Will it fit my aisles and doorways?
The 32 in T500 is 61.1 in long, 33.5 in wide and 43.3 in high, the squeegee is 46.6 in wide, and it needs 61.6 in of aisle to turn around. Measure your tightest doorway and aisle before you order.
What does Quiet-Mode do?
Quiet-Mode lowers the sound level from 66.5 to 61.7 dBA at the operator’s ear, which helps in occupied buildings. Tennant says it also extends run time.
