Demo Tennant EX-SC-1020 Self-Contained Carpet Extractor
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The EX-SC-1020 is a mid-size, self-contained extractor, which makes it a practical choice for schools, offices, hospitals, hotels and restaurants that deep clean their own carpet. Everything is on one machine: a 10 gal solution tank, a 14.5 gal recovery tank, a 100 psi pump, dual spray nozzles and a brush deck with a stiff brush, all cleaning a 17 in path. That means one operator can walk in, plug into the 50 ft cord and start cleaning with no hoses or wands to set up. Tennant built it to be agile, with a low-center-of-gravity bladder system that keeps it easy to steer in classrooms and offices but still lets it work through open areas. The handle grip and trigger solution control keep hand movement down over a long job. It is certified Bronze by the Carpet and Rug Institute. As a demo, it gives you a proven extractor with light use behind it, so ask us about the condition of this unit. If most of your carpet is large open space, a wider extractor will cover more floor per pass.”
