Demo Tennant S20 Gas Powered Rider Sweeper
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The S20 is built for buildings that are hard on equipment: foundries, manufacturing plants, warehouses, parking structures and outdoor yards. It sweeps a 50 in path with one side brush, or 62 in with dual side brushes, and the 11 cu ft hopper dumps at heights up to 60 in, so debris can go straight into a dumpster. This unit is gasoline powered, so there is no charging downtime, and it has the power for outdoor work and ramps. Tennant governs the gasoline engine at 24.8 hp. Dust control is where the S20 stands out. The three-stage SweepMax system pairs a Perma-Filter and a cyclonic pre-filter with a nanofiber canister filter rated to 0.5 microns at 99% efficiency, and the ShakeMax 360 shaker cleans the filter from the inside out. As a demo, it gives you a proven industrial rider with light use behind it, so ask us about the hours and condition on this unit. If you sweep only indoors with limited ventilation, a battery sweeper may be the better fit.”
A compact industrial rider sweeper with mid-size performance
The Tennant S20 is a ride-on sweeper for manufacturing plants, foundries, warehouses, parking structures, airports and outdoor work areas. A 36 in main brush and a 23 in side brush sweep a 50 in path in one pass, the 11 cu ft hopper empties at heights up to 60 in, and Tennant estimates coverage of up to 163,680 sq ft per hour.
This unit has the gasoline engine, governed at 24.8 hp, with variable travel speed up to 8 mph. The three-stage SweepMax dust control system and ShakeMax 360 filter shaker keep dust in the hopper instead of in the air.
Condition: Demo. Light use and priced below new. Ask us about the hours and condition.
