Demo Tennant S20 Gas Powered Rider Sweeper with Cab
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“This S20 is set up for operators who sweep in heat, cold, dust or weather: it comes with a soft cab. Under the cab it is the same S20 built for 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, straight into a dumpster. The gasoline engine, governed at 24.8 hp, means no charging downtime and the power for outdoor work and ramps. Dust control is the S20's strong suit. 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, and it comes with a soft cab to shelter the operator. 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.

Questions
Tennant S20: common questions
Does this S20 come with a cab?
Yes. This demo unit includes a soft cab to help shelter the operator from weather and dust. Ask us for the overall height with the cab installed before you plan doorways and parking.
Can the S20 dump into a dumpster?
Yes. The hopper is a high-dump design that empties at variable heights up to 60 in, with 14 in of dump reach.
Can it be used indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Tennant lists the S20 for indoor and outdoor use. For indoor-only areas with limited ventilation, Tennant also builds a battery version of the S20.
Will it fit my aisles?
The S20 is 82.3 in long and 48.5 in wide and needs a 95 in aisle to turn around. Tennant lists the height at 82.1 in with the overhead guard. The cab adds to that, so measure your tightest aisle and doorway first.
Not sure the S20 fits your site?
Tell our team about the floor, the building and the shift, and we will help you decide if this is the right machine.
