New Timberline M-Series Walk-Behind Floor Scrubber
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The M-Series is the middle of Timberline's walk-behind line and a size most schools and hospitals can use almost everywhere. It is big enough to cover classrooms, cafeterias, gyms and hallways with 16-gallon tanks, yet compact enough to roll through small doorways and onto elevators. Timberline sizes it for areas under 50,000 square feet, with up to 2.5 hours of run time and up to 70,000 square feet per charge.
Choose the deck for the floor. The disk models (20, 26 or 28 inch) are the everyday scrubbers with the lowest maintenance cost. The orbital models (24 or 28 inch) strip finish without chemicals and leave no swirl marks, which makes VCT refinishing in a hospital or school hallway quicker. The 26-inch cylindrical sweeps and scrubs in one pass for grouted tile and rubber floors. Like every Timberline, it is hand-built in Wisconsin on a steel frame with non-proprietary parts.”
A mid-size walk-behind scrubber with disk, orbital or cylindrical decks
The Timberline M-Series is a battery-powered walk-behind floor scrubber with a medium footprint, built by RPS Corporation in Racine, Wisconsin. Timberline sizes it for classrooms, cafeterias, gyms, hospital hallways and other areas under 50,000 sq ft, and it passes easily through small doorways and onto elevators. It carries 16-gallon solution and recovery tanks, runs up to 2.5 hours on standard 175 Ah wet batteries and covers up to 70,000 sq ft per charge. Disk, orbital and cylindrical decks match it to daily scrubbing, chemical-free finish removal or grouted tile.

Reading the model numbers: In these Timberline part numbers, TM is the M-Series, the number is the cleaning path in inches and the letter is the deck: D for disk, R for orbital and C for cylindrical. The M-Series models share the same steel chassis, 16-gallon tanks and vacuum system.
Features:
- RPS through-bolts the scrub deck, battery support, wheels, squeegee linkage and tanks to a 3/16 in powder-coated steel frame, not to the tanks
- Five protective barriers in the recovery tank keep moisture out of the vacuum motor
- Brushes and pads install and remove without tools, and squeegee blades rotate or flip without tools
- Soft corners and wall rollers come standard to protect walls, fixtures and goods
- Non-proprietary parts, so any technician with basic knowledge of battery-powered equipment can make repairs
