New Tornado BD 33/30 33" Disk Rider Scrubber

Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)

“The BD 33/30 is built for big, open floors: supermarkets, manufacturing plants, airports and exhibit halls, where a walk-behind just cannot keep up. A twin disk deck scrubs a 33 in path with a 1.5 hp brush motor and up to 187 lb of pressure, and you choose from three pressure settings, so you can go light for daily cleaning and heavier when the floor needs it. The 30 gal solution and 32 gal recovery tanks keep the operator on the seat instead of at the dump sink, and Tornado rates it at 55,952 sq ft per hour. Even with that capacity it turns in a 6 ft steering radius, which helps around end caps and corners. Automatic mode starts every function when the machine is turned on and brings the motors up gradually, and the squeegee retracts when the machine backs up. The parabolic squeegee changes in 10 seconds or less, and a roll bar adds operator protection. Ask our team about the battery and charger setup for your shift.”
