Demo Tennant T681 Small Ride-On Scrubber with AGM Batteries
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Tennant T681 hits a really practical middle ground. It’s built for customers who have outgrown a walk-behind but don’t have the space, or budget, for a full-size rider. You get a noticeable bump in productivity and operator comfort without introducing a machine that feels oversized or complicated. It’s easy to train on, straightforward to maintain, and fits well in places like schools, retail, and healthcare where maneuverability still matters.
Where it earns its keep is routine cleaning. It covers ground efficiently and keeps operators moving, which is usually the real bottleneck. That said, it’s not designed for heavy industrial abuse or deep restorative work. If the floors are consistently rough or heavily soiled, you may start to see its limits.
Overall, the T681 makes the most sense as a smart step-up machine. Not flashy, not overbuilt, just a solid move for facilities trying to clean more with the same team.”
Big productivity in a small rider
The Tennant T681 is a small ride-on floor scrubber for retail stores, hospitals, schools and other medium to large spaces where a walk-behind is slowing the crew down. Two disk heads scrub a 33.5 in path, a 26.4 gal solution tank and 29.1 gal recovery tank keep it cleaning between fills, and Tennant rates it at up to 54,605 sq ft per hour theoretical maximum productivity.
At 59.6 in long and 42.9 in wide, it stays compact enough for aisles, hallways and doorways that a full-size rider cannot reach. One-button cleaning lowers the scrub head and squeegee together, so new operators are productive quickly.

Figures from Tennant. If most of your floor is open retail, school corridors or hospital hallways, the T681’s wider path covers it in fewer passes.
