Demo Tennant T500e 28" Disk Traction Drive Floor Scrubber (Lithium Ion)
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
The T500e is a solid choice when a building has outgrown a 20-inch scrubber but still has hallways, doorways and aisles that a rider can't handle well. With 22.5 gallons of solution and a 27-gallon recovery tank, an operator can work a long school corridor, a grocery sales floor or a hospital wing without constant trips to the drain. It drives itself, and the controls are simple enough for rotating night crews.
A 28 in disk walk-behind scrubber-dryer for mid-sized hard floors
The Tennant T500e is a mid-sized, battery-powered walk-behind scrubber-dryer for indoor hard floors such as retail aisles, schools and warehouses. This unit has the 28 in (700 mm) disk head. Two 24 VDC scrub motors drive the disk at 220 rpm. It has a 22.5 gal (85 L) solution tank, a 26.9 gal (102 L) recovery tank and a 41.3 in squeegee. Tennant estimates conventional coverage at 27,857 sq ft/hr (2,588 m²/h).

Questions
Tennant T500e 28 in disk: common questions
How long does the T500e run on a charge?
Tennant rates the 28 in disk T500e at up to 4.3 hours on four wet 210 Ah batteries. Actual run time depends on the batteries installed, the down pressure used and how the machine is operated.
Will it fit through our aisles and doorways?
The machine is 29.5 in (750 mm) wide and 59.1 in (1,501 mm) long. Tennant lists an aisle turnaround width of 59.6 in (1,514 mm). Keep in mind that the squeegee is 41.3 in (1,049 mm) wide.
How much floor can it cover in an hour?
Tennant estimates 27,857 sq ft/hr (2,588 m²/h) with conventional cleaning and 29,601 sq ft/hr (2,750 m²/h) with ec-H2O NanoClean™. The theoretical maximum is 38,503 sq ft/hr (3,577 m²/h). Real coverage depends on the floor layout, overlap and how often tanks are emptied.
Can this unit strip floor finish without chemicals?
Tennant offers chemical-free finish removal through the separate 28 in (700 mm) orbital head option. This unit has the disk head, which is built for routine scrubbing.
What batteries does it use?
