Whether you’re onboarding new staff, expanding your service offering, or upgrading from manual methods, these four Tennant machines are ideal starting points to help new operators build confidence and help businesses maintain clean, safe spaces at an affordable cost.

1. CS16 Micro Scrubber – A Smart Step Up from Mopping

If you're making the switch from traditional mopping, the CS16 Micro Scrubber is an excellent entry point into mechanised cleaning. Its compact size and intuitive controls make it perfect for tight spaces and high-touch zones like bathrooms and back-of-house retail stores. With an easy to remove dirty water tank, it delivers a far more hygienic clean than a mop, all while being maneuverable, quiet (eco-mode), and incredibly easy to use.

2. T260 Small Walk-Behind Scrubber – Confidence Built In

The T260 Walk-Behind Scrubber is a great place to start if you’re new to floor scrubbers. Designed with first-time users in mind, this compact machine is incredibly easy to operate—just push a button to start or stop cleaning. Whether you're managing a small retail space, a school, or a light commercial site, the T260 delivers reliable cleaning performance without the complexity. It’s lightweight, manoeuvrable, and built to handle daily cleaning tasks with ease. And if you're unsure where to begin, there's no need to worry simply scan the QR code on the machine for instant access to step-by-step training videos.

3. T560 Micro Ride On Scrubber – Cover more

Have to cover larger spaces in a shorter amount of time? Then the T560 Ride On Scrubber is the tool for your team. Compact in size but big on performance, the T560 features a dual disk scrub path, intuitive controls, and excellent visibility making it easy to operate, even for first-time users. Its tight turning radius and smooth handling help you cover more ground in less time, all while keeping training simple and operating costs low. It’s a great choice for facilities that require more productivity but still want easy onboarding and a low cost of ownership. 

4. S680 Ride On Sweeper – Effortless Dust and Debris Removal

When it comes to sweepers, the S680 Compact Sweeper is a smart, hassle-free choice, especially for light to medium-duty cleaning tasks. Whether you're working indoors or out, its self-leveling main brush and standard dual side brushes easily tackle everything from fine dust to larger debris. Need to clean carpeted areas too? Just add the optional carpet care kit and you’re covered. Thanks to the ergonomic handle, intuitive membrane display, and straightforward design, the S680 keeps sweeping simple, effective, and user friendly.
