The ride-on scrubber for large spaces
A ride-on scrubber dryer, as its name suggests, is a machine which has the advantage of carrying its user. This leads to a reduction in fatigue and above all a significant gain in working speed for large areas.
A classic scrubber dryer called an accompanied scrubber dryer is in fact limited by the speed of movement of “human walking”. We can't imagine making the user run behind the machine...
When should you consider switching to a ride-on scrubber dryer?
Given the budget, there is some reluctance to take the plunge. nevertheless for large open areas from 2000 m2, the reflection makes sense in terms of ergonomics for the user and especially time. In fact, the output of this type of machine can reach 4000 or even 5000 m2 cleaned per hour with battery life of 3 to 5 hours.
Under these conditions, an investment can quickly find its amortization compared to less efficient machines.

ultra-manageable and ultra-compact with working comfort adapted to the user. The CRG8072/120T offers a working width of 720 mm with a battery life of up to 3 hours.
The maintenance of floors and large areas such as large distribution areas, warehouses, gymnasiums, shopping centers, exhibition halls, etc. is an essential task to facilitate the provision of permanently clean premises. To facilitate this task, ride-on scrubber dryers have become essential equipment. Why choose a ride-on scrubber dryer rather than an accompanied scrubber dryer?
What surface should be cleaned with the scrubber?
The configuration of the area to be cleaned both in terms of dimensions and configuration is the first criterion to define. The size of the surface as well as its footprint will play a determining role in the choice of your scrubber dryer.
A ride-on scrubber dryer is suitable for open cleaning areas, such as hallways or shopping centers. It offers great autonomy and is suitable for large areas. On the other hand, if you have to clean cluttered environments, such as convenience stores, small workshops or classrooms, an accompanied scrubber dryer will be more suitable. A battery or cable powered scrubber dryer is more maneuverable and allows you to effectively clean tight spaces.
How much time do you have and therefore what productivity is expected?
Productivity and therefore the time available to treat the surface is an important criterion when choosing the type of scrubber dryer. A ride-on scrubber dryer will have greater productivity and will therefore be more suitable for large surfaces to be cleaned. In addition, the fact that the driver is seated and supported by the machine means he will be able to treat a larger surface area with less fatigue. If you have a large surface area to maintain regularly, a ride-on scrubber dryer will save you time and efficiency. And here again, if your surface area is smaller, an accompanied scrubber dryer will already offer sufficient productivity
The organization of cleaning
Choosing a ride-on scrubber dryer may not be the right choice even for large areas. A self-propelled vehicle provides maximum performance but less flexibility in terms of use in certain cases. If you have a large surface area but some areas are difficult to access, the choice of two or more accompanied scrubber dryers can be a solution by offering more flexibility. In this case, it may be wise to have two
walk-behind scrubber dryers rather than one ride-on scrubber dryer. This will allow you to effectively clean all areas, even the smallest ones. This also allows you to always have a cleaning solution available in the event of a breakdown on one of the machines.
The choice of brand
Several brands have a range of high-performance ride-on or accompanied scrubber dryers.
Numatic ,
Nilfisk and
Taski are among the most popular brands historically in the world of professional cleaning. Their know-how and their National After-Sales Service, including on-site maintenance contracts, will allow you to get the most out of your equipment.
Choosing a ride-on scrubber dryer as a solution will be essentially guided by the size of the premises to be treated, the time you have to carry out the operation, your budget and the bit of flexibility that you may paradoxically need.
