Collection: Walk-Behind Scrubbers

When choosing a walk-behind scrubber, match the cleaning path width and tank capacity to your space. For areas under 20,000 sq. ft., a 17”-20” model (like SUNMAX RT15) is ideal; for 20,000-40,000 sq. ft., a 20”-28” unit (like SUNMAX RT50) fits best. Smaller spaces and cluttered layouts benefit from compact models for easier maneuvering.

SUNMAX recommends Pro Neutral Cleaner or equivalent. Always follow the manufacturer's chemical guidelines for safety and best cleaning results.
