Sweep Scrub Chooses Tennant Industrial Floor Cleaning Machines

Background

Sweep Scrub, an established industrial cleaning company with a focus on providing warehouse cleaning and industrial cleaning services to Adelaide has been at the forefront of the industry for over 30 years. Throughout their journey, Sweep Scrub has consistently prioritised quality and performance in their services offering only one product: clean floors. From a one-man band to an established company, Sweep Scrub uses only state-of-the-art industrial floor sweepers and industrial floor scrubbers in its fleet, Tennant.

Challenge

When it came to selecting industrial floor cleaning machines, Sweep Scrub’s primary reason for choosing Tennant was clear: quality, reliable machines backed by robust after-sales service. While pricing is important, Sweep Scrub prioritises machines that ensure minimal downtime and readily available parts. Tennant Australia’s national presence and in-country parts warehouse provided reassurance that Sweep Scrub needed to maintain uninterrupted operations. 

"We've seen firsthand the consequences of choosing machines solely based on price. If parts aren’t readily available, the downtime can become prohibitively expensive and can lead to delay on certain jobs, impacting our services.” Said Abraham Shuken, General Manager of Sweep Scrub.

Solution

Tennant's equipment has significantly contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness of Sweep Scrub's operations. Operating over 15 Tennant machines in their fleet ranging S10 sweeper, T300 walk-behind scrubber to large industrial cleaning equipment including the T20 ride-on scrubber, M30 sweeper-scrubber and S30 sweepers with HEPA filtration. This impressive fleet enables them to deliver comprehensive industrial sweeping and scrubbing services to their customers. 

Reflecting on past challenges, the team recalls the late 90s when starting machines from other brands on cold mornings in Adelaide was a common struggle. In contrast, Tennant machines have proven to be highly reliable, with no such issues even in cold weather.

"I can’t even remember the last time we had a Tennant machine not start in the morning due to cold weather. That level of reliability has been crucial for maintaining our tight schedules and delivering consistent service," Shuken stated.

Focus on operator health and excellence

One of the key aspects that drew Sweep Scrub to Tennant's machines was their advanced features designed to enhance productivity and address specific challenges. The ergonomics of the Tennant S30 Ride On Sweeper and T20 Ride On Floor Scrubber models have evolved significantly, providing operators with a more comfortable experience, especially during long hours of operation.
