Revitalize your Floors
A Deep Dive into the Tennant T5e Floor Scrubber
Maintaining a clean and safe environment is paramount for any facility, from bustling schools and hospitals to busy factories and retail spaces. When it comes to achieving consistently spotless floors, the right equipment makes all the difference. Enter the Tennant T5e Floor Scrubber, a robust and efficient walk-behind machine designed to deliver exceptional cleaning results with surprising ease.
The Tennant T5e has long been a workhorse in the commercial cleaning industry, known for its reliability and user-friendly design. While newer models like the T500e have emerged, the T5e remains a popular choice, especially for those seeking a dependable and effective solution.
So, what makes the Tennant T5e stand out? Let’s take a closer look at its key features and benefits.
Power and Performance for a Pristine Clean
At its core, the T5e is built for serious scrubbing power. Equipped with two robust 0.75 hp brush motors, it delivers vigorous agitation, ensuring a thorough clean across various hard floor surfaces like concrete, stone, and tile. Whether you opt for the disk or cylindrical scrub head, the T5e offers impressive productivity, with theoretical maximum coverage rates up to 35,200 sq ft per hour (for the 32-inch model).
Beyond just scrubbing, the T5e boasts an excellent water recovery system. Its powerful 0.85 hp vacuum motor pulls up to 62 inches of water lift, ensuring floors are left virtually dry and streak-free, even after 180-degree turns. This superior water pickup significantly reduces the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, a critical safety benefit for any public or commercial space.
Designed for Efficiency and Ease of Use
One of the T5e’s most lauded features is its simplicity. Tennant has clearly prioritized user-friendliness, incorporating “Quick-Train™” controls that make operation intuitive and reduce the learning curve for new operators. Maintenance is also straightforward, with no-tool squeegee and brush replacement, saving valuable time and effort.One of the T5e’s most lauded features is its simplicity.

The T5e’s generous tank capacities further enhance efficiency. With a 22.5-gallon solution tank and a 27-gallon recovery tank, operators can clean large areas without frequent stops for refilling and emptying. This means more time spent cleaning and less time on logistical tasks. Plus, with a single battery charge, the T5e can scrub for up to 5 hours, ensuring extended cleaning sessions.


Durability You Can Rely On
Tennant machines are renowned for their rugged construction, and the T5e is no exception. From non-corroding cast aluminum scrub decks and squeegee frames to extensive real-world vacuum testing, this machine is built to withstand the rigors of daily commercial use. This durability translates to a longer lifespan for the machine and a better return on your investment.
Quiet Operation for Any Environment
With noise levels as low as 67 dBA, the T5e is surprisingly quiet for a commercial floor scrubber. This low sound output makes it an ideal choice for noise-sensitive environments like hospitals, schools, and offices, where cleaning can be performed without causing disruption.
