The Tennant T350 is a professional, battery powered, stand-on floor cleaning machine. It features optimized mobility controls and best-in-class UI cleaning controls. This new platform is aligned with Tennant Company’s commercial visual brand language to project robustness, integration of features, and superior quality.

The short machine “footprint” provides greater maneuverability than traditional sit-on rider scrubbers while also making the machine better suited for operating in tight spaces and less fatiguing than standard walk-behind scrubbers.

The machine features on-board generation of a cleaning solution that does not require additional chemicals or detergents.  The design emphasizes ease-of-use by integrating training aids such as color-coded controls, maintenance touch points, and useful features such as a storage tray and trash bag and spray bottle holders.

A touch-screen interface allows operators to create and save machine settings as well as watch instructional videos about machine operation and maintenance.
