SOLUTION

Hitachi needed a cleaning solution that would take care of any dirt, dust, grease, and spills. Thatway, they could meet their quality control measures, ensure greater staff safety, and maintaintheir strong reputation as a trusted brand.
They contacted Tennant, looking for a compact, robust, and reliable machine that would beefficient, simple, and intuitive for staff to operate. And most importantly, provide clean, safe, anddry floors. Hitachi chose the T12 Ride-On Scrubber, with the optional overhead guard to provide
operators with added safety while at work.

OUTCOMEThe battery operated T12 scrubber is a heavy-duty machine with a wide scrub path, while still
remaining compact and easily maneuverable. This makes it perfect for an industrial workshop.
And with the T12’s TennantTrue® squeegees and effective vacuum system, floors are left streakfree and almost totally dry, for an image-enhancing, non-slip finish that’s instantly ready for traffic.
