❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Industrial Sweepers & Scrubbers

What is the difference between a sweeper and a scrubber?

A sweeper removes dry debris and dust using brushes and a vacuum system.

A scrubber applies water and cleaning solution to scrub, wash, and dry the floor in one pass.

Are combo sweeper/scrubber units available?

Yes — combo machines perform sweeping and scrubbing simultaneously, ideal for large industrial facilities.

What types of surfaces can these machines clean?

Concrete, epoxy, polished floors, warehouse aisles, factory floors, parking lots, and outdoor industrial surfaces.

What power options are available?

Electric (battery), propane, and diesel — depending on whether the machine is used indoors, outdoors, or both.

What cleaning widths are available?

Most industrial sweepers and scrubbers range from 26" to 72", depending on model and configuration.

Are these machines suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — propane and diesel units are designed for parking lots, yards, and outdoor industrial environments.

Do sweepers and scrubbers require CSA certification?

Yes — units can be delivered fully CSA/MOL compliant, including inspection documentation.
