A good majority of companies that use floor scrubbers might actually be getting rid of them before they ever need to. You might be surprised by that suggestion, but it’s quite true.

The lifespan of floor scrubbers has grown steadily over time. While it’s difficult to put an exact number of years on any specific design, they often last longer than you might expect. Unfortunately, quite a few firms have to purchase new machines on a regular basis for contractual reasons or due to other concerns.

Lifespans of Different Types Of Floor Scrubbers

Depending on the specific type of unit you have, it can be hard to accurately predict the lifespan. For instance, as long as you keep a propane-driven floor scrubber properly fueled and all of its connections tight the machine should last for quite some time. While it needs a small amount of maintenance, a propane-driven device should prove quite safe as well.

Battery-powered machines will eventually require their batteries to be replaced, due to the fact that they will slowly lose the ability to maintain voltage. Once you do, however, you should find that the motors and other moving parts will only require a bare minimum of maintenance.

Pads and other consumables of course need to be replaced on a somewhat regular basis, and different components will have their own certified lifespans. Depending on how much you use your unit, these parts will wear out more or less frequently. That being said, proper care of them will ensure that the rest of the floor scrubber’s mounted machinery should last for quite some time.

High-use will naturally wear machine parts down over time, though heavy-duty floor scrubbers have a tendency to be able to hold up to this sort of usage more than other options. Companies that perform janitorial services for outside organizations will probably want to invest in this kind of equipment.

Lifespan Of Refurbished Floor Scrubbers

Floor scrubbers, when cared for properly, should last a number of years. If you purchase a new floor scrubber and take care of it in a manner specified by the original equipment manufacturer, then you shouldn’t have problems with it for a number of years.

Naturally, you’ll need to replace pads and batteries over time, but the underlying unit shouldn’t break down when treated properly. Some companies have to dump their devices onto the secondhand market faster than this, however, and when that happens they end up at dealers.

Once a machine comes into PS Janitorial, we give it to our technicians who are experienced with putting together refurbished machines. They’ll double-check that everything works and then replace the batteries and any spare parts with certified components so you can be sure you’re getting a like-new system. The device should, in turn, work just as long as a new one as well.
