Tennant S780 Compact Ride On Floor Sweeper
Why Buy From Us
Can a compact ride-on floor sweeper cover large indoor and outdoor floors?
Yes — the Tennant S780 Compact Ride-On Floor Sweeper packs a wide 1,200mm sweeping path, a 67 litre hopper, and up to 3 hours of battery run time into an easy-to-use machine built for light- to medium-duty work indoors and out. It keeps floors clean and operators moving with fewer stops and less effort, so one person covers more ground per shift. Intuitive controls and an automatic filter cleaning system mean less time figuring things out and more time cleaning, while dual side brushes sweep right into edges and corners. A high-suction vacuum and efficient dust filtration keep air quality in check — all without fumes or excessive noise — and when servicing comes around, tool-free access to the main brush and filter gets the machine back to work fast.
Standard inclusions:
Includes batteries, charger, and main polypropylene brush.
Key features
- Wide 1,200mm sweeping path — dual side brushes and main brush system cover large areas in fewer passes, so a single operator finishes big floors faster and frees up labour hours for other tasks.
- Large 67 litre hopper — fewer stops to empty mean longer cleaning runs, so productivity holds up across a full shift.
- Battery powered, up to 180 minutes run time — fume-free, emission-free operation indoors and out, so you complete longer routes on one charge without ventilation concerns.
- Dual side brushes — clean right into edges and corners across the full sweep path, so debris is picked up to the skirting and you skip a second manual pass.
- Self-levelling main brush — adjusts automatically to uneven floors to hold constant pressure, so debris is collected consistently and the brush wears evenly for longer life.
- Automatic filter cleaning system — keeps filtration performance consistent without manual intervention, so suction stays strong and operators don't stop to shake out filters.
- Tool-free main brush & filter removal — fast maintenance with no tools, so routine servicing takes minutes and the machine is back working sooner.
- Integrated dust flap — captures and contains larger debris, so more is collected in a single pass and less is left behind.
- Speed-controlled side brushes — adjust automatically to debris levels, so the operator isn't constantly managing settings and finishes the shift less fatigued.
- Low-dump hopper — easy-to-empty bin simplifies debris removal, so emptying is quick and clean at floor level.
- High forward seat position — clear sightlines around the machine, so operators navigate tight, busy areas safely.
- Quiet operation from 70 dBA — low enough for noise-sensitive areas, so you clean during opening hours without disrupting people nearby.
- Spring-loaded side brushes — protected from side impact, so the brushes survive knocks against racking and kerbs and last longer.
