Tennant T260 Walk Behind Floor Scrubber
Enter your postcode for a freight cost
The Tennant T260 is one of the most popular compact walk-behind floor scrubbers we sell — and it's easy to see why. Purpose-built for smaller commercial spaces, it covers up to 1,950m² per hour while fitting through standard doorways and navigating tight corners that larger ride-on machines simply can't reach.
If you're running a retail store, medical clinic, café, office, or boutique facility and need a reliable daily scrubber that doesn't demand a warehouse to store it, the T260 is consistently our top recommendation. It delivers genuine commercial-grade cleaning performance in a compact, operator-friendly package. Finance available through Emu Money — apply from the button above.

Clean up to 1,950m² an hour in a machine that fits through standard doorways
Key Features
- 500mm disc scrub head — covers up to 1,950m² per hour in a frame that fits through standard doorways, so small commercial facilities get productive daily cleaning without a large machine footprint
- 40L solution and 45L recovery tanks — large enough to clean medium commercial spaces in a single run without stopping to refill or empty, so cleaning sessions stay uninterrupted
- 772mm floating squeegee with splash guards — maximises water pickup on each pass, so floors dry quickly after scrubbing and slip hazards are minimised in occupied spaces
- 72 dBA sound level — quiet enough to run during business hours in retail, hospitality, and healthcare settings, so cleaning doesn't have to be scheduled around staff or customers
- Maintenance-free sealed gel batteries — up to 3 hours runtime — no watering, no acid handling, and lower running costs over the machine's life, so daily operation doesn't require specialist battery maintenance knowledge
- Intuitive push-button start/stop with battery metre display — operators are comfortable within a single shift with no formal training required, so the machine can be handed to any staff member without extended onboarding
- Tool-free brush and pad change system — switch between pad types for different floor surfaces without tools or downtime, so one machine handles varied flooring across a facility
- Yellow touch-point daily maintenance system — marks service points clearly so operators know exactly what to check and when, reducing the risk of maintenance being missed during busy periods
- Large recovery tank opening — easy to flush and inspect after each use, so hygiene is maintained and odours don't develop from residual dirty water
- Excellent operator sight lines — allows precise cleaning along walls and edges without guesswork, so corners and margins are cleaned consistently rather than left for manual mopping
Package Options
- Machine only — the T260 with batteries, on-board charger, scrub head, squeegee, pad driver and polypropylene brush.
- Machine + Starter Pack — adds a spare 50cm polypropylene scrubbing brush, a 50cm red cleaning pad and a 50cm white polishing pad, so you can switch between scrubbing and polishing from the first day without waiting on a parts order. Priced below buying the three separately.
- Machine + VWD72 Vacuum — adds the Tennant VWD72 wet and dry vacuum with $100 off the two bought separately, so one order covers the scrubber and a vacuum for pre-sweeping and spot clean-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the T260 compare with other Tennant scrubbers?
The CS5 and CS16 are micro-scrubbers designed for confined rooms and highly manoeuvrable cleaning. The T260 steps up to a 500mm cleaning path and substantially larger solution and recovery tanks, making it more productive across open commercial floors.
For larger facilities requiring greater tank capacity and productivity, consider models such as the T291 or T1B. Contact us with your floor area, surface type and cleaning frequency and we'll help compare the most suitable options. Current pricing is shown on each product page.
What floor surfaces can the T260 clean?
The T260 handles sealed concrete, vinyl, tiles, epoxy, and most hard commercial floor surfaces. The tool-free pad change system allows switching between scrubbing pads for different floor types — softer pads for polished or sealed floors, harder pads for rough concrete and industrial surfaces. It's not designed for carpet or heavily textured outdoor surfaces.
How long does the battery last and how does it charge?
Up to 3 hours runtime on maintenance-free sealed gel batteries. The on-board charger is included — plug in at the end of a shift and the machine is ready for the next day. Sealed gel batteries require no watering or acid handling, which simplifies maintenance and reduces the risk of battery damage from incorrect maintenance.
Can I finance the T260?
Yes — equipment finance is available through Emu Money. Apply from the button above the Add to Cart button. For help comparing finance vs outright purchase, or to discuss the right Tennant model for your application before committing, call us on 1300 404 226.
What does the freight cost and how is the T260 delivered?
At 141.5kg, the T260 requires a freight quote specific to your delivery location. Give us a call on 1300 404 226 or email sales@ozcleaninggear.com.au before ordering and we'll confirm the delivery cost and timeframe to your address. We dispatch across Australia.
What warranty does the T260 come with?
24 months on parts (or 2,000 hours) and 12 months on labour (or 2,000 hours). Tennant's Australian service network provides genuine parts and factory-trained service technicians nationally. For warranty claims or service enquiries, give us a call on 1300 404 226 and we'll connect you with the right support for your state.
Will the T260 pay for itself compared to what I'm using now?
Depends on your floor area, current cleaning method, and labour cost — try our free Floor Scrubber ROI & Payback Calculator and plug in your own numbers to see the payback period in weeks or months.
It's worth noting: the T260 isn't the right fit for every situation. If you're cleaning areas over 3,000m² regularly, you'd get better productivity from a mid-size scrubber like the T291 or T1B. For smaller commercial environments needing daily reliable cleaning, it's hard to beat at this price point.
