Superwinch Relies on the T16 Scrubber and ec-H2O to Enhance Sustainability

Superwinch designs and manufactures a broad range of winches, and the company’s 1,000-pound (approx. 450 kg) to 50,000-pound (approx. 22,000 kg) capacity winches are found in diverse industries and applications worldwide. Superwinch combines first-class design, quality, value and solid construction for safe, simple and reliable operation. 

Challenge

Superwinch needed a reliable, highly manoeuvrable scrubber that could easily navigate 2.2 metre-wide warehouse aisles. Their previous scrubber left wet, slippery floors in its path, was difficult to maintain and had to be backed-out when pallets blocked aisles.

Solution

The Tennant T16 battery-powered rider scrubber was selected because it works great in tight spaces and is equipped with Tennant’s exclusive ec-H2O cleaning technology. Chemical-free ec-H2O technology works by electrically converting water into an innovative cleaning solution. This solution cleans effectively, saves money, improves safety and reduces environmental impact compared to daily cleaning floor chemicals and methods.

Results

‘The T16 scrubber’s tight turning radius is a godsend. Now, instead of backing out if an aisle is blocked by a pallet, I can spin right around’, said Maintenance Manager, Roman Giebultowski. Plus, the Superwinch facility is ISO 14001-certified, so whatever scrubber they chose had to be environmentally safe. ‘And by not using 13.5 litres of chemicals to clean the floors each week, we save approximately $2,000 to $3,000 a year’.

PERFORMS GREAT, EASY TO MAINTAIN

Giebultowski appreciates how quickly the floor dries and is ready for employees to walk on after cleaning. He also likes the T16 scrubber’s easy-to-identify maintenance touch points. Servicing the T16 is easy and replacing worn brushes or squeegee blades takes just a few minutes.
