An in-depth review of Tennant's progam, proceedures and standards for used floor cleaning machines.

Dependable. Affordable. Trusted.


Tennant company is known for manufacturing the highest quality floor care equipment available. And the Tennant Recon line of pre-owned machines is no different. Reconditioned cleaning equipment can help you purchase the best cleaning equipment at a price that works with your budget.

To start, pre-owned machines are thoroughly cleaned inside and out and run through a series of computer-aided diagnostic testing. This helps identify both cosmetic damage to the protective exterior and functional damage to the machine's internal parts. These steps help place the equipment into one of three distinct tiers, Certified Pre owned, Used and As Is.

Next, our team inspects complex components such as vac fans, brush motors, trans axles, and more. When these critical components need repair, they're guaranteed to be replaced with TennantTrue® parts, engineered to work precisely with Tennant equipment.

Proper installation of these systems is crucial to ensuring your machine runs efficiently and effectively for years to come, which is why all Tennant technicians are factory-trained and frequently tested to maintain our high pre-owned equipment standards.

With the new TennantTrue parts installed, the equipment is ready to be put through functional testing to look at propulsion, brush down pressure, solution flow, water pickup, and other technical aspects.

Finally, the equipment is given a final inspection and cleaning before being added to the Tennant Recon website along with a detailed description of the equipment's condition, price and warranty.
