A ride-on scrubber dryer is a large scrubber dryer with a seat. The user can sit on the equipment as they operate it. Ride-on scrubber dryers are steered with a wheel and the ‘driver’ can use the other controls to clean or dry areas as required.

Because the user can sit down, on a comfortable seat, they’re less likely to fatigue. This means they’ll be able to clean a bigger area more quickly compared to a walk-behind floor scrubber.
Ride-on scrubber dryers have wider scrubbing paths so they can clean a larger surface area in one go. They also have a larger capacity for storing water and detergent, meaning less time is spent on re-filling and emptying the tanks.
Ride on floor scrubbers are ideal for large hard floor surfaces like warehouse floors. Cleaning and drying large surface areas in no time at all.
A walk behind floor scrubber is guided by an operator. Taking less manual effort than a mop, walk behind floor cleaners need to be directed around the floor space. This way the operator can avoid any obstacles and make sure the area is cleaned properly.
Walk behind floor scrubber dryers are smaller than ride-on models, so they can be navigated into smaller and narrow spaces.
If you’re cleaning a retail space with clothing racks or lots of shelving, a walk behind floor scrubbing machine is easy to manoeuvre around obstacles.
Because of their smaller size, walk behind scrubber dryers take up less storage space and are usually easy to store.
