Key Differences That Matter

When comparing the RX32 to other 32-inch ride-on scrubbers, several key distinctions stand out:

Capacity vs Machine Size

The RX32 delivers best-in-class tank volume while remaining sleek and maneuverable. 

Runtime vs Operational Efficiency

With up to 6 hours of runtime, the RX32 minimizes downtime and supports continuous cleaning across large facilities. This translates to best-in-class RX32 productivity.

Power vs Noise Levels

Many high-capacity machines generate increased noise. The RX32 is engineered for quieter operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments. It also has a sleek headlight for illuminating the work area.

 

Versatility vs Specialization

While some machines are designed strictly for industrial use, the RX32 adapts easily across commercial, institutional, and industrial settings.​ It is fitted with a 60PSI spray hose and gun at the rear of the machine to aid the operator in a number of ways.
