When rental is the right call
A distribution centre scrubbing aisles nightly. A multi-level car park working through levels on a rolling cycle. A food or beverage facility with a daily wash-down requirement. Any site where the machine would otherwise be hired back every week — at which point you are paying short-term rates for a long-term need.
What the agreement includes
The machine for the term, delivery and collection, scheduled servicing, pads and consumables, and a replacement machine if a unit is out of action long enough to affect you. Water, power and detergent top-ups sit with you unless you would rather we managed them.
Rental versus buying a scrubber
A scrubber has more to go wrong than a sweeper — pumps, solenoids, squeegees, vacuum motors, batteries. Owning means owning all of that, plus a service relationship and a spares shelf. Rental hands the maintenance risk over for a known monthly figure, which is why most facilities with one machine rent and most with a fleet buy.
Matching the machine to a long term
Over months, the wrong size is expensive in operator hours rather than rate. We walk the floor before a rental begins: aisle widths, turning space, surface type, coating, soil load and shift pattern. The recommendation often comes back smaller than people expect, because the machine that fits keeps moving.
Servicing, batteries and uptime
Battery condition is what quietly kills scrubber productivity — a tired pack means a machine that cannot finish a shift. On a rental that is our problem to monitor and replace. Scheduled servicing happens at your site, and if a machine is down we swap it rather than book it in.

Scrubber machine rental — questions
Something else? Call 1300 387 713 and talk to someone who runs the machines.
What is the minimum rental period for a scrubber?
A month is the practical starting point. Shorter needs are better served by weekly hire.
Are batteries and servicing covered?
Yes. Scheduled servicing and battery condition are part of the agreement — a machine that will not hold charge gets attended to or replaced.
Can we rent more than one machine?
Yes, and for larger facilities a ride-on plus a walk-behind is usually the efficient combination rather than one compromise machine.
Do you supply pads for the whole term?
Yes, matched to your floor, with the count reviewed as the term runs so you are not stockpiling or running out.
Can we swap machine class mid-term?
If the work changes, talk to us. Swapping to a different class is normally more sensible than persisting with a machine that no longer suits.
