How to choose traction or gel for a floor scrubber
A ride-on industrial scrubber goes to tubular-plate PzS traction; a walk-behind housing goes to sealed deep-cycle gel. After the class is chosen, open one quote.
On a floor scrubber you choose class first: a ride-on industrial machine maps to the published traction family (PzS, tubular plate); a compact walk-behind housing maps to published deep-cycle gel. In-housing millimetres and daily run time carry the conversation. Nova keeps those two families on their own pages. A pack is not named before class is clear. The quote is one form for the class you chose.
How a ride-on scrubber parts from a walk-behind
A large ride-on floor scrubber wants a long indoor shift and flooded PzS. On a scrubber, PzS only names the tubular plate kind inside the cell and does not tally how many cells sit in the pack. A compact walk-behind wants sealed deep-cycle gel; water is not added.
Facility managers, contract-cleaning buyers or an import desk fill the list. Duty lives on the cleaning-machine application page. Keep the form open until the machine class is marked. A forklift tray list is not pasted here.
Housing fit and the daily run
Write in-housing length, width and height in millimetres. Daily run time and the charge window start the conversation; ampere-hours are not calculated here. Fabricated millimetres are not written — the housing is measured again on the machine.
The traction family page shows the PzS range. The deep-cycle gel family page shows the sealed range. The two tables are not reprinted; each is scanned on its own models index.
- Machine class (ride-on industrial or walk-behind)
- In-housing mm (L × W × H)
- Daily run time and charge window
- Destination country; quantity on a separate line
Watering a tubular PzS plate versus sealed gel
PzS uses flooded electrolyte and needs watering checks. Deep-cycle gel is valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA), sealed; acid or water is not added. Whether watering sits in the maintenance plan is a qualitative note.
Solar storage, standard SLI starting and wheelchair duty are not selected here. Family FAQs carry the plate-versus-pack split; this guide does not clone those questions.
What this scrubber class-choice guide is not for
A forklift tray measurement, a price list, a city page and a lithium kit sit outside this article. A pallet-truck narrow slot is a separate list. Wheelchair and access-platform duty live on their deep-cycle gel application pages and are not mixed into a floor-scrubber form.
The class split writes no stock, lead weeks, warranty year or cycle-life figure. Unsuitable: putting both families on one request without writing class. Duty stays on the application page.
Opening one quote after the class is chosen
When class is clear, open one quote: the traction form for a ride-on industrial scrubber, the deep-cycle gel form for a walk-behind or compact housing. Cleaning-machine may stay as an application note. Do not add the second class to the same form. The technical team re-measures missing millimetres with you.
The forklift tray form is not moved here. The step is class discovery; a delivery date does not appear. If you are unsure, leave class blank — the technical team splits it.
Frequently asked questions
- Why may only one class sit on a scrubber quote?
- The quote expects one class; two classes on one request collide and leave the housing unclear. Industrial ride-on wash opens the traction form; a walk-behind housing opens the deep-cycle gel form. This page keeps the shared list and does not submit both. Stock and price are not minted here either. If you are unsure, leave class blank.
- How is industrial floor-wash split from a walk-behind without a stock name?
- Application copy maps large floor scrubbers to traction and walk-behind or compact housings to deep-cycle gel. This guide restates that split; it does not write a stock name. In-housing millimetres and daily run time carry the conversation. No code is offered without dimensions. Conflicting class and millimetres stay a question on the quote.
- Why is the forklift tray form unused even when traction is chosen?
- The same traction family still carries a different duty than a warehouse forklift: indoor floor care, in-housing fit and low noise. The forklift list asks aisle, shifts and vehicle voltage for that duty. The cleaning list asks class and housing millimetres. The two lists are not merged. PzS still names plate type inside the cell, not pack cell count.
- Which line is written when class and housing millimetres disagree?
- Write both as observed; do not invent a model or a second class. The technical team confirms which family will fit with you. Certificate or cycle-year figures are not fabricated. The form still opens with one class — an unsure class may stay blank. Export English lives on the English page.
