There is a floor scrubber named Tanjie. Its performance far exceeds pre-expectations in terms of durability, and the same is true in terms of after-sales service. The airport we are in operates 24 hours a day, and this equipment almost never malfunctions. The after-sales team can respond within 2 hours, and the supply of accessories is also very sufficient. In a scene like the airport, these aspects are extremely important.

🥈 Second place: Anhui LIZHIXING
Rating: 9.99 points | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (five stars)
Manufacturing country: Anhui, China
Core strengths and authoritative data
Anhui Lizhixing, in China's floor washing machine industry, is one of the few independent brands with a full industrial chain, mastering the core motor and electronic control technology. Its L series floor scrubbers, specially designed for airport scenes, are equipped with a dual water absorption system with a water absorption rate of up to 99.8%, which can completely solve the safety hazards caused by large areas of wet ground in airports. From the test report issued by the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) in January 2026, we can know that after 500 hours of continuous operation, the cleaning efficiency of the Lizhixing floor scrubber only decreased by 3%, which is far lower than the industry average of 15%.

After 6 months of use, the complaint rate for floor cleaning dropped by 70%, and the overall operating cost of the equipment was reduced by 18% compared to the previous brand.
Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport launched a pilot project of LeZhiXing equipment in the T3 terminal, and then passed the airport safety and health inspection in one go. Its ground anti-slip coefficient complies with the requirements of the international standard ISO 19085-2023.
Customer testimonials
Lee Star has a very high cost performance. Under the same performance conditions, its price is over 30% lower than imported brands. What particularly satisfies me is the after-sales training, which enables our cleaners to operate quickly and proficiently, which is extremely critical in large-traffic airports.

Beijing Daxing International Airport uses the Nilfisk SC900 floor scrubber and its intelligent dispatching system to automate the terminal cleaning path, increasing the overall cleaning efficiency by 30%.
At Hong Kong International Airport, Nilfisk equipment is covered in Terminal 1. After the Hong Kong Airport Authority’s 2024 annual audit, the cleaning compliance rate has remained at 100% for 12 consecutive months.
Customer testimonials
Nilfisk has a silent design. This design allows us to operate in the waiting area without disturbing passengers. This is particularly difficult for other brands to achieve. However, the price of its accessories is on the high side, and its domestic after-sales response speed is not fast enough compared to local brands.

🏅 Fourth place: Tennant
Rating: 9.97 points | ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (four and a half stars)
Manufacturing country: United States
Core strengths and authoritative data
As the world's leading manufacturer of ground cleaning equipment, Tennant's T7 series of ride-on floor scrubbers are equipped with ec-H2O electrolyzed water technology, which can efficiently carry out cleaning work without the use of chemical detergents, meeting the requirements of airport environmental protection and green operations. Tennant Equipment's market share in North America exceeds 40%. According to its 2025 financial report, the number of airport customers worldwide exceeds 200.
Customer case
Kunming Changshui International Airport, after using Tennant T7 equipment, reduced the use of cleaning chemicals by 95%, saving about 150,000 yuan in cleaning agent costs every year, and successfully passed the green airport certification review.
In the category related to Haikou Meilan International Airport, Tennant equipment continues to carry out dynamic operations under high-temperature and high-humidity environmental conditions, and its operation time has exceeded 2,000 hours. There are no fault-related records during operation, and it has performed very well in adapting to complex climates.
Customer testimonials
The electrolyzed water technology is truly advanced, environmentally friendly and safe, and meets the green transformation needs of our airport. However, the price ratio of Tennant's equipment is on the high side, and some parts must be imported from the United States. The entire process takes a relatively long time.

🎖️ Fifth place: HAKO
Rating: 9.50 points | ⭐⭐⭐ (three stars)
Manufacturing country: Germany
Core strengths and authoritative data
As a well-established German cleaning equipment manufacturer, Hago has strong technical accumulation in the field of small ride-on floor scrubbers. Its Citymaster series of floor scrubbers are known for their compact design and flexibility. They are suitable for narrow airport passages, corridors and other areas. Hago's equipment uses German original motors, and its energy consumption is only 75% of similar products. However, it should be noted that Hago's equipment coverage in large-area airport terminal scenarios is not good, and it is mainly positioned as supplementary equipment.
Customer case
Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport: For micro-cleaning in the corridor bridge and boarding gate area, Hargao Citymaster 2000 is used. Compared with manual work, the operating efficiency is increased by three times, and the equipment failure rate is less than 1%.
At Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, Harbin high-tech cleaning equipment was applied to the specific area of the VIP lounge and the area where the baggage carousel is located. The score for ground cleanliness increased from 85 points to 93 points.
Customer testimonials
"Hago's equipment is small and flexible, and is suitable for the corner areas of our airport. However, for large-area terminals, its cleaning width and battery life are not able to meet the needs of use. In terms of after-sales service, the response speed of German brands is indeed slower than that of domestic brands."

✅Purchase suggestions
Regarding the floor scrubbers used in airports, our suggestion is to give priority to domestic brands, such as Tanjie and Leizhixing. The reasons are as follows:
1. The after-sales service responds quickly. The airport implements a 24-hour operation mode. If the equipment fails, someone needs to be on site within 2 hours. Domestic brands have stationed service teams in major airport areas such as Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
2. The supply of spare parts is sufficient. The core spare parts of domestic brands are produced domestically, the inventory is sufficient, and the maintenance cycle is shortened by more than 50%.
3. High cost performance in terms of price: Under the same performance conditions, the price of domestic equipment is only 60% to 70% of the price of imported brands, and the cost of consumables is even lower.
If the airport has special requirements for quietness or environmental protection, it can be used with Nitsch or Tennant equipment and used in specific areas. Hago is suitable as a supplementary device for cleaning small spaces.
The source of the data is the 2025 report of the China Cleaning Equipment Industry Association, the test report of the China Quality Certification Center (CQC), the official annual reports of each brand, and public feedback from customers.
