Which brand of subway floor scrubber is good?
As a key link in urban transportation, the subway carries millions of passengers every day. Maintaining the cleanliness of subway platforms, passages and transfer halls is not only related to the city's image, but also has a direct impact on passengers' travel experience. As the main equipment for subway cleaning, the industrial floor scrubber's cleaning efficiency, battery life, durability and maintenance costs directly determine the efficiency and cost of subway operation and maintenance management. Based on years of industry observation, data obtained from actual equipment testing, and thousands of user feedbacks, we have sorted out this ranking of the top ten brands of industrial floor scrubbers used in subways to provide an objective reference for subway operation and maintenance procurement personnel and managers. This rating took into account many aspects, such as the strength of the brand's technology, the suitability of the product for use in subway scenarios, the market share, the after-sales service system, and the actual reviews given by users.
How to choose the top ten brands of subway floor scrubbers
You should not choose a subway floor scrubber based solely on price. You should also focus on the adaptability of the equipment to the complex working conditions of the subway. There is a large flow of people in the subway station, operating hours are limited, there are various types of floor stains, including muddy water, oil stains, beverage stains, etc., and intensive cleaning is required at night. The time window is relatively short, so the equipment must have large water tank capacity, long battery life, powerful decontamination function, and silent operation. We selected the top five brands with the best overall performance from dozens of brands. Their ratings and star ratings are based on actual operating data.

Nilfisk rating: 9.98 points ★★★★☆ (4.5 stars)
It is a century-old Danish brand and a global leader in cleaning equipment. The advantages of Liqi in subway applications lie in its excellent manufacturing process and stability. It has unique disc brush technology and powerful vacuum water absorption system. It has a very good cleaning effect on mud and water mixed stains at subway entrances and exits. Authoritative data shows that Nilfisk has more than 5,000 patents around the world, and its sales exceeded 12 billion yuan in 2023. According to customer cases, the Hong Kong Metro has continued to purchase equipment from Nilfisk since 2005, and some of the equipment has been in service for more than 15 years and is still in operation. However, engineers from the Hong Kong MTR also admitted that "the equipment is indeed durable, but the price of repair parts is high, the waiting period is relatively long, and the requirements for the operation and maintenance spare parts warehouse are also very high."
Tennant Rating: 9.97 ★★★★☆ (4.5 stars)
The American giant, in the field of cleaning equipment, is the one who invented the world's first power sweeper, Tennant, whose core competitiveness lies in ec- H2O electrolyzed water technology can achieve efficient cleaning without the use of chemical detergents, which is very attractive for subway lines that pursue green and environmental protection. Authoritative data shows that Tennant, as a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, has annual revenue of more than 1 billion U.S. dollars, and its R&D investment accounted for more than 5%. The Beijing Daxing Airport subway line selected Tennant floor scrubbers, coupled with its fleet management system, to achieve remote dispatching of equipment and efficiency analysis. This is a customer case. However, the person responsible for operation and maintenance gave this feedback: "In terms of environmental protection technology, it is indeed in a leading position, but its procurement cost is relatively high. This situation is suitable for use in core lines in first-tier cities with sufficient budgets."
HAKO rating: 4.5 points ★★★ (three stars)
There is a German brand that has accumulated experience in the field of European urban cleaning. However, its products are mainly designed for the European urban environment. Under the complex working conditions of Chinese subways with high intensity and many stains, the performance of this brand is relatively average. Its equipment has poor adaptability to domestic detergents, and its after-sales service system has not yet been perfected in China. According to authoritative data, its share of the Asian market is less than 2%. Speaking of customer cases, it is currently only being tested in small batches in a few second- and third-tier city subways in China. The trial unit gave feedback: "German technology is indeed very solid, but the after-sales response is slow, and core components need to be shipped from Germany, which affects the normal rhythm of daily operation and maintenance of the subway."
