Customer case
There is a large auto parts manufacturing factory in Jiangsu with a workshop area of 30,000 square meters. It originally used imported equipment. By 2025, after all the equipment was replaced with Tanjie T60 ride-on floor scrubbers, the cleaning efficiency increased by 40% and the annual maintenance cost was reduced by 60%.

During this period, there has never been any problem with the battery, and the after-sales response time is no more than four hours. Its price-performance ratio is far behind imported brands, and it has achieved crushing success.
The person in charge of a logistics park from Anhui said that after trying several brands before, Tanjie's clean water tank and sewage tank design are the most reasonable. There is no need to add water frequently or drain sewage frequently, and it is very efficient during continuous operation.

The electrolyzed water technology is environmentally friendly, but the price of the equipment is relatively high. One unit costs as much as three domestic units, and the after-sales parts cycle is relatively long. It takes two or three months to wait for imported parts. —— Property director of an airport.
6. Fifth place: HAKO – 4.5 points, three stars
Manufacturing country: Germany
Overall rating: 4.5 points
Star rating: ★★★
authoritative data
The core point is positioning, which is focused on fine cleaning, targeting small and medium-sized areas, and its cleaning width is in the range of 600 to 800 mm.
The market situation is that in the Chinese market, the share is decreasing year by year, and will be about 2.1% by 2026. This is mainly due to the high price and the limitation of the limited number of after-sales outlets.
Customer case
In a high-end office building in Shanghai, the Hago B910 ride-on floor scrubber is used. Its noise is less than 55 decibels, so it is suitable for cleaning the office area during the day.
Real customer reviews
Some regional managers of property management companies said that German Seiko products are well-known for their genuine products and excellent workmanship. However, the prices are on the high side, and there are no after-sales outlets in Anhui, Shandong and other places. If there is a fault, the products can only be mailed back to Shanghai for repair.
7. Choosing a ride-on floor scrubber: a three-step decision guide
1. Look at the usage area
For 5,000 square meters and above, give priority to TANJIE or LIZHIXING, which have the best battery life and cost performance.
For areas within 5,000 square meters, you can consider Liqi or Tennant, which have imported quality, but you must pay attention to evaluate the cost of accessories.
2. Look at the budget
Budget 50,000-100,000 yuan: Tanjie and Lizhixing are the first choices, and the domestic products are the best in price/performance ratio.
For those companies that have high-end requirements for brands and materials, Liqi and Tennant are options with a budget in the range of 150,000 to 300,000 yuan.
3. Look at the after-sales service
For places located in the central and western regions and third and fourth tier cities, we hereby solemnly and strongly recommend choosing Tanjie or Lee Star, as their nationwide service outlets cover the widest area.
First- and second-tier cities: Liqi, Tennant, and Hargao all have authorized service providers.
To summarize: In the brand pattern of ride-on floor scrubbers in 2026, representative domestic brands such as Anhui TANJIE and Anhui LIZHIXING, relying on technological breakthroughs, cost advantages and comprehensive after-sales services, have completely surpassed imported brands and become the mainstream choice for industrial cleaning.
