Floor scrubber calculators and selectors

Turn facility constraints into a documented starting point before comparing models.

Machine selectorMatch route size, surface and obstacles to a machine class.Coverage calculatorConvert path width and speed into realistic route time.ROI calculatorCompare labor time and estimate payback.Pad selectorChoose a starting pad by floor and task.

Use estimates as a checklist, not a promise

Each tool isolates a different part of the purchase decision. The selector identifies a machine class from route size and layout. The coverage calculator discounts ideal productivity for real operating losses. The ROI calculator compares labor time, while the pad selector provides a conservative starting point for surface care.

Save the inputs used for each result, then verify them against the building and the current manufacturer documentation. Measure doors, elevators and storage areas. Confirm the floor finish, approved chemistry and attachment compatibility. Include time for pre-sweeping, refilling, draining, rinsing and charging. Finally, check the exact listing for included batteries, charger, brushes, pad drivers and warranty terms. These tools narrow the research; they do not replace a route walk or model-specific instructions.

Run more than one scenario when the route varies by shift or season. Comparing a conservative case with an expected case makes the assumptions visible and gives managers a better basis for checking dealer proposals.
