Purchasing a brand new floor scrubber is typically the first option on the table, but it is not always the best. Refurbished and rebuilt used floor scrubbers provide a cost-effective way to buy top-brand floor cleaning equipment. However, many facilities managers hesitate to buy something used simply because you never know how it was maintained before you. The decision to buy used comes with many challenging questions. How was the floor scrubber or sweeper maintained before your purchase? What type of warranty is available if you buy a pre-owned machine and it stops working a few weeks later? Or worse, what if it stops working as soon as you leave?
When it comes to used machines, Factory Cleaning Equipment’s service and maintenance technicians fully inspect, service, and rebuild each machine, and then double-check to make sure we didn’t miss anything in between. You can rest assured that our certified warranty helps commercial and industrial facilities purchase used machines without having to worry about reliability or performance. Here is a breakdown of the 4 reasons why purchasing a used machine from FCE may be better than buying new:
1. All New Floor Scrubber Parts
Factory Cleaning Equipment doesn’t just “fix” used floor scrubbers—we inspect them from top to bottom and then we rebuild each machine from the frame up. During a comprehensive inspection, our experienced technicians will install new replacement parts, sand and paint metal parts, and replace or rebuild motors as needed. From batteries to driver seats, hoses, and all wear items, the FCE certified rebuild program transforms used floor scrubbers and cleaning equipment to sell at a budget-friendly price for your facility.
Our Refurbishing Process
Check out this video where we explain how our team inspects, rebuilds, and tests used ride-on and walk-behind floor scrubbers and sweepers before we sell them.
TIP: If you’re not ready to lay out the capital for a new or used floor scrubber or sweeper, consider working with FCE to rebuild your current floor cleaning machine. Our Certified Rebuild Program is an economical and environmentally friendly alternative.
2. FCE’s Warranty for Used Floor Cleaning Machines
Unlike our competitors, there’s no minimum purchase price, restrictions, or 72-hour time limit on our warranty for used floor cleaning equipment sold by FCE. If you buy a used floor scrubber or sweeper from us, you’re automatically covered. If you’re not satisfied with your used machine, let us know and we will make it right. Contact a floor cleaning specialist at FCE rather than relying on promises made by an untrustworthy online retailer.
3. Top Floor Cleaning Equipment Brands You Trust
We refurbish, rebuild, and sell pre-owned floor scrubbers and sweepers from top brands that have a history of dependable performance, including PowerBoss, Tennant, Factory Cat, and much more. FCE is committed to providing the equipment necessary for commercial and industrial facilities to maintain clean and safe environments for their employees and visitors.
