Workshop floors are often congested with equipment and vehicles, making thorough cleaning with traditional methods a chore. IPC’s walk behind floor scrubbers – the CT15, CT51, and CT71 – are specifically designed to tackle tough dirt in automotive environments while easily maneuvering around tight spaces.
Why Clean Floors Matter in Automotive Environments
Maintaining a clean and professional workspace goes far beyond appearance. The benefits of clean floors impact everything from health and safety to regulatory compliance and customer confidence. Here’s why investing in a quality floor scrubber matters.
- Health: Oil, grease, coolant and water spills pose slip hazards. Clean surfaces help protect staff and customers.
- Cost Control: Outdated cleaning methods can inflate labour costs and accelerate floor wear.
- High Traffic Zones: Workshops and tyre bays see rapid build-up of dirt, debris and tyre marks, requiring robust cleaning.
- Longevity of Equipment: Dust and grime can impair vehicle lifts, wheel alignment rigs and other workshop tools over time.
- Compliance: Clean, dry floors are essential for passing health and safety inspections.
- Customer Perception: A spotless service centre enhances your professional image and builds confidence.
