For smaller sites, measure doorways, turns, floors and filling/draining arrangements before buying a scrubber-dryer.

Measure the narrowest access, not only total area

Measure doors, rack gaps, lifts and turns along the actual route. Equal floor areas can have different access requirements. Keep plans and photographs and compare machine dimensions against route restrictions.

Divide cleaning tasks by zone

Record floor materials, main stains and cleaning windows separately for offices, corridors, shops and public areas. Remove larger debris before assessing scrubbing and wastewater recovery. Machine size alone cannot establish a fixed cleaning result.

Check replenishment and storage

Confirm filling, draining, charging, storage and movement between floors. Trial the complete route and record filling/draining, residual water and manual tasks rather than demonstrating only a straight run in an open area.

How to confirm the next step

Prepare site photographs and the model/configuration list. Confirm access, work frequency and maintenance conditions. This is a selection and management checklist, not a replacement for the equipment manual, a site trial or confirmation of the supplied configuration.
