The SS60 is the most affordable way to replace the mop and bucket with an automatic scrubber. At $4,000 CAD, the 21-inch walk-behind machine scrubs and dries sealed floors in a single pass. Most of the price is the machine itself — there is no mandatory service contract baked in.

SS60 Walk-Behind Floor Scrubber
The lowest-cost entry into automatic floor scrubbing
Aperçu
Points forts
It carries the lowest acquisition cost of any powered scrubber in the range while still covering 5,000–30,000 sq ft per shift. The maintenance-free lithium-ion battery is included at the base price, and the only ongoing costs are consumable squeegee blades and brushes. Against manual mopping, the SS60 typically pays for itself in 3 to 6 months of daily use.
À considérer
The base price includes the lithium-ion battery and onboard charger — there is no battery upgrade to budget for. Above ~30,000 sq ft per shift the SS75-R ride-on is the better cost-per-square-foot. Freight is quoted separately and depends on your postal code and dock access.
Quand ne PAS choisir ce modèle
If daily cleaning consistently exceeds 30,000 sq ft, the SS75-R covers more ground per labour-hour and is the better value despite the higher sticker price. If your floors collect dry debris rather than needing a wet scrub, price the SL1250 sweeper instead.
SS75-R Ride-On Floor Scrubber
Lowest cost-per-square-foot for large floors
Aperçu
The SS75-R lists at $5,600 CAD. The higher price over a walk-behind buys a seated ride-on platform and a wider 26-inch path, so one operator cleans large open floors that would otherwise need two people on foot. On high square footage, that labour saving is what makes it the lowest cost-per-square-foot in the range.
Points forts
The ride-on format removes the operator-fatigue ceiling that limits a walk-behind, so the machine keeps earning its cost across long shifts. The wider path covers more ground per pass, and the same single-pass scrub-and-dry action means no second labour pass to dry floors. For multi-shift sites, the lithium-ion option lowers downtime cost further.
À considérer
Acquisition cost is higher than the SS60, and a ride-on needs wider aisles and turning room to deliver its value. For floors under ~30,000 sq ft per shift the walk-behind SS60 is the more cost-effective choice. The lithium-ion battery is included in the quoted price.
Quand ne PAS choisir ce modèle
For tight-aisle or obstacle-heavy floors where the ride-on cannot manoeuvre, the cheaper SS60 walk-behind delivers more usable cleaning per dollar. For dry debris on large or outdoor floors, the SL1250 sweeper is the right spend.
SL1250 Ride-On Floor Sweeper
Ride-on sweeping for the price of a mid-range scrubber
Aperçu
The SL1250 ride-on sweeper lists at $7,000 CAD. It solves a different problem than a scrubber — collecting dry debris with a 43-inch main and side brush set rather than scrubbing with water — so its price is best judged against the labour of manual sweeping across large indoor floors and outdoor yards.
Points forts
The wide 43-inch sweeping path clears open floors and yards fast, and the ride-on platform suits long shifts on large square footage. For sites that run both formats, sweeping debris first protects the scrubber's squeegee and pads, lowering the scrubber's running cost.
À considérer
A sweeper collects dry debris only — it does not scrub or sanitize sealed floors, so it is an addition to, not a replacement for, a scrubber. It needs open turning room for the 43-inch path. If your only need is clean sealed floors, the scrubber budget (SS60 or SS75-R) is the better spend.
Quand ne PAS choisir ce modèle
Do not budget for the SL1250 if the goal is clean, dry, sanitized sealed floors — that needs a scrubber (SS60 or SS75-R). The sweeper is the right spend only when loose dry debris on large or outdoor floors is the actual problem.
What Drives the Price of a Floor Scrubber
Industrial floor scrubber prices vary with machine size, format, and battery — and the cheapest sticker price is not always the lowest cost to operate. The factors below explain what you are paying for and how to match the spend to your floor.
Cleaning Path & Machine Size
The single biggest driver of price is how much floor the machine cleans per pass. A compact 21-inch walk-behind such as the SS60 is the lowest-cost automatic scrubber; a wider ride-on with a 26-inch path or a 43-inch sweeper costs more because it covers more ground and carries a larger frame, motors, and tanks. Match the path width to your floor — paying for a ride-on you cannot manoeuvre wastes the premium.
Walk-Behind vs Ride-On
A walk-behind scrubber keeps the operator on foot and the price down — ideal up to about 30,000 sq ft per shift. A ride-on costs more up front but lets one operator cover large floors without fatigue, which lowers the cost-per-square-foot on high square footage. The crossover is roughly 30,000 sq ft per shift: below it, walk-behind wins on price; above it, ride-on wins on labour. For picks by use case, see the best floor scrubber for a Canadian warehouse.
Battery Type
Every Sumachay floor cleaner ships with a lithium-ion battery included in the listed price, so there is no battery-chemistry option to budget for. Lithium-ion charges faster than the sealed lead-acid packs used in older scrubbers, tolerates opportunity charging during breaks, and lasts longer — lower running cost is built in, not a paid upgrade. The real price drivers are cleaning path width and walk-behind versus ride-on format.
Total Cost of Ownership & Payback
Look past the sticker price to the five-year cost: machine, consumables (squeegee blades, brushes, pad drivers), battery replacement, and labour. Against manual mop-and-bucket — which caps out around 1,500 sq ft per labour-hour — an automatic scrubber such as the SS60 cleans roughly 25,000 sq ft per hour and typically pays back in 3 to 6 months of daily use. The labour saved, not the purchase price, is where the machine earns out.
Buying Direct vs Through a Dealer
Dealer-sold floor-care equipment is often bundled with sales commissions and service packages. With Sumachay you buy directly from our team at the listed CAD price, with no mandatory service contract, and freight is quoted separately by postal code. Compare the full delivered cost, including freight and any service plan, when you weigh options.
Price Summary
For most Canadian facilities, budget about $4,000 CAD for a walk-behind scrubber (SS60), $5,600 CAD for a ride-on scrubber (SS75-R), and $7,000 CAD for a ride-on sweeper (SL1250) — all in CAD, plus freight, with a 1-year warranty. Up to ~30,000 sq ft per shift the walk-behind is the most cost-effective; above that, the ride-on's labour saving makes it the lower cost-per-square-foot.
What's Included — and What's Quoted Separately
Pricing and delivery details vary by region. The following applies to your market.
Freight & Delivery Cost
Listed prices are for the equipment; freight is quoted separately by postal code because cost depends on destination, dock access, and whether a liftgate is required. Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days, and delivery times vary by destination, including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Montreal. Toronto-area customers can arrange local pickup and avoid freight entirely.
Battery & Charging Cost
Onboard chargers run on standard Canadian 110-120V outlets, so there is no electrical-upgrade cost. Lithium-ion batteries are standard on every model — faster charging and longer service life are included in the listed price, not a paid upgrade.
Warranty, Parts & Running Cost
Every machine includes a 1-year equipment warranty. Common wear parts are available from Sumachay in Canada — squeegee blades, brushes, pad drivers, batteries, chargers, and hoses — so consumables ship domestically without customs delays or import markups. Budget for squeegee blades and brushes as the main ongoing consumable cost.

FAQ: Floor Scrubber Prices
Common questions about the cost of industrial floor scrubbers and sweepers in Canada.
A compact walk-behind automatic scrubber such as the Sumachay SS60 costs about $4,000 CAD, plus freight quoted by postal code. That is the lowest-cost way to replace mop-and-bucket cleaning with an automatic scrubber. Larger ride-on scrubbers cost more — the SS75-R ride-on is about $5,600 CAD — because they cover more square footage per shift.
At Sumachay, the SS60 walk-behind scrubber is about $4,000 CAD and the SS75-R ride-on scrubber is about $5,600 CAD — roughly a $1,600 difference. The ride-on costs more up front but lets one operator clean large open floors without fatigue, so on facilities cleaning more than about 30,000 sq ft per shift it delivers a lower cost-per-square-foot despite the higher sticker price.
The listed price covers the machine in its standard configuration with brushes or pads, battery, and onboard charger, plus a 1-year equipment warranty. Freight to your facility is quoted separately by postal code because it depends on destination and dock access. Ongoing costs are consumable wear parts — squeegee blades, brushes, and pad drivers — available from Sumachay in Canada.
You buy directly from Sumachay at the listed CAD price. There is no mandatory service contract added on top of the equipment cost, and freight is quoted separately by postal code rather than bundled into the list price. Lithium-ion batteries are standard.
For daily cleaning, yes. Manual mopping caps out around 1,500 sq ft per labour-hour and leaves a slip-risk window; an automatic scrubber such as the SS60 cleans roughly 25,000 sq ft per hour and leaves floors dry behind it. For facilities cleaning daily, the labour saved typically pays back the purchase price in 3 to 6 months — after which the machine is saving money every shift.
