NaceCare TBL 2228/100T 916870 Battery Scrubber – 28", 2×NX1K, 110 lb, 3 Hr
NaceCare TBL 2228/100T 916870 – 28-Inch Dual Brush Traction Drive Battery Scrubber, 31,000 Sq Ft/Hr
The NaceCare TBL 2228/100T (part number 916870) is a 28-inch traction-drive battery scrubber with dual 14-inch brushes, two NX1K lithium phosphate batteries, and 3 hours of runtime. At 110 lbs of brush pressure, 150 RPM brush speed, 4.3 MPH traction drive, and 23-gallon solution and recovery tanks, this machine covers 31,000 square feet per hour — closing the productivity gap between large walk-behind scrubbers and full ride-on machines while maintaining walk-behind maneuverability.
TBL 2228/100T Dual Brush Performance and Productivity Specs
- 28" dual-brush cleaning path / 31,000 sq ft/hr: two 14" brushes together produce a 28" effective path — significantly wider than single-brush 20" machines at the same speed, and 40% more coverage per hour.
- 110 lb brush pressure at 150 RPM: higher downforce than most compact scrubbers (90–105 lbs), enabling the TBL 2228/100T to handle moderately heavy soil loads without separate stripping passes.
- 4.3 MPH traction drive: self-propelled at adjustable speeds up to 4.3 MPH — fast enough to reduce the time-per-pass on long aisles in warehouses and distribution centers.
- 2×NX1K lithium phosphate batteries, 3-hr runtime: supports over 4,000 charge cycles, zero maintenance, and flexible opportunity charging without capacity loss.
- 23-gal solution / 23-gal recovery tanks: high-capacity matched tanks reduce the number of refill stops on large-area cleaning runs.
- No electronics or actuator motors: simplified toggle-switch design reduces maintenance complexity and failure points, an advantage in facilities with limited in-house service capability.
High-Traffic Facility Applications for the TBL 2228/100T
The 28" path and 31,000 sq ft/hr coverage rate position the TBL 2228/100T for large retail stores, healthcare campuses, school buildings, and hospitality venues that have outgrown a 20" scrubber but do not need a full ride-on machine. The dual-brush system provides more even pressure distribution across the 28" path compared to a single large disc, which can concentrate pressure in the center and reduce cleaning effectiveness at the edges. For facility managers running overnight or multi-shift cleaning schedules, the 3-hour runtime and 5-hour recharge cycle allow one machine to complete a large facility in a single shift.
TBL 2228/100T Squeegee and Operator Interface
Tool-free squeegee blade replacement reduces the time needed for this routine maintenance task. Toggle switches for vacuum and water flow provide a simple operator interface that does not require electronic troubleshooting when settings need adjustment. The Nu-Assist app provides access to multilingual training videos and maintenance guides through a smartphone, reducing the on-site training burden for facilities with high staff turnover.
