Floor Scrubber Brush

Floor scrubber brush listings differ mainly by make, width and bristle material. There are 470 of them on this page, covering main scrubbing brushes, side brooms, sweeper brushes and the small motor brushes that sit inside electric motors.

Tennant and Advance account for most of the range. The sections below separate the kinds of brush, show how the brands differ and explain how to match what you're holding. The wider squeegee, pad and brush group sits on the scrubber brush and squeegee page, which is the parent of this one.

Floor Scrubber Brush Widths and Bristle Types

About 190 of the 470 listings write a width into the title. The sizes that recur most often are 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 inches. Listings for larger decks go well past that, such as "TENNANT 222312, BRUSH - 36",18 SINGLE ROW, .050 GRIT" and "FOR TENNANT BRUSH-48 IN 24 SR POLY 1033375". Some listings give the size as a pair of dimensions instead, like the "FOR TENNANT 1053893, POLY SCRUB BRUSH, 35" X 8", 20 SINGLE ROW".

Next is the bristle. Poly appears in about 75 listings and nylon in about 30, and about 40 mention grit, as in "FOR Advance 56505233 BRUSH 12 INCH .050/80 GRIT". A number such as .028 turns up in about 50 listings, usually just before the material, as in "for Minuteman BRUSH - 14 IN .028 NYLON 3313135". When two brushes share a width, the number and material in the title can set them apart. A few listings say "STIFF" or "MIDGRIT" as well.

Main Brushes, Side Brooms and Holders

Not every listing is the big cylinder or disc under the machine. The listing "for Tennant 1016265, Main Brush" is the main scrubbing brush, while 23 listings use the word broom, 8 say sweeper (some use both words), and 5 are side brushes. Some of the brooms are for other brands of machine, for example "842414T Broom for Malish Brush".

There are 12 listings that name a holder rather than a brush, and one more is an adapter: "FOR TENNANT 47501, ADAPTER - HUB BRUSH 1.00B". If you're replacing the part that the brush mounts to, add "holder" or "adapter" to your search.

Motor Brushes Mixed In With Scrubber Brushes

The same word names a different part inside an electric motor, and that's why this page also holds about 70 listings that mention a motor, most of them motor brushes, sets and brush springs. Many are worded as sets, with a count: "for MEC 2587027, BRUSH - MOTOR SET OF 4", "FOR Advance 56412325 BRUSH - MOTOR SET OF 6 W/HARDWARE" and "FOR Bobcat Skid Steer Motor Brush Set of 2 - 1 Pair - 992884". Eight are labeled as singles. Others combine the brushes with springs, such as "128091 BRUSH & SPRING KIT FOR CROWN WP 2300" and "for JLG 7016748, Brush and Spring Kit, For Electric Pump Motor".

The makes named include JLG, Skyjack, EZ-GO, Yale and Bobcat as well as scrubber brands. For the motors themselves, the forklift electric motor page has about 555 listings, and the forklift hydraulic pump page covers the pumps, with about 1,145. Spring-loaded kits can also be found with the forklift springs group.

Floor Scrubber Brush Listings by Brand

Tennant is the largest, with about 180 brush listings, followed by Advance with about 95. Genie comes third at about 40, with model codes such as GR-15, GR-20 and GS-2032 in the listings. After that come Powerboss at about 20, Clarke at about 20, and Crown at about 18, including motor sets worded like "FOR CROWN LIFT TRUCK 1.0 RCTL BRUSH - MOTOR SET OF 4".

Smaller groups come from American Lincoln with 15, Minuteman with 14, Taylor Dunn and JLG with 8 each, then Yale, Factory Cat and Malish with 7 each. A few listings name a second maker alongside the first: four Tennant brushes that also say Castex Nobles and one Advance brush that also names Nilfisk. Some numbers show up under two makes instead: 56505233 appears under both Advance and American Lincoln, so a search on it returns both.

Finding the Number Printed on a Brush

Nearly all Tennant brush numbers have five to seven digits, for example 30241, 80058 and 1016265. Advance brush numbers are usually eight digits that start with 56, such as 56505801 and 56412325, while Clarke uses a mix of forms and only a few of its numbers start with 56. Factory Cat, Taylor Dunn and Clarke are among the makes with a dashed format, like "15-421C BRUSH - 14 IN .035/180 GRIT". About 35 of the 470 carry a dashed number, so most listings do not use a dashed number.

If the old number is unreadable, search the machine make and width together, then compare the bristle material. If the listing mentions a plate, lugs or hardware, you'll see it written out, for instance "Brush For Tennant 6' .028 Poly With Plate".

Questions About Brush Orders

Whether you run a repair shop, manage a fleet, work a rental yard or own the machine yourself, brush orders go out from our warehouse to addresses across the United States. If you can't tell which listing matches your old brush, phone (708) 507-0707 any weekday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Central and have the width, material and any number ready.

How do I tell a main brush from a side broom?

The listing says it. Only 5 listings use the word main, so the plain scrubbing brushes are listed simply as "Brush" with the make, and sometimes a width. Side brushes use the word side and sweeping brooms use the word broom. There are 5 side brushes and 23 listings that use the word broom, so a search on "side" or "broom" plus the make narrows the list.

Do brush listings come with the plate or hardware?

Some do. Look for wording such as "With Plate", "W/ Lugs" or "W/HARDWARE" in the listing. When it says nothing, the listing does not mention them.

Can I search by machine model instead of part number?

Sometimes. Models that appear in these listings include the Genie GR-15, GR-20, GS-1530 and GS-2032, the Crown WP 2300, and the Yale MPB040E and MPW045E. For the floor scrubber makes, try the make and the width.

What is the difference between a brush set and a single brush?

A set is sold as a group, and sets of 2, 4 and 6 all appear in the listings, for example "BRUSH - MOTOR SET OF 4" and "BRUSH - MOTOR SET OF 6". A scrubber brush listing, by contrast, often gives a width and sometimes a material, and is a single brush unless it says otherwise.
