Powr-Flite PS530 20 inch Self-Propelled Walk-Behind Auto Scrubber (Lead-Acid)
$4,499.00
20-inch self-propelled walk-behind auto scrubber with powered forward and reverse. Ships complete with 24V lead-acid batteries, off-board charger, pad driver, pad, and brush. 14.5 and 16 gallon tanks, up to 20,000 sq ft per hour.
The Powr-Flite PS530 is a 20-inch walk-behind automatic floor scrubber with a true self-propelled traction drive — forward and reverse under power — for cleaning large hard-floor areas with the least operator fatigue. It ships complete and ready to run with 24-volt lead-acid batteries, an off-board charger, pad driver, pad, scrub brush, and tool kit, and covers up to 20,000 square feet per hour.
The self-propelled transaxle is what separates the PS530 from the brush-assist PS460: instead of the brush merely helping pull the machine, a dedicated drive powers it forward and in reverse at a controlled speed, so operators can clean big warehouse, hospital, and school floors for a full shift without wearing out. That extra drive lifts productivity to 20,000 square feet per hour, the highest of any walk-behind in this lineup. It shares the 20-inch path, 32-inch squeegee, 14.5-gallon solution and 16-gallon recovery tanks, and roughly 3-hour battery runtime with the PS460, and runs at a quiet 67 dBA for daytime use. Powr-Flite ships it so one person can unbox and set it up with little effort, and backs it with a 2-year parts and 1-year labor warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Powr-Flite PS530 and PS460?
Both are 20-inch walk-behind scrubbers with the same tanks, squeegee, and battery runtime. The PS530 (part# PS530-W22-UC) has a self-propelled traction drive with powered forward and reverse and cleans up to 20,000 sq ft/hr; the PS460 uses brush-assist (the brush helps pull it) and cleans 14,988 sq ft/hr. Choose the PS530 for the largest areas and least fatigue.
Is the Powr-Flite PS530 self-propelled?
Yes. The PS530 has a dedicated traction drive that powers the machine forward and in reverse, unlike brush-assist models where the brush provides only light forward pull. This makes it the easiest 20-inch walk-behind in the lineup to run over large areas for a full shift.
Does the PS530 include batteries and a charger?
Yes. The PS530 ships complete and ready to run with 24-volt lead-acid batteries, an off-board charger, pad driver, pad, scrub brush, and tool kit included. One person can unbox and set it up with very little effort.
