When to Use the Nilfisk SC6500 1100D, 1100C, 1300D or 1300C
Nilfisk SC6500 1100D
Use the 1100D when you need powerful scrubbing on smooth, hard floors with consistent heavy soil and moderate debris. The disc brush configuration delivers strong surface contact and aggressive cleaning, making it ideal for large warehouses, manufacturing halls, and logistics centres with flat concrete or tiled surfaces.
Nilfisk SC6500 1100C
The 1100C features a cylindrical brush deck and is best for environments with mixed debris types, dust, and uneven flooring. It combines scrubbing and sweeping performance, so it’s perfect for busy industrial spaces, large distribution centres, and facilities where both fine dust and light debris are present.
Nilfisk SC6500 1300D
Choose the 1300D when you require maximum cleaning width on smooth floors with heavier soil load. Its extra‑wide disc deck enables higher productivity across very large areas like logistics hubs or big‑box retailers, while still delivering aggressive scrubbing power on flat surfaces.
Nilfisk SC6500 1300C
The 1300C is ideal for the largest industrial spaces needing wide coverage with advanced debris handling. Its wide cylindrical deck excels at picking up dust and mixed debris across expansive facilities, such as aviation hangars, major distribution centres, and high‑traffic manufacturing zone
