Tennant B5 Walk Behind Burnisher

Turn to Tennant B5 for Professional High-Gloss Floors

The Tennant B5 is a compact, high-performance walk-behind burnisher designed to deliver brilliant, high-gloss finishes in smaller and more confined spaces. Built for control, consistency, and ease of use, it’s the ideal choice for facilities that need professional floor results without the size of a ride-on machine. If you’re looking for reliable shine, simple operation, and lower upfront investment, the Tennant B5 is a practical and efficient solution.

The machine's battery-powered design reduces ongoing maintenance compared to propane models, while the integrated on-board charger makes recharging safe and simple. Its innovative burnishing head tilts and locks at 45° for easy, secure transport, and the 90-degree flip-up feature keeps pads perfectly centred for consistent, uniform results.

Tennant B5 Walk-Behind Burnisher Delivers Simple and Controlled Operation

The Tennant B5 Walk-Behind Burnisher is designed for ease of use and consistent results. After fitting the appropriate burnishing pad, simply start the machine and guide it smoothly across the floor in overlapping passes. The walk-behind format gives operators precise control, making it easy to work around fixtures, tight corridors, and confined spaces while still achieving a professional, high-gloss finish.

Operators can choose between propel and non-propel modes: propel mode allows the machine to move forward with minimal effort, reducing fatigue on longer runs, while non-propel mode gives full manual control for precise work around tight corners and obstacles. Its optional Set and Forget™ pad pressure ensures consistent, repeatable results. 

Excellent dust control and HEPA filtration eliminates the need for follow-up mopping, and an optional manual battery watering system helps extend battery life. Easy-to-understand onboard guides and clearly marked yellow maintenance touch points reduce downtime and simplify operator training.
