At 508 pounds and 26.18 inches wide, it accesses corridors, multi-room layouts, and aisle configurations that the heavier, wider Cat® C40R cannot navigate. A detachable cast aluminum squeegee with rear-mounted onboard storage hooks removes in seconds for room transitions, then reattaches for uninterrupted scrubbing — a practical feature for facilities with a mix of open floors and connected rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 12-volt, 305 Ah batteries provide extended runtime across large cleaning assignments, and 23-gallon solution and 26-gallon recovery tanks reduce service interruptions per shift. Safety systems include a pressure-sensitive seat that shuts the machine off automatically when the operator dismounts, a seatbelt, a blue warning light to alert pedestrians, bright LED headlights, and a non-slip diamond tread platform. Cup holder, phone pocket, and USB charger ensure the operator has everything needed for a full shift. Cat® ships the C26R fully assembled and ready for first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable

At 508 lbs and 26.18 inches wide, it navigates standard aisles and multi-room layouts that the 40.2-inch wide, 1,056-pound C40R cannot access. Its detachable squeegee stores on onboard hooks between rooms — a feature the C40R does not offer. For large open-bay facilities without access constraints, the C40R's higher throughput justifies its price premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the pressure-sensitive seat on the Cat® C26R do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pressure-sensitive seat is a safety interlock that shuts the machine off automatically when the operator leaves the seat during operation. On a ride-on scrubber running at up to several miles per hour with heavy rotating brush assemblies and a water dispensing system, an unoccupied machine in motion presents a serious safety hazard. When the operator stands or dismounts — intentionally or as a result of a collision or slip — the pressure-sensitive seat cuts drive power immediately, stopping the machine without requiring the operator to reach a separate control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Cat® C26R's detachable squeegee help in multi-room facilities?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fixed squeegee extending behind the machine would catch on doorframes and make the C26R awkward through standard commercial doorways. Removing the detachable squeegee takes seconds; it stores on the rear-mounted onboard hooks. With it stowed, the machine navigates room-to-room, then the operator reattaches and resumes scrubbing — all without dismounting or fetching attachments stored elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Cat® C26R and the Cat® C20T in terms of cleaning output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are battery-powered Cat® scrubbers, but they differ in form factor and throughput. The C20T is a walk-behind traction drive covering 20 inches at 27,448 sq ft\/hr — the operator walks and guides direction. The C26R is a seated ride-on covering 26 inches at 37,600 sq ft\/hr. For equivalent cleaning time, the C26R covers approximately 37 percent more floor area and eliminates operator walking entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCat® Ride-On Scrubber Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Cat® ride-on floor scrubber family at LabSupplies.com, the C26R provides the entry point into ride-on cleaning at $9,999, covering 37,600 square feet per hour in a 26-inch path. For maximum open-floor throughput, the Cat® C40R covers 73,518 square feet per hour on a 40-inch path. For walk-behind applications, the Cat® C20T and C20E cover 20-inch paths.
