When it comes to choosing professional floor cleaning machines, there’s one factor that often gets overlooked: the person using it. Power and performance are important, of course—but for cleaning teams operating machines for hours a day, comfort is everything.
That’s exactly why the Ghibli & Wirbel Ergoline Double Speed Single Disc 17″ 154–308rpm SB 143 TSN is a stand-out choice for contractors, facilities managers, and in-house cleaning teams. It doesn’t just get the job done—it makes the job more sustainable for the people doing it.
Built Around the Operator
Ergonomics isn’t just a design trend—it’s a response to real-world feedback from cleaning professionals. The SB 143 TSN features Ghibli & Wirbel’s latest Ergoline handle system, offering a height-adjustable, easy-grip control layout that reduces fatigue, supports better posture, and makes the machine easier to guide across large or awkward spaces.
In a job where repetitive movements and long hours are the norm, this attention to design pays dividends. Less strain on wrists and shoulders. More comfort. Better results. Happier staff.
Comfort That Pays Off
The benefits of ergonomic cleaning equipment go far beyond the operator. For cleaning contractors, it means teams can work longer and more efficiently without discomfort. For facilities managers, it reduces injuries and downtime. And for in-house teams in places like hospitals, schools, or retail sites, it means a faster, more confident clean—without the risk of burnout.
The SB 143 TSN weighs in at 41.5kg—providing the right amount of pressure for effective scrubbing and polishing, but with a balanced design that never feels heavy or awkward. The low vibration operation helps minimise fatigue over long sessions, while the planetary gear transmission keeps things smooth and near-silent. Quiet, Controlled and Capable
Another major benefit? It runs at just 54 dB(A). That makes it an ideal choice for environments where disruption needs to be kept to a minimum—think NHS sites, university corridors, or five-star hotel lobbies. You can clean while patients rest, meetings take place, or shoppers browse—without drawing attention.
Meanwhile, the dual-speed motor (154 / 308 RPM) makes the SB 143 TSN versatile enough to scrub, polish and maintain various hard floor surfaces, from stone to vinyl. It’s one of the few floor cleaning machines that offers real multi-purpose functionality without compromising on user experience.
