Robotic Floor Scrubbers and Cleaning Robots

Robotic floor scrubbers and cleaning robots do the repetitive part of floor cleaning on their own: the same large floor, the same route, every night. The cleaning team teaches the route once, the robot repeats it with the same result every time, and people concentrate on the edges, spills and jobs a machine cannot do.

As an authorised Kärcher dealer, we supply the KIRA range for sale and hire, set it up on site and service it with our own engineers, alongside the Kärcher professional range and the forklifts that make most of the mess.

The KIRA range

KIRA B 50 robotic scrubber dryer

A scrubber dryer for medium to large areas that can be driven like a normal walk-behind machine or left to clean on its own. It scrubs and dries in one pass, finds its way with laser sensors and cleans right to the edges of its route.

KIRA B 200 large area scrubber dryer robot

For large floors such as warehouses, distribution centres and factories, where a robot working through the night covers the area a ride-on machine and an operator would otherwise take a shift to do.

KIRA CV robotic vacuums

Commercial vacuum robots, the KIRA CV 50 and KIRA CV 60/1, for carpeted offices, corridors and hospitality areas.

How it works

  1. Teach the route. An operator drives or guides the machine round the area once, and it records the route and the settings.
  2. Schedule it. The robot runs the route when the area is quiet, often overnight or before the first shift.
  3. Check the report. What was cleaned, when, and anything that stopped it, so the result is recorded rather than assumed.

Laser and sensor systems stop the robot for people and obstacles and route it round them where it can, so it can work in areas that are in use.

Tell us the floor area, the surface and when it is free to clean. We will tell you whether a robot is worth it and which one.

Where a cleaning robot pays

  • Large open floors cleaned on a regular schedule: warehouses, distribution centres, factories, retail and transport hubs.
  • Sites that struggle to staff night or early cleaning.
  • Floors where the standard has to be consistent and recorded, such as food, pharmaceutical and customer facing areas.

It suits less well where the floor is cluttered, changes every day, or is small enough that a person with a compact machine is quicker. A robot does not replace the cleaning team; it takes the repetitive hours off them.

Warehouse floors

A clean floor matters for more than appearance on a site with forklifts: dust and debris wear tyres and wheels, spills cause skids, and poor floors damage loads. See why warehouse floors matter more than you think, and warehouse automation for automating the rest of the site.

Robotic floor cleaning: common questions

A scrubber dryer that cleans a floor on its own. The route is taught once, then the machine repeats it on a schedule, scrubbing and drying in one pass and stopping or steering round people and obstacles.

The KIRA B 50 can: it works as a walk-behind machine when you need to clean somewhere off its route, and autonomously when you do not.

Its sensors stop it for people and obstacles and route it round them where possible, so it can work in areas in use. Most sites still schedule it for quiet periods because it cleans faster and more completely on a clear floor.

No. It takes over the repetitive hours on large open floors, so the cleaning team can concentrate on edges, spills, washrooms and the jobs a machine cannot do.

Yes. KIRA machines are available to buy or hire, which is a sensible way to prove the result on your floor before committing.

More than the manual machine it is based on, and the case rests on the operator hours it frees each week. Tell us the area and how often it is cleaned and we will price buying and hiring.
