Kärcher Floor Scrubbers and Sweepers for Sale and Hire

Kärcher was founded in 1935 by the inventor Alfred Kärcher and remains a family-owned company headquartered in Winnenden, near Stuttgart, Germany. The cornerstone of its cleaning business was laid in 1950 with the invention of Europe's first hot water high-pressure cleaner.

We list 214 Kärcher machines. All of them are new: Kärcher is a new-supply brand for us, not a used one.

Our scrubber drier listings split by how the operator works the floor:

• Compact and push: BD 17/5 C, BD 30/4 C, BD 38/12 C, BR 30/1 C, BR 30/4 C, BR 35/12 C, BR 40/10 C, BR 45/22 C, BR 47/35. Small footprints for washrooms, kitchens, retail aisles and anywhere a ride-on cannot turn.
• Walk behind: BD 43/25 C, BD 43/35 C, BD 50/50 C, BD 50/55 W, BD 70/75 W, BD 80/100 W, B 50 W, B 60 W, BR 85/100 W. The middle ground for warehouse gangways, production floors and school halls.
• Step on: BD 50/40 RS, BR 55/40 RS. Operator stands on; faster than walking, tighter than a ride-on.
• Ride on: B 110 R, B 150 R, B 200 R, B 220 R, B 260 RI, B 300 RI, BD 50/70 R. For large open floors where the constraint is square metres per hour, not access.
• Single disk: BDS 43/150, BDS 43/400, BDS 43/Orbital, BDS Duo, BDP 50/1500 C. Scrubbing, polishing and pad work rather than continuous wash-and-dry.

Battery specification is written into the model name. Wet, AGM and lithium packs come at different amp-hour ratings on the same machine: a B 150 R with 240Ah wet cells and a B 150 R with 220Ah AGM are different buys.

We also sell used scrubber dryers from our own stock, inspected and serviced before sale.

The KM range runs from powered walk-behind sweepers up to the KM 170/600 R D Classic. Power options across the range include battery (Bp), petrol (G), LPG and diesel (D); the options available vary by model, and each listing states which. Battery models for indoor work; LPG and diesel for yards, loading aprons and mixed indoor-outdoor sites.

Separately, our hire fleet sweepers include other makes as well as Kärcher.

All the machines on our pressure washer listings are Kärcher, split into cold water (HD) and hot water (HDS):

• Cold water HD: from the HD 6/11-4 M Plus up to the HD 10/25-4 S, on mains power, petrol or diesel.
• Hot water HDS: HDS 7/10-4 M through to the HDS 18/18-4 S Classic, plus petrol and diesel-engined HDS 1000 Be and HDS 1000 De for off-grid work, and the electrically heated HDS-E 8/16-4 M in 12 kW, 24 kW and 36 kW where a burner flue is not an option.
• Specialist: the HD 10/15-4 Cage Food for food-production washdown and the HD 10/16-4 Cage Ex (ATEX) for hazardous areas.

Our vacuum listings carry Kärcher machines:

• IVR, IVS, IVM and ID industrial vacuuming and dedusting: from the IVR-B 20/8 up to the IVR-L 400/24-2 Tc, plus ID fixed dedusting units.

Model names carry the dust letters (L, M and H), and Z22 appears on the zone-marked variants such as the IVM 40/12-1 H Z22 and the IVS 100/55 M Z22.

We also list Kärcher categories for vehicle cleaning systems, dry ice cleaning, industrial vacuuming and dedusting solutions and municipal equipment. Call for availability and pricing on those categories.

We hire all machine types, cleaning machinery included. The terms are the same as the rest of the fleet:

• No minimum hire period. A machine can go out for a day. The minimum charge is one week at the weekly rate.
• If the machine does not work, you get your money back. We will also send an engineer out to fix it, and put a prop-up machine in if we judge it necessary.
• Nationwide delivery. Transport is charged separately and the fee depends on where you are. We move all machine types, and we will transport for third parties too.

All prices are quoted excluding VAT.

New Kärcher machines can be bought outright or funded. We offer lease purchase, contract hire, operating lease and outright purchase, on new and used equipment alike.

We service Kärcher machines, and we cover the country from eight depots: South East (head office, Rainham), East Anglia, East (Pinchbeck, Spalding), Midlands, West, Southern, Liverpool/North and South Coast.

• Servicing and repairs: planned maintenance and fully comprehensive contracts are both available.
• Breakdowns: we have a callout number and an engineer can come out right away where it is necessary. Callout and travel are chargeable.

Does a cleaning machine need a thorough examination?

Sometimes. It is easy to assume a cleaning machine sits outside LOLER because it is not a forklift, but that is not always the case, and we are happy to confirm where yours stands. A high-tip sweeper raises its hopper hydraulically, and scope is a machine-by-machine question.

Where an examination is needed, we are CFTS accredited, and that accreditation is current. CFTS means one thorough examination covering LOLER and PUWER together, with one report, not two visits and two certificates.

We examine machines we did not supply, and we examine lifting accessories. See LOLER and thorough examinations and our health, safety and compliance page.

Our accreditations are CFTS, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, UKMHA, SafeContractor, RTITB, JOSCAR and Cyber Essentials.

Tell us the floor area, the surface, the soil, the shift length and how much storage and charging space you have. We will come back with a machine, a hire rate or a purchase price, and a service plan. Success built on quality service.
