Scrubber dryer hire

Walk-behind, step-on and ride-on scrubber dryers

A scrubber dryer puts down water and detergent, scrubs, then lifts the dirty water straight back off so the floor is walkable again in minutes.

Sweeper hire

Walk-behind and ride-on sweepers

Which machine

Scrubber, sweeper or both

Scrubber, sweeper or both

A sweeper picks up dry debris, grit and litter. A scrubber dryer puts down water and detergent, scrubs, then lifts the dirty water straight back off.

  • Loose debris: sweep
  • Ground-in dirt: scrub
  • Both: sweep first and scrub second, or use a combined machine

Walk-behind or ride-on

Area and obstruction density decide it.

  • Walk-behind for tighter spaces, aisles and areas broken up by racking or fittings
  • Ride-on once the open floor is large enough that walking it becomes the limiting factor

Battery run time matters as much as deck width: a machine that has to stop and recharge halfway through a shift is not covering the area you sized it for. Not sure which your floor needs? .

Hire terms

How cleaning machine hire works

Hire terms
Minimum hire periodNone. A machine can be hired for a day.
Minimum chargeOne week at the weekly rate.
IncludedEverything needed for the job, and a basic handover and familiarisation with every delivery.
ContractNone on a short term hire. Extend the hire if the job runs on.
If a machine stopsYou get your money back, and we send an engineer out to fix it.
DeliveryNationwide from eight depots, on our own transport. Transport is charged separately and depends on where you are.
Longer termLease purchase, contract hire or operating lease, on new and used machines. See leasing and contract hire.

If a hire runs on and starts to look permanent, we will say so, because past a certain number of months a longer agreement or buying is usually cheaper.

We supply, hire and service Kärcher floor scrubbers and sweepers. Already run your own machines? We also provide servicing and repairs. For autonomous machines, see robotic floor cleaning.

Cleaning equipment hire: common questions

Yes. There is no minimum hire period, so a machine can be hired for a single day. The minimum charge is one week at the weekly rate, so a one day hire and a five day hire cost the same.

Everything needed for the job, and a basic handover and familiarisation with every delivery. If a hired machine stops working, you get your money back and we send an engineer out to fix it.

It depends on the machine and how long you need it. Tell us the floor area, the surface and the length of the job and we will confirm a weekly rate before anything is booked. Transport is charged separately and depends on where you are.

Yes. We hire industrial vacuums, not retail or domestic machines. Tell us what you are collecting, whether dry dust, liquids or fine dust, and we will match the machine and quote.

Yes, nationwide from eight depots on our own transport. Transport is charged separately and depends on where you are. If we have the machine and a driver is free, we can deliver the next day.

Yes. Lease purchase, contract hire and operating lease are available on new and used machines, and every machine can also be bought outright. See leasing and contract hire.

Sometimes. A high-tip sweeper raises its hopper hydraulically, so whether LOLER applies is a machine-by-machine question, and we are happy to confirm where yours stands. Where an examination is needed, we are CFTS accredited, which means one thorough examination covering LOLER and PUWER together, with one report.

Kärcher is our main cleaning machinery brand, and we hire its scrubber dryers, sweepers and industrial vacuums. Used Hako machines are also available from stock.
