Step-on scrubber drier
September 1st 2010 Kärcher's new BD 50/40 RS step-on
scrubber drier is said to offer the
productivity of a ride-on machine
with the simplicity and compactness
of a small walk-behind.
Following the success of the larger
BD 60/95 RS, the 50/40 uses the same
step-on operator position offering
high visibility, control and
productivity (recognised by its ISSA
Innovation Award at Interclean 2010).
The machine's tiny footprint makes
it easy to store, while the 36V
batteries offer long run times.
With a 50cm cleaning disc and 40L
clean and dirty tanks, the 50/40 is
said to be 50% more efficient than
some similar-width walk-behind
machines and has simple, intuitive
controls. The machine comes with a
choice of traditional wet-cell or Flex
anytime-charge batteries, and a
range of brush and disc pad options.
It allows accurate, safe operation
in tight or congested areas and cleans
to edges and around corners. More articles from Karcher (UK) Limited: |
