Ride-on scrubber turns tightly

The product is suitable for working in tight spaces, with a short wheelbase enabling it to make a complete U-turn in aisles as narrow as 1.79m. This means it can work in areas that typically would need a walk-behind scrubber.

Sylvie Giangolini, Hako sales director, explains: “The market for more compact ride-on cleaning equipment is becoming increasingly important. With the launch of the B75 R, customers looking for a professional cleaning solution for tight spaces and smaller floor areas can count on the same levels of innovation, reliability and performance associated with our larger machines.”

Standard features include an integrated on-board charger with an easy-access mains lead and a large digital display showing run-time hours, battery charge and fault code data. On-board diagnostics can be accessed via the Hako Engineer software or by a diagnostic wiring lead, while the machine’s competitive 90- to 110-minute run time is possible with four 180 A/h maintenance-free gel batteries.

Firsts for this class of machine – which has a 75-litre capacity solution and recovery tanks – include a foot-operated brush discharge system.

Further features include:

• Inclusion of a screw-in cap to the recovery tank cover to enable easy removal of any debris, coupled with an easy-access, obstruction-free design facilitating easy cleaning.

• Live water-filter cleaning to allow the filter to be cleaned without having to drain the tank.

• A two-speed travel-to-work mode.

• A visual gauge showing brush or pad wear.

An extensive range of optional ‘extras’ are also available, including automatic filling, automatic chemical dosing, a wet spray pick-up tool and a stainless steel recovery tank debris tray for use in heavily soiled environments, and a washdown pump. The machine can also be specified with a slightly wider, 86cm squeegee.
