New Karcher KM 170/600 R D Classic 53" Rider Sweeper
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The KM 170/600 R D Classic is an industrial ride-on sweeper for heavy, dirty work: foundries, building materials and metalworking plants, construction sites and large yards or warehouses. It sweeps a 53 in path with the main broom and 67 in with the standard side broom, and it lifts and dumps a 158 gal hopper hydraulically from up to 60 in.
What stands out is how it handles fine dust along with coarse debris. It is a direct-throw sweeper with a floating main broom, and its two flat pleated filters clean themselves automatically every 10 minutes, which helps in heavy dust and extends filter life. The 24.8 hp Kubota diesel meets EPA Tier 4 Final, the drive is fully hydraulic, and the main broom and filters change without tools.
Keep in mind it is built for outdoor and heavy industrial use; it runs at 82 dB(A) on diesel, so it is not meant for occupied indoor spaces. The base machine has no overhead guard or cab, which are factory-installed options, so specify those up front if your site requires them.”
