New Karcher B 300 R LP/Diesel Ride-On Sweeper Scrubber
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The B 300 R I is the machine for big, dirty industrial floors where you would otherwise run a sweeper first and a scrubber second. It sweeps into a high-dump hopper and scrubs and dries behind in the same pass, with 79-gallon tanks and a Kubota engine that keeps running as long as there is fuel on board.
Fuel is the main choice. Pick LPG if your site already runs propane forklifts and has cylinders on hand. Pick diesel if that is what your yard and equipment run on. Kärcher lists the diesel louder at the operator seat, 92 dBA against 87 for LPG. Then decide on the extras. The left side brush takes the sweep path from 55 to 69 inches, which helps along racking and walls. The tall overhead guard adds protection where something could fall, but check door and dock heights first, because it brings the machine to about 84 inches tall.”
A combustion-powered ride-on sweeper-scrubber that sweeps, scrubs and dries in one pass
The Kärcher B 300 R I is an industrial ride-on sweeper-scrubber with a Kubota LPG or diesel engine. It sweeps and scrubs at the same time with two 41-inch main roller brushes and a right side brush, and a hydraulic high-dump debris container empties at height so the operator stays away from the dust. It is built on a heavy-duty steel frame for large warehouses, manufacturing plants, logistics centers and other big concrete floors where one machine has to handle both dry debris and wet scrubbing. Sweeping and scrubbing can also run separately, and the 79-gallon tanks keep refill stops to a minimum.

"+ LB" adds the left side brush, which widens the sweep path from 55 to 69 inches (9.841-431.0, -432.0, -460.0, -461.0). "+ OHG" adds a tall overhead guard and raises overall height to about 84 inches (9.841-432.0, -433.0, -461.0, -462.0).
Features:
- Sweeps, scrubs and dries in one pass, or runs sweeping and scrubbing separately

- Standard working lights and flashing beacon, with a prefilter to extend suction turbine life
