With the new KM 125/130 R, Kärcher
is offering a technologically high-
quality sweeper in the 125cm class.
The new development focused on
combining high user-friendliness with
efficient operation. Compared with
its predecessor, the machine unites
a number of features which have
already been successfully employed
in smaller machines. This includes
the unique rotating brush which
makes cleaning corners effortless;
extraordinary manoeuvrability;
positioning of the main sweeper roller
on the rear axis for easy maintenance
and safe crossing of floor bumps and
ramps as well as fully automated,
continuous filter cleaning using
compressed air.
A detailed look
For cleaning difficult corners, Kärcher
has developed what is known as
a rotating brush. This is mounted
between the main roller brush and the
side brush and is an optional extra.
Combined with the machine’s high
manoeuvrability, dirt can be completely
picked up from corners with one action.
The usual crescent-shaped brush will
still continue to be useful.
The roller brush positioned on the rear
axle can be removed and replaced
in a flash without using tools. Good
accessibility allows quick visual checks
and easy removal of stuck sweepings
such as wires, threads and paper. In
addition, the position of the roller brush
allows bumps to be traversed safely
and ramps to be driven up or down,
since the roller brush and sealing lips
are lifted together with the rear wheels.
This prevents the sweeper from getting
stuck. Thanks to the larger roller
diameter, the throwing height of the
sweepings is also increased, allowing
the enlarged sweeping container (130 l)
to be filled easily.
Service life
The Kärcher TACT filter cleaning
technology ensures the performance
remains consistently high.
Every 15 seconds, one of
the three flat pleated
filters is automatically
cleaned with a blast of
compressed air. This
increases the service life
of the filter and frees the
operator from the task.
With a working width
of 125cm, the area
performance
of the new KM
125/130 R is up
to 10,000m

(with one side
brush). Together with the countless
new features, this makes the machine
a universal unit for use in logistics,
as well as in the most diverse of
commercial environments such as
manufacturing, warehouses, yards,
parks and much more.
‘Kärcher Fleet’, the fleet management
system, is also available as an optional
extra for the machine. This allows close
incorporation into a larger fleet of
cleaning machines and access to the
machine data for optimised use and
maintenance.
