The Karcher KM 100/100 R P Ride-On Floor and Vacuum Sweeper is a high-performance petrol-powered commercial and industrial sweeper designed for fast, efficient cleaning of large indoor and outdoor hard-surface areas.

Featuring a 700 mm floating main sweeping roller and 1000 mm working width with one side brush, the KM 100/100 R P delivers an impressive surface area performance of up to 8,000 m²/h.

With an optional second side brush, the total working width increases to 1300 mm, boosting productivity to up to 10,400 m²/h for rapid cleaning of large warehouses, car parks, factories, logistics facilities and commercial sites.

Powered by a robust 6.7 kW four-stroke petrol engine, this professional Karcher ride-on sweeper combines strong sweeping performance, powerful dust extraction and excellent operator efficiency for demanding large-area cleaning applications.

Up to 10,400 m²/h Large-Area Sweeping Performance

The major advantage of the Karcher KM 100/100 R P is its ability to clean substantial floor areas quickly.

In standard configuration with one side brush, the machine provides a 1000 mm working width and up to 8,000 m²/h surface area performance.

Adding the optional second side brush increases the total sweeping width to 1300 mm and maximum productivity to 10,400 m²/h.

For large warehouses, car parks, factories and industrial facilities, this level of productivity can significantly reduce the labour time required for routine sweeping compared with walk-behind equipment.

Petrol Power for Independent Operation

The KM 100/100 R P is powered by a 6.7 kW four-stroke petrol engine, providing independent operation without reliance on battery charging or electrical infrastructure.

This makes the petrol configuration particularly well suited to outdoor areas, large car parks, industrial yards, loading areas and facilities requiring extended or flexible sweeping operations.

The engine powers a hydraulic system that drives the main sweeping roller and side brush, providing reliable professional performance across demanding cleaning applications.

Professional Ride-On Sweeping

Moving from a walk-behind sweeper to a ride-on machine can provide a significant productivity advantage when cleaning larger areas.

The operator remains seated while controlling machine travel and sweeping functions, reducing the physical demands associated with walking behind cleaning equipment over long distances.

With a maximum working speed of 8 km/h, the KM 100/100 R P can efficiently cover large open areas while retaining the manoeuvrability required around buildings, vehicles and other site infrastructure.

6 m² Professional Dust Filtration

The KM 100/100 R P incorporates a large 6 m² polyester round filter for effective dust control during commercial and industrial sweeping.

The generous filter surface area allows the machine to maintain strong airflow while capturing fine dust, supporting low-dust operation across long cleaning periods.

An automatic filter cleaning system activates when the machine is switched off, helping remove accumulated dust and maintain filtration performance.

Additional manual filter cleaning is available when required, while the filter itself can be replaced without tools for straightforward servicing.

Powerful Sweeping and Vacuum System

The professional overthrow sweeping principle provides strong dirt and debris collection by transferring swept material efficiently into the waste containers.

Combined with the machine's vacuum system, this allows the KM 100/100 R P to collect fine dust, general dirt and larger loose debris across demanding commercial and industrial environments.

The sweeping and vacuum functions can be selected as required, while suction volume regulation provides greater flexibility across changing surface conditions.

Floating Main Roller for Uneven Surfaces

The 700 mm floating main sweeping roller automatically follows variations in the floor surface.

This allows the brush to maintain effective contact across uneven concrete, paved areas and other surfaces without requiring constant manual adjustment.

For industrial sites, older warehouses, car parks and outdoor paved areas where the surface may contain bumps and dips, the floating roller helps provide more consistent sweeping results.

Coarse Dirt Flap for Bulky Debris

Industrial and outdoor sweeping frequently involves more than fine dust.

The integrated coarse dirt flap allows the KM 100/100 R P to collect larger debris such as leaves, gravel, cans and other bulky loose material.

This provides greater versatility across car parks, loading areas, industrial yards and warehouses where different types of debris may need to be collected during the same cleaning operation.

100 L Dual Waste Container System

The KM 100/100 R P provides a generous 100 litre total waste capacity through two separate 50 litre side-removable containers.

Rather than handling one extremely large and heavy container, the twin-container design divides the collected debris between two manageable bins.

Both containers can be accessed from the side of the machine for straightforward removal and emptying, helping operators dispose of collected material efficiently.

Single-Pedal Forward and Reverse Control

Machine travel is controlled through a practical single-pedal system for forward and reverse movement.

This allows the operator to quickly change direction without complicated controls, making the sweeper easier to manoeuvre around obstacles and within busy commercial environments.

The simple control layout also reduces operator training requirements and makes the machine straightforward for different staff members to use.

Built for Ramps and Uneven Ground

With a climbing capacity of up to 18%, the KM 100/100 R P is capable of negotiating suitable gradients and ramps commonly encountered around multi-level car parks, warehouses, loading areas and industrial facilities.

Pneumatic wheels provide smoother travel across uneven ground and help improve operator comfort during longer cleaning periods.

A robust impact protection bumper also helps protect both the machine and surrounding infrastructure from accidental contact.

Operator Safety and Control

The KM 100/100 R P incorporates several features designed to support safe professional operation.

An automatic vacuum parking brake helps secure the machine when stationary, while the petrol engine automatically shuts off if the operator leaves the seat.

The main sweeping roller and side brush can be raised or lowered using a switch, keeping important sweeping functions within easy reach of the operator.

An integrated hour counter records machine operating time, helping businesses schedule preventative servicing and routine maintenance.

Easy Maintenance and Reduced Downtime

Routine maintenance has been designed to be straightforward.

Both the main sweeping roller and dust filter can be removed without tools, allowing common wear components to be inspected and replaced quickly.

Easy access to service components, combined with automatic and manual filter cleaning, helps minimise maintenance time and keep the machine available for everyday cleaning.

Ideal Applications

The Karcher KM 100/100 R P is ideal for:

• Large warehouses
• Distribution centres
• Logistics facilities
• Factory and production floors
• Manufacturing facilities
• Industrial sites
• Large car parks
• Multi-level parking facilities
• Outdoor paved areas
• Loading docks and loading areas
• Mechanical and automotive workshops
• Retail centres
• Shopping facilities
• Schools and educational facilities
• Service stations
• Public buildings
• Council and municipal facilities
• Building service contractors
• Facility management
• Professional commercial and industrial cleaning

Its combination of up to 10,400 m²/h productivity, 1300 mm maximum working width, 100 litre waste capacity, 6 m² dust filtration and petrol-powered ride-on operation makes it an excellent solution for businesses needing to clean substantial areas efficiently.

A Major Step Up in Large-Area Productivity

The KM 100/100 R P represents a significant step up from professional walk-behind sweepers.

Where walk-behind machines are excellent for smaller and medium-sized facilities or areas with tighter access, a ride-on sweeper becomes increasingly valuable as cleaning areas grow.

With a maximum cleaning performance of 10,400 m²/h, an 8 km/h operating speed and 100 litre debris capacity, the KM 100/100 R P is designed to reduce the time and labour required to maintain large commercial and industrial areas.

Its petrol engine also makes it particularly attractive for outdoor and mixed-environment applications where extended operation and independence from battery charging are priorities.
