The Karcher KM 70/15 C Classic is a lightweight and compact manual floor sweeper designed to make everyday sweeping of smaller commercial areas faster and easier than using a traditional broom.

With a 480 mm main sweeper roller, 700 mm total working width with the side brush and up to 2,800 m²/h area performance, the KM 70/15 C Classic provides an efficient solution for collecting loose dirt and debris from indoor and outdoor hard surfaces.

At only approximately 13.5 kg, the machine is easy to push, manoeuvre, transport and store. With no battery, electricity or fuel required, it is always ready to use.

For workshops, warehouses, retail stores, garages, commercial buildings, pathways and other areas from approximately 100 m² upwards, the KM 70/15 C Classic provides a simple professional alternative to sweeping by hand.

Up to 2,800 m²/h Sweeping Performance

The Karcher KM 70/15 C Classic provides a maximum theoretical area performance of up to 2,800 m²/h.

Compared with sweeping larger areas using a conventional broom, the 700 mm total working width allows significantly more floor area to be covered with each pass.

Karcher recommends the machine as an efficient sweeping solution for areas from approximately 100 m² and above, making it particularly suitable for smaller commercial and light industrial environments.

700 mm Working Width with Side Brush

The main sweeper roller provides a 480 mm working width, while the addition of the side brush increases the total sweeping width to 700 mm.

The main roller collects dirt and debris across the primary cleaning path, while the side brush reaches into edges, corners and along walls before directing debris towards the main sweeping system.

This provides more complete floor coverage without requiring extensive follow-up sweeping with a hand broom.

Manual Sweeping with No Battery or Power Required

The KM 70/15 C Classic is completely manually operated.

There is no battery to charge, no power cable to manage and no petrol engine to maintain.

The main sweeper roller is mechanically driven by the transport wheel as the operator pushes the machine forward.

This straightforward design makes the KM 70/15 C Classic particularly practical for businesses wanting a professional floor sweeper that can simply be taken out and used whenever required.

A Faster Alternative to the Traditional Broom

The KM 70/15 C Classic is an excellent step up for businesses still sweeping workshops, warehouses, garages or commercial areas by hand.

Instead of relying on a narrow broom for larger floor areas, the operator can cover up to 700 mm in a single pass while the rotating sweeper system collects debris directly into the integrated waste container.

This can make routine sweeping of larger floor areas substantially quicker and more convenient.

Mechanical Main Sweeper Roller Drive

The main sweeper roller is driven mechanically by the machine's transport wheel.

As the operator pushes the KM 70/15 C Classic, the roller rotates and transfers dirt and debris into the waste container.

The mechanical drive system provides a consistent sweeping action without requiring an electric motor or battery system.

This also contributes to the machine's low maintenance requirements and simple everyday operation.

Adjustable Side Brush for Edges and Corners

The side brush is designed to sweep dirt away from walls, edges and corners and direct it into the path of the main sweeper roller.

Its contact pressure can be adjusted to suit different surfaces and compensate for brush wear.

When cleaning larger open areas where edge sweeping is not required, the side brush can be folded upwards.

This helps reduce unnecessary brush wear and can also minimise unwanted dust dispersion during open-area sweeping.

Tool-Free Side Brush Replacement

The side brush can be changed without tools.

This simplifies routine maintenance and allows worn brushes to be replaced quickly without taking the machine out of service for unnecessary workshop time.

Combined with its simple mechanical design, the KM 70/15 C Classic requires very little ongoing maintenance.

32 L Gross Waste Container

The sweeper incorporates a 32 litre gross waste container with approximately 15 litres usable capacity.

Collected dirt and debris is deposited directly into the container during sweeping.

Once full, the container can be removed quickly using its ergonomic handle and emptied without complicated mechanisms or tools.

Self-Supporting Waste Container

The front of the waste container has been designed so that it can be placed in an upright, self-supporting position when removed from the machine.

This small practical feature makes handling and emptying the container easier and reduces the chance of collected material spilling while the container is being moved.

Lightweight at Only 13.5 kg

At approximately 13.5 kg including accessories, the KM 70/15 C Classic is extremely lightweight for a professional commercial floor sweeper.

Low rolling resistance also means very little effort is required to push the machine across suitable surfaces.

Its low weight makes it easy to manoeuvre through smaller spaces and easier to transport between separate cleaning areas.

Height-Adjustable Folding Push Handle

The push handle can be adjusted to suit the operator's height, helping provide a more comfortable working position during longer sweeping tasks.

When the machine is no longer required, the handle can be folded completely down.

This significantly reduces the storage space required and makes the sweeper practical for workshops, storerooms and service vehicles where available space may be limited.

Indoor and Outdoor Sweeping

The Karcher KM 70/15 C Classic is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hard-surface cleaning.

Typical areas include:

• Workshop floors
• Warehouse floors
• Garages
• Retail areas
• Showrooms
• Storage areas
• Building entrances
• Footpaths
• Courtyards
• Paved areas
• Small car parks
• Service areas

This versatility makes it a useful general-purpose sweeper for businesses that need one simple machine for multiple cleaning areas.

Ideal for Workshops and Warehouses

The KM 70/15 C Classic is particularly well suited to smaller workshops, warehouses and industrial work areas where loose dirt and debris regularly accumulate.

Rather than repeatedly using a broom and dustpan, operators can sweep a much wider cleaning path while collecting debris directly into the integrated waste container.

Its manual design also means the machine can remain stored in the workshop and be used immediately whenever required.

Ideal Applications

The Karcher KM 70/15 C Classic is ideal for:

• Workshops
• Warehouses
• Small factories
• Garages
• Automotive workshops
• Service centres
• Retail stores
• Showrooms
• Schools
• Commercial buildings
• Storage facilities
• Building entrances
• Footpaths
• Courtyards
• Paved outdoor areas
• Small car parks
• Facility maintenance
• General indoor and outdoor sweeping

Its combination of 700 mm total sweeping width, up to 2,800 m²/h performance, 13.5 kg weight and completely manual operation makes it a simple and economical professional solution for everyday sweeping.

A Simple Step Up from Broom Sweeping

The strongest advantage of the KM 70/15 C Classic is its simplicity.

There is no battery to charge, no power cable, no fuel and no complicated operating system.

Take the machine out, lower the side brush and start sweeping.

For businesses regularly sweeping areas of approximately 100 m² or more, it provides a practical step between traditional broom cleaning and larger battery-powered commercial floor sweepers.
