MOBILE MULTITASKERS FOR MUNICIPAL CLEANING


There’s never a shortage of cleaning and maintenance tasks to be carried out in urban areas and cities – whatever the weather. Here Kärcher profiles two key multitasking solutions indispensable in the battle to keep streets clean and sociable.


As well as being representative of a community in general, well-maintained streets, squares and green spaces contribute to the wellbeing and even safety of the area’s residents. A central task for local authorities begins with keeping streets and public areas clean, both above ground and below – into underpasses and subways and pipes and sewers too.


The ‘broken windows’ theory has long been cited as a crime deterrent, suggesting that cleaning up the visible signs of disorder like graffiti, vandalism and loitering will prevent more serious crime as well. It’s certainly true that gum is less likely to be dropped on a pristine


pavement or graffiti daubed on a virgin wall. Yet by nature the places these antisocial behaviours occur - particularly late night drinking and graffiti - are out of the way, often remote and hard to access; or, in the case of bus stops and children’s playgrounds, empty by night and requiring a rapid cleaning response before daybreak.


Enter a mobile cleaning solution, completely independent of mains power and water.


If water and electricity are hard to come by, why not bring them with you? Mobile hot water pressure washer trailers are versatile all-rounders which

can be towed by - or mounted within - your existing vehicle. With generous on-board tanks (500L water and 100L fuel) to allow for long intervals of stand- alone use, Kärcher’s HDS Trailers can operate up to 9.5 hours on a single fuel tank and can also be connected directly to a permitted water supply.


High-pressure cleaning is fundamentally environmentally friendly: even powerful 1,000l an hour units still consume a lot less water than a garden hose’s 3,500 l/h flow rate. Effective burners, highly efficient heat exchangers and eco!efficiency mode noticeably decrease fuel use and reduce emissions to a minimum,
