Scrubs up well

Suitable for working in tight spaces the new machine's short wheelbase enables it to make a complete U-turn in aisles as narrow as 1.79m.

Hako sales director Sylvie Giangolini said: "With the launch of the B75R, customers looking for a professional cleaning solution for tight spaces and smaller floor areas can count on the same levels of innovation, reliability and performance associated with our larger machines."

Standard features include an integrated on-board charger with an easy-access mains lead and a large digital display showing run-time hours, battery charge and fault code data.

On-board diagnostics can be accessed via the Hako Engineer software or by a diagnostic wiring lead, whilst the machine's competitive 90- to 110-minute run time is made possible thanks to the use of four 180 A/h maintenance-free gel batteries.

Firsts for this class of machine - which has 75-litre capacity solution and recovery tanks - include a foot-operated brush discharge system and a host of other features designed to make life easier for the operator and reduce time spent on essential maintenance.

These include a screw-in cap to the recovery tank cover, which enables easy removal of any debris and easy access for cleaning.
