Hako to launch new generation of walk-behind machines
Hako is updating its Scrubmaster range with two walk-behind scrubber-driers.
With optimised operation and ergonomics, technical features for greater safety and efficiency, and reduced resource consumption, the Scrubmaster models B35 and B50 will ensure even more comfortable and economical cleaning of medium-sized areas from mid-2026.
With working widths of 46cm and 55cm as well as solution and recovery tank volumes of 35 and 50 litres respectively, the machines boast significantly increased area output and running times compared to their predecessors. Innovative technical details ensure optimised operating and working comfort as well as greater operational safety.
Integrated automatic speed control when cornering - supporting more precise control of the machine even in confined spaces, increases safety in everyday work.
A key design feature is the newly developed squeegee, which can be removed and folded up without tools. It provides consistently powerful suction results for dry floors that can be walked on immediately and facilitates daily cleaning and maintenance. In addition, a generous tank opening and colour-coded maintenance points contribute to easy handling and short servicing times.
The Scrubmaster B50 will be optionally equipped with orbital cleaning technology (expected from the end of 2026) - for improved cleaning results with less wear on the cleaning tool.
With body panels made from up to 50% post-consumer recyclate, the machine's durability, economical use of water, energy and cleaning chemicals, and reduced operating noise.
