Building cleaning challenges include time pressure, limited space for transporting equipment and accessories, avoiding health hazards for employees, and choosing suitable, durable products that enable intensive use. With the Performance Trolley Line ‘Flexomate’, the company provides a convincing answer to all these challenges.
The uniform platform and the new cleaning trolleys' unique, modular design meet the most demanding customer requirements. Cleaning equipment, including battery-powered devices, can be stowed easily and safely, and access is quick and easy. Available working time can thus be used efficiently.
The integration of smart devices also allows the trolleys to be used as system modules in digital building management. At the same time, Kärcher also focuses on ergonomic and ecological aspects. Height-adjustable handles, back-friendly access to the individual boxes, tiltable or extendable modules, and easy maneuverability are features that actively help prevent health problems.
All products in the new platform are 100% recyclable, and re-granulated and recycled materials are used systematically. The modular design of the trolley allows constant and flexible adaptation to new application scenarios using existing elements.
Additional purchases, replacement, and repair of individual modules are possible at any time. The company also offers its customers profound advice on the use of sustainable concepts. As part of the digital transformation, networked cleaning-on-demand solutions are available that determine, for example, the frequency of use of rooms and the fill level of liquid quantities. This means that cleaning takes place at precisely the times and places where it is needed. Resources are used optimally, and consumables are saved. With the ‘Flexomate’ Trolley Performance Line, the company is thus making an important contribution to a more sustainable future.
