Product Description
Karcher Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology Stand-On Floor Scrubber for Top Scrubbing and Finish Removal
The Karcher Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology is a compact stand-on automatic floor scrubber engineered for highly productive top scrubbing, chemical-free finish removal, and routine hard floor restoration tasks. This configuration includes a 20 inch orbital pad driver, 36V / 130 Ah batteries, and a 21A automatic charger for efficient charging in facilities that use a dedicated charging area.
Built for schools, healthcare facilities, retail stores, warehouses, and other commercial buildings, the Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology helps operators clean more square footage with less fatigue while delivering aggressive orbital cleaning action. Karcher's patented stand-on design supports faster cleaning, excellent visibility, easier transport between cleaning zones, and added Deluxe platform features for improved daily usability.
With practical productivity up to 18,000 square feet per hour, a compact footprint, and a tight 48 inch turning radius, this machine is a strong fit for facilities that need a more agile alternative to bulkier ride-on scrubbers or slower walk-behind units while also needing a more aggressive top-scrub solution.
What Is the Deluxe Version?
The Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe builds on the standard iScrub 20 platform with added convenience and usability features for facilities that want more flexibility in daily cleaning operations. Depending on configuration, Deluxe models may include on-board charging convenience, support for optional chemical metering, and transportation-friendly features such as a tie-down bar. It is a strong fit for facilities that want the productivity of the Chariot stand-on platform with added time-saving features.
What Is ORB Technology?
ORB Technology combines the productivity of the Chariot stand-on platform with a dual-motion orbital scrubbing system designed for top scrubbing, re-coating preparation, and chemical-free finish removal. Unlike a traditional spinning disc scrubber, the orbital deck generates thousands of 3/8 inch orbit contact points at 1,725 rpm while also moving in an 80 rpm rotational motion. This dual-motion action creates stronger mechanical cleaning performance for VCT, concrete, and some soft stone applications while reducing dependence on chemicals, water, energy, and labor.

Battery and Charger Options
The Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology is available in multiple battery and charger configurations so facilities can match runtime, maintenance preferences, and charging convenience to their cleaning program.
- 36V / 130 Ah batteries: A strong choice for facilities that want dependable runtime for routine daily scrubbing and top-scrub work.
- 36V / 114 Ah AGM batteries: AGM batteries are sealed and generally preferred when reduced battery maintenance is important.
- Automatic charger: A separate automatic charger can be useful when charging is handled in a dedicated charging area.
- On-board charger: An on-board charger offers added convenience because the machine can be plugged in directly without a separate charger to manage.
Facilities comparing configurations should consider cleaning hours per shift, charging access, maintenance preferences, and whether operators benefit more from built-in charging convenience or a separate charger setup.
Stand-On Floor Scrubber vs Walk-Behind Scrubber Productivity
Facilities comparing a stand-on floor scrubber vs a walk-behind scrubber often find that stand-on machines deliver significantly higher productivity while reducing operator fatigue. The Karcher Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology was designed specifically to improve cleaning efficiency compared to traditional walk-behind scrubbers.
- Up to 50% higher productivity than a conventional 20 inch walk-behind scrubber
- Operators ride on the machine instead of walking, reducing fatigue during longer cleaning shifts
- Faster transport speed between cleaning areas
- Improved visibility and maneuverability in hallways and tight spaces
- More consistent cleaning performance in large facilities
For schools, hospitals, retail stores, and municipal buildings, a stand-on scrubber like the Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology can often clean the same area in significantly less time compared to a traditional walk-behind machine while also delivering stronger top-scrub action.
Facilities evaluating productivity improvements often upgrade from walk-behind machines when cleaning areas exceed several thousand square feet or when staff need to clean multiple zones quickly during limited maintenance windows.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of scrubber is the Karcher Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology?
The Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology is a battery-powered stand-on automatic floor scrubber designed for higher productivity, top scrubbing, and aggressive orbital floor preparation tasks.
Does this version use pads or brushes?
This configuration includes an orbital pad driver, making it ideal for top scrubbing, re-coating preparation, and chemical-free finish removal on appropriate floor types.
What makes ORB Technology different from a standard pad driver?
ORB Technology uses a dual-motion orbital action rather than simple spinning disc motion. This creates stronger mechanical cleaning action and is especially useful for top scrubbing and finish removal applications.
What charger is included with 1.008-136.0?
This machine includes a 21A automatic charger.
Where does the Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Deluxe with ORB Technology work best?
It works well in schools, hospitals, retail stores, municipal buildings, and commercial facilities that need compact maneuverability along with stronger floor prep and top-scrub performance.
Is this a good option for schools and government buildings?
Yes. Its compact size, quieter operation, improved productivity, and strong top-scrub performance make it a strong fit for schools, universities, and public facilities managing floor finish maintenance.
What is the difference between 130 Ah batteries and 114 Ah AGM batteries?
The 130 Ah battery configuration is designed for strong runtime in daily cleaning applications. The 114 Ah AGM battery configuration uses sealed AGM batteries, which are often preferred when lower battery maintenance is important.
What is the difference between an automatic charger and an on-board charger?
An automatic charger is typically a separate charger unit used in a designated charging area. An on-board charger is built into the machine, allowing operators to plug the scrubber directly into a compatible outlet. The best choice depends on facility workflow and charging access.
