Product Description
Karcher Chariot 2 iScrub 20 Stand-On Floor Scrubber with Pad Driver and 36V Battery System
The Karcher Chariot 2 iScrub 20 is a compact stand-on automatic floor scrubber designed to deliver higher productivity than a comparable 20 inch walk-behind scrubber while improving maneuverability in tight commercial spaces. This configuration includes a 20 inch pad driver, 36V / 130 Ah batteries, and a 21A on-board charger for convenient charging without the need to manage a separate charger.
Built for schools, healthcare facilities, retail stores, warehouses, and other commercial buildings, the Chariot 2 iScrub 20 helps operators clean more square footage with less fatigue. Karcher's patented stand-on design supports faster cleaning, excellent visibility, and easier transport between cleaning zones.
With practical productivity up to 18,800 square feet per hour, a compact footprint, and a tight 48 inch turning radius, this machine is a smart fit for facilities that need a more agile alternative to bulkier ride-on scrubbers or slower walk-behind units.

Battery and Charger Options
The Chariot 2 iScrub 20 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.
- 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 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 can often clean the same area in significantly less time compared to a traditional walk-behind machine.
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?
The Chariot 2 iScrub 20 is a battery-powered stand-on automatic floor scrubber designed to offer greater productivity and maneuverability than a traditional 20 inch walk-behind scrubber.
Does this version use pads or brushes?
This configuration includes a pad driver, making it suitable for pad-based floor scrubbing and routine floor maintenance programs.
What charger is included with 1.008-009.0?
This machine includes a 21A on-board charger.
Where does the Chariot 2 iScrub 20 work best?
It works well in schools, hospitals, retail stores, municipal buildings, warehouses, and commercial corridors where operators need compact maneuverability and better productivity than a standard walk-behind unit.
Is this a good option for schools and government buildings?
Yes. Its compact size, quieter operation, and improved productivity make it a strong fit for schools, universities, and public facilities managing daily hard floor cleaning.
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. Facilities choosing between them should consider runtime needs, maintenance preferences, and charging practices.
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. On-board charging is often more convenient for facilities that want simpler day-to-day charging.
What is the difference between a pad driver and a brush scrub deck?
A pad driver is used with floor pads and is often preferred for routine floor maintenance and pad-based scrubbing programs. A brush deck uses a scrub brush instead of a pad and may be a better fit for facilities that want brush agitation based on floor condition and soil level. The right choice depends on the floor type, soil load, and the cleaning system already used in the facility.
