Product Description
Karcher KM 130/300 R Bp Rider Floor Sweeper
The Karcher KM 130/300 R Bp is a heavy-duty battery powered rider floor sweeper designed for large-scale sweeping in demanding commercial and industrial environments. This configuration includes an overhead guard and front/rear lights, making it a strong fit for schools, universities, municipal facilities, airports, warehouses, and industrial buildings that need high-capacity sweeping with zero-emission operation.
This rider sweeper (ride-on sweeper) is built for demanding jobs with easy cylindrical brush replacement without tools, a fully hydraulic drive and sweeping system, and a durable design for heavy dust and debris collection. The KM 130/300 platform is designed for facilities that need industrial sweeping performance in a compact rider platform, while still delivering strong productivity and debris capacity.
With up to 51 inches of sweeping width using one side broom, a large 79.3 gallon waste container, and the benefits of quiet, zero-emission battery operation, the KM 130/300 R Bp is built for operators who need a durable industrial rider sweeper that can handle large indoor or outdoor areas efficiently without engine exhaust.

- Strong fit for schools, hospitals, government, and public buildings
- No fuel handling required
How to Choose Between the KM 130/300 and KM 150/500 Versions
Karcher offers both the KM 130/300 and KM 150/500 platforms in multiple power and configuration options. This can be confusing for buyers, so here is the simple breakdown.
- KM 130/300 - Smaller hopper, narrower main broom, lighter machine, and a better fit for facilities that need industrial sweeping power in a more compact platform
- KM 150/500 - Larger hopper, wider sweeping path, heavier-duty design, and better for the largest debris loads and highest productivity requirements
- Bp versions - Battery powered, lower noise, zero emissions, stronger fit for indoor or noise-sensitive use
- Lpg versions - Engine powered, longer runtime, faster travel, stronger fit for outdoor or ventilated industrial applications
- 1 Side Broom versions - Narrower cleaning path and lower initial cost
- 2 Side Broom versions - Wider cleaning path for maximum productivity
- Overhead Guard versions - Added operator protection
- Front/Rear Lights or Working Lights versions - Improved visibility for darker work areas
Best For
- Municipal and government facilities with large sweeping areas
- Schools, universities, and public campuses that need zero-emission sweeping
- Airports, terminals, and public works operations
- Warehouses and industrial buildings needing a compact industrial rider sweeper
- Facilities that need operator protection and improved visibility
- Operators who want a single side broom battery sweeper with added guard and lights
Not Ideal For
- Facilities that prefer engine-powered machines for the longest uninterrupted runtime
- Outdoor-only applications where LPG may be preferred for extended shifts
- Facilities that require the wider 2 side broom cleaning path
- Applications that require the larger hopper and heavier-duty capacity of the KM 150/500 platform
