Product Description
Karcher KM 130/300 R Lpg Rider Floor Sweeper with Overhead Guard
The Karcher KM 130/300 R Lpg is a heavy-duty LPG powered rider floor sweeper designed for demanding commercial and industrial sweeping environments. This configuration includes an overhead guard, making it a strong fit for schools, universities, municipal facilities, airports, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and large commercial buildings that need strong sweeping performance with added operator protection.
This rider sweeper (ride-on sweeper) features a robust steel chassis, a fully hydraulic traction drive and sweeping system, and a high-capacity hopper designed to handle demanding sweeping conditions. The KM 130/300 platform is widely used in schools, universities, municipal buildings, warehouses, airports, manufacturing plants, and large commercial facilities where durability and long runtime matter.
With up to 51 inches of sweeping width using one side broom and a large 81 gallon waste container, the KM 130/300 R Lpg provides strong sweeping productivity while remaining more maneuverable than larger industrial sweepers. The overhead guard adds an extra layer of operator protection for more demanding working environments.

- Lpg versions - Engine powered, longer runtime, strong outdoor performance
- 1 side broom models - Narrower cleaning path with lower purchase cost

- Overhead Guard versions - Added operator protection
- Front/Rear Lights or Working Lights versions - Improved visibility in darker work areas
Best For
- Schools and university campuses
- Government and municipal facilities
- Airports and transportation hubs
- Warehouses and industrial buildings
- Facilities needing reliable propane-powered sweeping
- Operators who want overhead guard protection without moving to lights or 2 side broom configurations

LPG Power and Runtime Considerations
The KM 130/300 R Lpg uses an LPG propane engine designed for strong sweeping performance and long runtime in demanding environments. This configuration is often chosen for facilities that want fast refueling and do not want the downtime associated with recharging a battery machine.
- LPG Version (This Machine) - Strong fit for long sweeping routes and demanding industrial use
- Longer runtime - Useful for large facilities and longer shifts
- Fast refueling - Faster turnaround than recharging a battery machine
- Ventilation considerations - Best suited for outdoor or appropriately ventilated indoor environments
Compared with Bp battery versions, the Lpg models are often preferred for outdoor routes, industrial yards, parking structures, and other applications where runtime and fast refueling matter most.
