Product Description
Karcher KM 130/300 R Lpg Rider Floor Sweeper with 2 Side Brooms
The Karcher KM 130/300 R Lpg is a heavy-duty LPG powered rider floor sweeper designed for large-scale sweeping in demanding commercial and industrial environments. This configuration includes 2 side brooms, making it a strong fit for schools, universities, municipal facilities, airports, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and large commercial buildings that need a wider sweeping path and strong sweeping performance for indoor or outdoor use.
This rider sweeper (ride-on sweeper) is built for the toughest jobs with a robust steel chassis, fully hydraulic traction drive and sweeping system, and a large hopper for high-volume debris collection. The KM 130/300 platform is designed for facilities that need industrial sweeping power, reliable dust control, and longer runtime than many battery-powered alternatives.
With up to 61 inches of sweeping width using two side brooms, an 81 gallon waste container, and strong sweeping performance for dust, sand, and heavier debris, the KM 130/300 R Lpg is built for operators who need a durable industrial sweeper that can clean large areas efficiently in challenging environments.

Why Choose an LPG Rider Sweeper?
This configuration uses LPG power instead of battery power. LPG rider sweepers are often chosen for large facilities where long runtime, fast refueling, and strong sweeping performance are priorities.
- Longer runtime without battery charging downtime
- Fast refueling compared with recharging a battery machine
- Strong fit for large facilities and demanding sweeping routes
- Useful for outdoor areas or indoor spaces with appropriate ventilation
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 refueling, stronger fit for outdoor or ventilated industrial applications
- 1 Side Broom versions - Narrower sweeping width and lower initial cost
- 2 Side Broom versions - Wider sweeping width 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 large public campuses
- Airports, terminals, and public works operations
- Large industrial and manufacturing facilities
- Facilities that need a rider sweeper with maximum sweeping width in the KM 130/300 platform
- Operators who want dual side brooms without moving to overhead guard or lighting packages
Not Ideal For
- Facilities that require zero-emission battery equipment
- Small facilities where a compact rider or walk-behind sweeper would be more appropriate
- Noise-sensitive indoor environments where battery sweepers are preferred
- Applications where a narrower cleaning path is more practical than a wide 2 side broom layout

- 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
