The Kärcher NT 48/1 with Front Squeegee is a versatile commercial wet/dry vacuum cleaner designed for efficient liquid and debris pickup on both carpeted and hard surfaces. Equipped with a front squeegee, this model excels at collecting spills and liquid messes in industrial, commercial, and maintenance environments, making it ideal for workshops, warehouses, garages, automotive shops, and commercial facilities.
With a large 48 L (13 gal) tank and single high-performance motor, the NT 48/1 delivers strong suction for both wet and dry applications. The front squeegee attachment allows for fast, streak-free water collection on smooth floors, eliminating the need for multiple cleaning passes. Combined with its float system, the vacuum automatically prevents overfilling and protects the motor during liquid pick-up.
The NT 48/1 is built for operator convenience and productivity. Features include integrated accessory storage, large durable wheels with locking castors, and a 7.5 m (24 ft) power cord for extended reach. Its easy-to-clean tank and accessible filter system simplify maintenance, reducing downtime and improving workflow efficiency.
