An Australian first: the new Citymaster Hydro Scrub attachment for fast, effective large-area pressure washing.
Pressure washes up to 7,000sqm in one day with just one operator.
The new Hako Hydro Scrub high-pressure washer deck transforms Citymaster outdoor cleaning machines into powerful mobile pressure-washing units for fast, efficient cleaning across large outdoor areas.
Designed for councils, cleaning contractors, facility managers and industrial operators, this innovative attachment combines high-performance commercial pressure washing with the comfort, productivity and versatility of the Hako Citymaster.
Rather than walking behind a hand-operated pressure cleaner, a single operator controls the Hydro Scrub from inside the ergonomic cabin. The attachment can clean up to 7,000 m² in one working day and operate up to 10 times faster than conventional manual pressure washing, depending on the surface, site conditions and level of contamination.
The result is faster, more consistent cleaning with less manual labour and physical strain. It provides an efficient solution for footpaths, plazas, car parks, transport facilities, industrial yards and other extensive outdoor areas.
Note: Hydro Scrub attachment compatibility varies between Citymaster models. Contact us to discuss these options.

Features and benefits
High-pressure cleaning from the comfort of the cabin.
Traditional pressure washing can be physically demanding and labour-intensive. Operators may spend hours walking across hard surfaces while managing hoses and hand-operated pressure cleaning equipment.
Mounted at the front of the Citymaster, the Hydro Scrub changes this approach. One person operates the machine from inside the cabin, systematically pressure cleaning large areas while reducing prolonged walking, hose handling and exposure to water spray and outdoor conditions.
- Cleans up to 7,000 m² in one working day
- Up to 10 times faster than manual pressure cleaning
- Operated by one person from inside the cabin
- Delivers 200-bar high-pressure cleaning
- Provides a wide 1,250 mm cleaning path
- Powered through the Citymaster’s hydraulic system
- Uses the machine’s onboard water supply
- Delivers consistent results across large paved areas
- Reduces operator fatigue and physical strain
- Supports quick attachment changes for greater machine utilisation
Built to clean demanding outdoor environments.
The Hydro Scrub pressure washer attachment is engineered for demanding commercial and industrial applications where cleaning large hard-surface areas manually would be too slow and labour-intensive.
Its enclosed deck directs high-pressure water towards the ground, enabling the Citymaster to deliver intensive, consistent cleaning as it moves across streets, footpaths, industrial yards and other outdoor areas.
- Streets and footpaths
- Pedestrian areas and public plazas
- Car parks and parking stations
- Shopping centres and retail precincts
- Transport hubs and bus depots
- Airports, railway stations and loading areas
- Industrial yards and hardstand areas
- Warehouses and logistics facilities
- Entertainment precincts and stadium surrounds
- University, school and hospital grounds
- Parks, picnic areas and recreational facilities
- Concrete, asphalt and paved surfaces
- Drink spills and ground-in grime
- Mud and stubborn surface dirt
- Contaminated or heavily trafficked outdoor areas
Targeted cleaning for hard-to-reach areas.
The Hydro Scrub efficiently cleans large ground surfaces, but outdoor environments often include furniture, walls, fixtures and confined areas that require more targeted cleaning.
A separate hand-operated pressure cleaner can be fitted at the rear of the Citymaster and supplied by the machine’s onboard water tank. This allows the operator to pressure clean areas that cannot be reached by the front-mounted Hydro Scrub.
The hand-operated high-pressure cleaner is suitable for picnic tables, outdoor furniture, seats, benches, bus shelters, walls, retaining walls, fences, barriers, signs and street furniture. It can also reach corners around table and seat legs, kerbs, edges, confined spaces and areas surrounding bins and public facilities, making it ideal for spot cleaning stains and spills.
Together, the front-mounted Hydro Scrub and rear pressure-cleaning lance provide a practical combination for large-area surface cleaning and detailed spot work.
A more productive alternative to pressure cleaner trailers.
Pressure cleaner trailers and pressure washing trailers are commonly used for mobile outdoor cleaning. These systems typically combine a water tank, pressure washer, hose and hand-operated lance mounted on a towable trailer.
While trailer-mounted pressure cleaning equipment can be useful for smaller or targeted jobs, it has limitations when cleaning extensive outdoor areas.
Depending on the equipment and application, one person may be required to position or operate the towing vehicle while another walks across the site with the pressure-cleaning hose. Manually cleaning a large surface can be slow, physically demanding and difficult to complete consistently.
Operators must also manage long high-pressure hoses, repeated walking across large areas, hose repositioning and tangles, water spray and overspray, inconsistent cleaning speeds and fatigue associated with prolonged manual work. Larger sites may require additional labour and separate towing and cleaning equipment to complete the work efficiently.
One operator. One machine. Maximum productivity.
Unlike conventional street sweepers and outdoor cleaning machines, the Citymasters provides a fully integrated solution. One operator controls the Hydro Scrub from inside the cabin, cleaning large surface areas systematically, efficiently and consistently.
Compared with manual pressure washing, this approach can deliver:
- Faster cleaning across large outdoor areas
- More consistent coverage and cleaning speeds
- Reduced hose handling and manual walking
- Lower physical demands on the operator
- Less exposure to water spray and weather
- Reduced labour requirements
- Greater productivity from each working shift
Unlike a dedicated pressure washing trailer, the Citymaster does not become redundant once the pressure cleaning is complete. It can be quickly reconfigured to perform numerous other cleaning, maintenance and transport tasks.
Citymaster range
Year-round cleaning and maintenance from one machine.
The Citymaster range combines outdoor cleaning performance with the flexibility of a multifunctional implement carrier. Interchangeable attachments and superstructures enable one machine to undertake tasks that might otherwise require several dedicated vehicles.
This can help organisations reduce equipment purchases, labour requirements, fleet maintenance and storage demands while achieving better utilisation from the machine throughout the year.
Sweeping and debris collection: Two-broom and three-broom sweeping systems, powerful vacuum suction, collection hoppers and dust-suppression technology enable the efficient removal of dust, litter, leaves, grass and debris from streets, footpaths and public spaces.
Scrubbing and high-pressure cleaning: CityCleaner scrubbing decks, Hydro Scrub cold-water, hot-water and steam systems, street-washing spray bars and waterjet equipment provide intensive cleaning for hard surfaces. Onboard water tanks support extended operation, while hand-operated pressure cleaners allow detailed cleaning in confined and hard-to-reach areas.
Weed control and green-space maintenance: Mechanical weed brushes and chemical-free weed-removal systems help maintain kerbs, footpaths and paved areas. Rotary and flail mowers, grass collectors and spraying equipment support the maintenance of parks, verges, roadsides and other green spaces.
Winter maintenance: Snow ploughs, blades, blowers and sweeping attachments can be combined with salt, grit and brine-spreading systems to clear snow and improve safety across roads, pathways and public spaces.
Transport and utility work: Tipper bodies, transport trays, lattice boxes, trailers and towing equipment allow the Citymaster to carry materials, tools and waste. Watering systems, sprayers and spreaders further extend its capabilities for municipal and site-maintenance work.

Reduce labour and fleet costs.
By consolidating multiple applications into one platform, the Citymaster can help organisations reduce fleet and labour costs while improving equipment utilisation and operational efficiency. Its ergonomic, climate-controlled cabin provides excellent visibility, adjustable seating and integrated controls, helping operators remain comfortable and productive during long cleaning shifts.
- Reduce reliance on manual pressure washing
- Complete large-area cleaning with one operator
- Lower labour requirements
- Reduce the number of specialised machines required
- Improve year-round equipment utilisation
- Lower fleet servicing and maintenance costs
- Reduce equipment storage requirements
- Simplify fleet management
- Respond quickly to spills and urgent cleaning tasks
- Maintain more consistent outdoor cleaning standards
Change attachments quickly and easily.
The Citymaster’s quick-change system allows it to be converted from one application to another without lengthy workshop downtime.
It takes only a few minutes to transform the machine from a sweeper or scrubber into a high-pressure cleaner. The rear suction hopper can be removed in approximately six minutes when a water tank, transport body or alternative superstructure is required.
This allows councils, contractors and facility managers to respond quickly to changing priorities without maintaining a large fleet of specialised equipment. One Citymaster can pressure wash a public plaza, spot clean street furniture, sweep the surrounding roads and then be reconfigured for mowing, weed control, transport or other seasonal maintenance.
