Frequently Asked Questions
What is a combination scrubber-sweeper?
A combination scrubber-sweeper removes loose debris while washing and drying the floor. The PowerBoss Nautilus uses one set of cylindrical brushes to sweep and scrub simultaneously, completing multiple cleaning tasks in a single pass.
What is the difference between the Nautilus and Nautilus HD?
Both models provide the same integrated sweeping and scrubbing performance. The standard Nautilus uses a removable debris hopper, while the Nautilus HD has a larger hydraulic high-dump hopper that raises approximately 152 cm for direct emptying into a suitable bin or skip.
How much area can the PowerBoss Nautilus clean?
The Nautilus Series provides theoretical area performance up to approximately 15,200 m² per hour, depending on the selected cleaning width, configuration and operating conditions.
Can I rent, hire or lease a PowerBoss Nautilus instead of buying?
Yes. Hako Australia offers purchase, rental, hire and leasing options. Availability and the most suitable arrangement will depend on your cleaning requirements and selected machine configuration.
What is TGT hot-water cleaning technology?
Optional Thermal Green Technology uses heat generated by the engine to raise the cleaning-water temperature by up to approximately 39°C above ambient temperature. Heated water can improve cleaning performance and may reduce chemical use in suitable applications.
Is the Nautilus suitable for indoor and outdoor cleaning?
Yes. The Nautilus can clean large indoor areas and suitable outdoor paved surfaces. Engine selection, ventilation, floor conditions and site safety requirements should be considered when configuring the machine.
How does the Nautilus reduce cleaning downtime?
Large solution and recovery tanks allow longer cleaning cycles, while one-pass sweeping and scrubbing can remove the need for a separate pre-sweeping stage. No-tool brush and squeegee changes and accessible service panels also simplify routine maintenance.
Can the machine be configured for site safety requirements?
Yes. Available options include an overhead guard, blue safety light, reversing camera and additional side-brush equipment. Hako Australia can recommend a configuration for the operating environment.
