Designed for healthcare. Built for hygiene. Trusted by Australia’s leading hospitals.
Industry: Healthcare
In healthcare environments such as hospitals, aged care facilities and medical centres, hygiene is everything. Every surface must be kept clean, dry and free from contaminants to protect patients, staff and visitors. With infection control at the heart of daily operations, cleaning equipment must perform consistently, reliably and with minimal disruption.
Hospitals operate around the clock, and cleaning teams need to work efficiently across a wide range of surfaces — from corridors and waiting areas to wards and operating theatres. This makes choosing the right hospital floor scrubber critical for maintaining compliance, improving efficiency and supporting infection prevention programs.
The Challenge
In healthcare settings, cleaning standards are non-negotiable. Floors are one of the most high-traffic and contamination-prone areas in any hospital, and improper cleaning can lead to serious infection risks.
The challenge faced by many hospital facilities teams is finding equipment that:
- Delivers a consistently hygienic clean across different flooring types.
- Reduces the risk of slips and falls by leaving surfaces completely dry.
- Operates quietly to avoid disturbing patients and clinical staff.
- Performs reliably day after day, even under heavy use.
- Meets the strict hygiene standards required by infection control procedures.
Older or unreliable machines often fail to meet these expectations, leading to more downtime, lower cleaning standards and increased labour demands.
The Solution
Hako Scrubmaster walk-behind and ride-on floor scrubber dryers
Hako provided the hospital with a range of Scrubmaster walk-behind and ride-on scrubber dryers, specifically designed for healthcare environments where hygiene, safety and reliability are essential.
These machines leave floors clean and dry in a single pass, ensuring areas are safe for immediate use, an important advantage in busy hospitals where foot traffic is constant. The inclusion of Hako-AntiBac® technology adds another layer of protection by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi in the recovery and solution tanks.
To complement the scrubbers, Hako carpet and upholstery cleaners were also supplied for effective cleaning of soft surfaces and quick response to spills or accidents.
Key features include:
- Exceptional manoeuvrability: Easy to navigate in tight hospital corridors and patient areas.
- Ergonomic design: Comfortable and easy to use for operators of varying heights and abilities.
- Low-noise operation: Allows cleaning during sensitive hours without disruption.
- Advanced hygiene design: Smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces and AntiBac® components minimise bacterial growth.
- Local service support: Ensures maximum uptime with fast, reliable maintenance.

The hospital experienced immediate improvements in both hygiene outcomes and operational efficiency.
