Extended machine life

Hako cleaning machines are built for durability, with ongoing servicing, repairs and refurbishment helping extend their working life and reduce the need for premature replacement.

Hako Australia supports customers with maintenance, technical advice and genuine spare parts to keep equipment operating effectively over the long term.

When a machine reaches the end of its service life, recycling options depend on its materials, components and the facilities available locally.

Electric operation

The Citymaster 1650 ZE is a fully electric compact sweeper in the 3.5-tonne class, designed for street and public-space cleaning. Its battery-electric drive produces no exhaust emissions during operation.

For councils and contractors considering electric cleaning equipment, Hako Australia can provide advice on the machine’s suitability for their routes, cleaning tasks and charging arrangements.

Water conservation.

Hako cleaning agents and detergents are designed for use with compatible Hako dosing and filling systems to support accurate dilution and help avoid unnecessary detergent use. This helps businesses and organisations maintain clean floors, manage cleaning costs and use detergent efficiently.

Choosing the right cleaning agent and following the recommended dilution rate are important for effective floor care. We can advise on suitable detergents for your machine, floor surfaces and cleaning requirements, helping operators achieve consistent results during daily cleaning.

Hako’s Global Sustainability Commitment

Hako GmbH (Group) received an overall score of 65/100 in its May 2025 EcoVadis sustainability assessment, placing it in the 78th percentile. The assessment covered four areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

EcoVadis assesses companies’ sustainability management practices. Its company-level assessment provides information about Hako’s policies and practices across these areas, rather than certifying the environmental performance of individual cleaning machines.

For our customers, the assessment provides additional information about the manufacturer behind their equipment, helping them consider supplier sustainability practices alongside machine performance, durability and ongoing support when making purchasing decisions.
