Kärcher – other models: the collective page of mobile high-pressure-cleaner trailers outside the named ranges, from HD 9/23 to HDS 13/35, gross weight 1,600 to 3,500 kg
Kärcher of Winnenden is the globally known maker of cleaning technology; this page gathers mobile high-pressure-cleaner trailers outside the named ranges. The designations HD and HDS stand for cold-water and hot-water high-pressure cleaners respectively, the numbers after them – such as 9/23 – give flow rate in litres per minute and operating pressure in bar times ten; the suffixes DE and GE distinguish drive variants of the HD 9/23 range, while TFK and TFL mark dedicated trailer platforms carrying the cleaning unit.

The register lists here 10 versions with unladen weights from 490 to 3,330 kg, gross weights from 1,600 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 2,080 to 3,850 mm and widths from 1,500 to 2,180 mm.
Such trailers belong to the light class O2 and are fitted with an engine, pump, water tank and often their own generator, so cleaning work can be carried out independently of a fixed water connection on site, for example at municipalities, haulage firms or construction sites. The trailer's own water tank and an optional built-in generator allow work where neither a water nor a power connection is available.
On used trailers of this kind, operating hours and the condition of pump and drive engine, the tightness of water tank and hoses, the condition of the heating coil on hot-water units, and the trailer's frame, axle and brakes count; spare parts for the cleaning technology run through Kärcher's dense service network. At the periodic inspection, the axle, brakes and lighting are common points of attention on such trailers, quite apart from the cleaning technology itself.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
