Product information and benefits

The most powerful 3-phase hot water high-pressure cleaner in the compact class: the HDS 8/18-4 C with eco!efficiency and steam stage impresses with its ergonomics and user-friendliness. Its powerful 4-pole motor is water-cooled. A robust axial pump with three ceramic pistons builds up high pressure. The EASY!Force Advanced high-pressure gun with servo control for easy adjustment of pressure and water flow, patented nozzle technology and EASY!Lock quick-release fasteners makes for ergonomic work. The Soft Damping System (SDS) reduces vibrations. The hot water technology effectively breaks up even lubricants and reduces the use of detergents, which are precisely dosed from a 15.5-litre tank. The maintenance-friendly HDS 8/18-4 C is designed for daily use under hard conditions. The descaling option, a water filter and a safety valve protect the technology. A robust chassis protects against impacts, while large wheels and a steering roller/castor offer high manoeuvrability. There are integrated storage possibilities for accessories.

High efficiency

eco!efficiency mode – economical and environmentally friendly, even during longer periods of use. Reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by 20%.

Wide-ranging accessories with EASY!Lock

EASY!Force Advanced for fatigue-free work without any holding force. Pressure and water volume can be adjusted on the Servo Control controller positioned between the lance and trigger gun. Rotating 1050 mm stainless steel lance.

Operational safety

Easy-to-access water filter protects the pump against dirt particles in the water. Safety valves, water shortage and fuel protection ensure the availability of the machine.
