Refurbished Cleaning Machines: Offering reliable performance and a greener choice
In today’s environmentally conscious world, businesses are seeking sustainable solutions that balance operational efficiency with responsible resource use.
A refurbished cleaning machine from Hako is a prime example of how quality, reliability, and environmental focus can go hand in hand, offering a compelling alternative to purchasing new if there are budget constraints.
Each Hako machine selected for refurbishment undergoes a meticulous, case-by-case assessment before any work begins. This thorough evaluation ensures that every aspect of the machine’s condition is understood, allowing engineers to plan a targeted and effective refurbishment.
The ultimate goal is simple: to provide customers with a machine that looks presentable, performs as well as a brand-new unit, and – with proper care – will continue to do so for many years.
At the same time, the refurbishment process is mindful of avoiding unnecessary waste by replacing only those components that truly require renewal, helping to keep costs down for customers while conserving valuable materials.
The refurbishment journey comprises of a series of rigorous checks and procedures. These include an overall condition assessment, functional testing of all systems, and a detailed inspection of the battery, electric motors, and key mechanical components.
Engineers remove all panels for a deep clean, carefully protect sensitive components before washing the chassis and panels, and inspect or replace vital parts such as seals, belts, bearings, tyres, brake and steering components.
For machines with internal combustion engines, a compression test ensures ongoing reliability. Wiring looms and linkage play are also checked to guarantee safe and consistent performance.
Once the assessment is complete, parts are ordered as required. Machines often display cosmetic wear from previous use, so the exposed paintwork is sanded to remove imperfections and repainted using a durable, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paint designed to withstand harsh industrial environments.
This not only restores the machine’s appearance but also ensures longevity and environmental compliance. After refurbishment, each unit is thoroughly tested and configured by specialist engineers.

Before delivery, refurbished Hako machines are subjected to the same comprehensive Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) as new models. This 47-point check covers safety, fluid levels, specification, paintwork, and cleanliness, ensuring the end user receives a machine that meets the highest standards.
Beyond the obvious financial savings, refurbishing Hako cleaning machines offers significant environmental benefits. By extending the life of existing equipment, businesses reduce the demand for raw materials, energy, and manufacturing emissions associated with new production. Carefully selected replacements and low-VOC paints further minimise environmental impact, while responsible waste management and recycling form an integral part of the process.
