Product Overview
Kersten K 1500 Two-Wheel Power Unit with Hydraulic Drive
The Kersten K 1500 is a professional hydraulic-drive two-wheel power unit, ideal for contractors and councils. Designed for year-round maintenance, it excels in sweeping, weed brushing, mowing, and snow removal. With low vibrations and narrow-access capabilities, it is highly effective in maintaining various surfaces, including artificial turf and block paving.
Equipped with a Honda GX200 industrial gasoline engine (4.3 kW / 5.8 hp), the K 1500 delivers high performance for demanding applications. Its hydrostatic drive ensures smooth and precise operation with an infinitely variable speed control (0-6 km/h). The hydraulic auxiliary drive provides up to 9 l/min hydraulic flow, allowing compatibility with multiple hydraulic-powered attachments.

Applications
Moss & Weed Control
When Moss and Weeds become established on hard surfaces, such as block paving; tarmac; or concrete - they are difficult to remove with a sweeper. For this application we have made the Weedbrush. Kersten weedbrushes have been designed to quickly remove weeds and moss.
Artificial Surface Maintenance
In addition to the normal problems we face maintaining hard surfaces; artificial surfaces have infill, which gets compacted and also migrates around the surface. This infill can be de-compacted with a sweeper allowing the surface to drain properly. The sweeper will also even out the distribution of infill and stand up the grass, making the surface much nicer to use.
Winter Maintenance
Keeping pavements and highstreets open is also a challenge, often undertaken by council teams. A Kersten Plough or Spreader can allow facilities, key bus stops and other transport networks to remain accessible to pedestrians.
