Kärcher HD 5/12 C Plus Cold Water High Pressure Cleaner
£687.00(£824.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Kärcher HD 5/12 C Plus is a cold water pressure washer designed for regular, intensive use across commercial environments. It operates from a standard 230V supply and is built around professional-grade internal components — including a brass cylinder head — intended to hold up under the demands of daily cleaning routines rather than occasional domestic use.
In a catering or hospitality setting, pressure washers like this are commonly used for cleaning external bin stores, service yards, delivery areas, canopy and extract ducting surrounds, vehicle fleets, and hard-standing areas. The HD 5/12 C Plus is sized for one-person operation across a working day, and its compact footprint means it stores without taking up significant space between uses.
A few features make it practical for day-to-day kitchen support work:
- Easy!Force trigger gun requires no sustained squeezing force, reducing operator fatigue during extended cleaning sessions
- Anti-twist hose minimises handling frustration and reduces wear over time
- Rotary dirt blaster nozzle improves shift on heavier soiling without additional passes
- Upright and lie-flat operating positions suit uneven ground or low-access areas
- On-board nozzle, cable, and hose storage keeps the unit self-contained and ready to use
Practically speaking, this machine is suited to external and peripheral cleaning tasks rather than direct food-contact surface sanitation, where specific hygiene standards apply. It runs from a standard single-phase supply, though access to an appropriate outdoor or weatherproof socket and a suitable drainage point should be confirmed before use. The anti-topple base design helps when working on sloped or uneven surfaces, which is useful in older premises where yard surfaces are not level.
This model is well suited to smaller catering operations, pub and restaurant groups managing their own yard maintenance, or facilities teams supporting multiple sites with a portable unit. For sites with significantly heavier or more frequent external cleaning demands, a higher-output machine may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your cleaning schedule or site setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
Frequently asked questions
Is this pressure washer suitable for cleaning inside a commercial kitchen?
The HD 5/12 C Plus is a cold water pressure washer intended for external and peripheral cleaning tasks — bin stores, yards, canopy surrounds, and hard-standing areas. Internal food-preparation surfaces require cleaning and sanitising methods that meet specific hygiene standards, and a cold water pressure washer is not typically appropriate for that purpose. For internal kitchen deep-cleaning, speak to us about purpose-specific equipment or approved chemical systems.
What power supply does it require, and can it be used outdoors?
The unit runs from a standard 230V single-phase supply. For outdoor use, you will need access to a weatherproof or externally rated socket and should ensure the power cable can reach the work area safely. If your yard or service area does not have a suitable external socket, that is worth arranging before taking delivery.
Is this model suitable for a busy multi-site catering operation?
For a single site with regular but moderate external cleaning demands, this machine is well sized. If your operation involves heavy daily use across multiple locations, or if cleaning volumes are particularly high — such as large production facilities or sites with significant vehicle fleets — a higher-output cold water machine may serve better over the long term. We are happy to advise based on your specific cleaning schedule.
