Karcher NT 40/1 Tact te Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner

Karcher NT 40/1 Tact Te Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner

The Karcher NT 40/1 Tact Te is a professional wet and dry vacuum designed for workshops, production areas, construction sites, maintenance teams, and other demanding commercial applications. Its large 10.3-gallon tank, Tact automatic filter cleaning, integrated power-tool outlet, PTFE HEPA flat pleated filter, and durable metal castors support long cleaning intervals with fewer interruptions.

Professional cleanup slows down when filters clog, tanks fill too quickly, tools need separate power connections, or equipment is difficult to move around active work areas. The NT 40/1 Tact Te addresses those challenges with automatic filter cleaning, a large-capacity container, automatic start and stop for connected electric tools, and integrated storage for hoses, cables, accessories, and toolboxes.

Built for Commercial Productivity

Automatic filter cleaning for longer work intervals. The Tact system automatically cleans the filter during operation, helping maintain suction when collecting larger quantities of fine dust over extended work periods.

Connect your power tools directly. The integrated device socket includes automatic switch-on and switch-off for electric tools. When a connected tool starts, the vacuum can start with it, reducing the number of manual steps during dust-producing work.

Large wet and dry capacity. The North American technical data lists a 10.5 gal (40 L) tank with a 6.3 gal (24 L) liquid filling quantity. This supports longer cleaning periods before the container needs to be emptied.

Strong professional suction. The NT 40/1 Tact Te produces up to 150 CFM (71 L/s) airflow and 24.2 kPa vacuum, supporting pickup of fine and coarse dry debris as well as liquids.

Designed for active work environments. The robust plastic container is protected by a bumper, while durable metal castors support movement around workshops, production areas, and construction sites.

Make better use of the tank. The suction hose connects directly to the machine head, helping increase usable container volume and simplifying emptying.

Keep tools and accessories organized. The machine includes built-in hose, cable, and accessory storage. Rubberized surfaces on the flat machine head provide a secure place for toolboxes, while transport eyelets allow the vacuum to be secured during transport.

Simple operating controls. A central rotary switch allows easy selection of suction programs, while infinitely variable speed control lets the operator adjust suction as required.

Liquid protection built in. An automatic cut-out activates at the maximum filling level to help protect the vacuum during wet pickup.
