Karcher NT 48/1 Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner

The Karcher NT 48/1 is a commercial wet and dry vacuum designed for contract cleaners, automotive shops, trades, and facility maintenance teams that need large-capacity pickup with straightforward transport and emptying. Its 12.7-gallon (48 l) tank, drain hose, robust chassis, metal latches, onboard accessory storage, and large PES cartridge filter support dependable day-to-day wet and dry cleanup.

Large cleanup jobs become less efficient when tanks fill quickly, liquid disposal is awkward, or hoses and tools are difficult to keep organized. The NT 48/1 addresses those challenges with a large 48-litre container, accessible drain hose, integrated cable and accessory storage, sturdy wheels and castors, and a mechanical float system that interrupts airflow when the liquid level is reached.

• 12.7 gal (48 L) tank, provides large collection capacity for commercial wet and dry cleanup.
• Integrated drain hose, makes liquid disposal easier without lifting and tipping the full container.
• Mechanical float shutoff, interrupts airflow when the maximum liquid level is reached.
• Large PES cartridge filter, provides a 0.8 m² filter surface to support consistent suction performance.
• Robust chassis with large wheels and metal castors, supports easier transport across commercial work areas.
• Integrated cable and accessory storage, keeps suction tubes, floor tool, crevice nozzle, and power cable organized on the machine.
• Robust metal latches, secure the machine head to the container during routine professional use.

• Contract cleaners handling larger wet and dry cleanup jobs in commercial properties.

Built for Commercial Productivity

Large capacity for longer cleaning intervals. The NT 48/1 has a 12.7 gal (48 L) tank and a stated liquid filling quantity of 9.2 gal (35 L). This gives operators useful capacity for larger wet and dry cleanup jobs before emptying is required.

Drain liquids without lifting the tank. The accessible drain hose allows collected liquid to be released directly from the container. This simplifies disposal after wet pickup and reduces the need to tip a heavy, full vacuum.

Automatic protection during wet pickup. A mechanical float system interrupts airflow when the maximum liquid level is reached, helping protect the machine during liquid collection.

Large filter area for consistent performance. The PES cartridge filter has a stated filter surface of 0.8 m². The large filter area is designed to support consistent suction during routine commercial use.

Built to move around the job. A sturdy chassis, large wheels, metal castors, and an integrated recessed grip help operators transport the vacuum around garages, workshops, service areas, and commercial facilities.

Keep tools with the machine. Integrated storage provides dedicated space for suction tubes, the floor tool, crevice nozzle, and power cable. The top of the turbine head also provides a storage surface for tools and other small items.

Strong wet and dry suction. The suction motor is rated at up to 150 CFM (71 L/s) airflow and 24.5 kPa maximum vacuum. The 10 A electrical system supports professional wet and dry cleaning tasks.

Durable everyday construction. Robust metal latches secure the machine head, while the sturdy bumper and chassis help protect the vacuum from knocks during routine commercial handling.
