Polivac Predator MK3 Carpet Extractor
Where the Polivac Predator Really Excels in Day-to-Day Use
The Polivac Predator range is all about versatility and control across a wide range of cleaning tasks. It’s commonly used for:
-
Commercial cleaning contractors managing diverse sites
-
Deep scrubbing and stripping of vinyl, concrete, terrazzo and other hard floors
-
Routine maintenance in schools, hospitals, offices and retail spaces
-
Polishing and buffing programs that demand consistent, repeatable results
-
Facilities teams needing one machine that adapts to changing floor conditions
Polivac Predator MK2 vs MK3 – When It’s Time to Step Up
The MK3 builds on the MK2’s strong foundation but offers enhanced performance and versatility for demanding commercial cleaning. Both models feature twin 1,100 W 3-stage suspension-mounted vacuum motors and HYPRO pumps rated to 2,000 PSI.
Key differences that matter on the job:
-
Power and performance: The Predator MK2 is designed for reliable, everyday carpet and upholstery cleaning, delivering consistent pressure and strong vacuum recovery for professional results. The Predator MK3 steps this up with increased overall performance with up to 600 PSI (versus up to 450 PSI for the MK2) and even higher for tile and grout cleaning with the optional Polivac spinner tool (sold separately)
-
Application and job scale: The MK2 is ideal for cleaners focused on consistent carpet extraction and upholstery work. The MK3 is better suited to contractors servicing larger commercial spaces, higher-traffic carpets and/or tile and grout cleaning.
- Weight and build: The Predator MK2 remains relatively compact and easier to transport, ideal for operators moving between sites or working in tighter environments. The MK3 retains this compact design but is slightly heavier, reflecting its higher output design and suitability for sustained, high-demand commercial cleaning.
