TM3 CRB DETAILS
The TM3 is an Austrian-built, 10" CRB designed specifically for stairs, area rugs, and tight residential spaces where a full-size machine simply won't fit or won't maneuver. At 35 lbs it's light enough to carry up a flight of stairs without breaking stride — which is exactly why contractors running heavy residential work keep one alongside a larger machine.
Same Austrian stainless steel construction and Renovator catch tray system as the rest of the line. Where the TM3 earns its place is precision — getting into hallways, landings, closets, and stair treads with the same professional-grade agitation you'd expect on an open commercial floor.

FAQ
FAQ
What is the difference between the Austrian machines and the CRB-Clean models?
The Austrian-built units are the original, industry-pioneering CRB machines known for their unmatched build quality, long-term durability, and refined engineering. They feature precision-machined components, stronger motors, splash-resistant housings, and a track record of 20–30+ years of performance in professional environments.
If you want the highest level of durability, the smoothest operation, and the most proven CRB platform on the market, the Austrian models are the premium choice.
What surfaces and applications can the CRB handle?
- Encapsulation (VLM) carpet cleaning
- Dry compound cleaning
- Pre-scrubbing before hot water extraction
- Pile lifting and grooming
- Deep dry soil removal with Renovator trays
- Certain hard-surface scrubbing (with proper brushes and chemistry)
It’s a true multi-purpose machine for everyday professional work.
What size TM machine machine do I need?
- TM3 (10") – best for tight residential spaces and stairs
- TM4 (15") – ideal for residential and small-to-medium commercial jobs
- TM5 (20") – best for large, open commercial areas & big residential jobs
What brushes should I use, and when should I switch them?
You’ll receive standard blue brushes, which are excellent for most residential and commercial synthetic carpets. Optional brush types are available if you need softer, stiffer, or specialty brushes for different surfaces.
How do Renovator trays improve my cleaning results?
Renovator trays attach to the front and/or back of the CRB to capture sand, debris, hair, and dry soil removed by the brushes.
Benefits include:
- Massive dry soil removal before chemistry is applied
- Cleaner traffic lanes
- Enhanced encapsulation results
- Improved carpet appearance and longevity
You’ll often be shocked by how much material the trays catch.
Is the CRB easy to learn and operate?
Yes, it is known for being:
- Very simple to operate
- Easy to train employees on
- Reliable due to minimal electronics
- Quick to set up, break down, and clean
With the included BONUS eBook, even new cleaners can master the CRB process quickly.
How does it into VLM and encapsulation cleaning?
The CRB is one of the most effective machines for VLM cleaning:
- Dual brush agitation evenly works encap detergent into fibers
- Soil is suspended and removed with post-vacuuming
- Renovator trays remove dry soil before wet cleaning
- Fast-drying, ideal for commercial maintenance
- Perfect for offering “dry in under an hour” services
How does the CRB fit into traditional hot water extraction cleaning?
They are invaluable add-ons for truckmount and portable HWE cleaners.
- The superior agitation makes it the perfect pre-scrubbing tool
- You can also use it for pile lifting and grooming
- Improves appearance, drying time, and overall results
Is there an option for increased cleaning width?
Yes. With the optional tandem bar accessory, two units can be linked together for increased productivity on large-scale projects. (*Please note the TM3 does not have this capability)
When will my order ship out?
Most orders placed before 1pm EST ship the same business day. Delivery typically takes 2–4 days depending on your location. Tracking will be provided as soon as your unit ships.
