Portable laser cleaning machine

Handheld & Backpack Laser Cleaner for On-Site Work

Take the laser to the job. Our 100–300W handheld and backpack cleaners remove rust, paint and oil without grit or chemicals — cordless enough for service calls, ladders and tight spaces, and simple enough for an operator to pick up in minutes.

Why portable

Built to clean where the work actually is

A portable laser cleaner turns surface prep into a service you can carry to the customer — no fixed booth, no media handling, no return trips to a fixed line.

Mobile by design

Carry it to the site, the yard or the rooftop. Cordless and battery-ready units free crews from a fixed power drop.

One machine, many jobs

Switch between rust, paint and oil removal on the same unit — fewer tools to buy, move and maintain.

Low learning curve

Set the parameters, point and clean. Most operators are productive within minutes, with training videos for the rest.

No media to manage

No grit, beads or solvents — so there is nothing to buy in, contain or dispose of after the job.

Kinder to the substrate

Energy is tuned to the contaminant layer, limiting impact on thin metal and detailed parts — actual result depends on material and settings.

A billable service

Offer on-site rust, paint and oil removal as a service line — the portability is what makes the business model work.

LCB100-300W · Backpack

Worn on the back, hands free to clean

The backpack series puts the whole system on the operator's shoulders, leaving both hands on the cleaning head. It is built for walk-and-clean work — moving along a fence line, hull or steel frame without dragging a cabinet behind you.

  • 100–300W pulsed fiber laser
  • Battery-powered, cordless mobility
  • Walk-and-clean along long surfaces
  • Air-cooled, no water loop to manage

A wheeled case you set down and go

The handheld series packs the laser source into a rugged wheeled case with a lightweight cleaning gun on a cable. Roll it to the spot, set it down and clean — well suited to bench work, detailed parts and shop-floor service.

  • 100–300W pulsed fiber laser
  • Rugged wheeled case, grab-and-go
  • Precise control on detailed parts
  • Mains or battery power options

Backpack vs handheld

Which portable form factor fits your work?

Both run the same 100–300W pulsed laser and clean the same contaminants. The difference is how you carry and move the system on the job.

Where it works

Made for the awkward jobs

Portability is not a nice-to-have when the surface will not come to you. These are the situations a backpack or handheld cleaner handles that a fixed cabinet cannot.

On-site service

Clean at the customer's yard, plant or site — no shipping parts back and forth.

Work at height

Carry it up a ladder or scaffold to reach steelwork, tanks and structures.

Tight & confined spaces

Reach recesses, seams and corners a booth-based setup cannot.

Mixed contaminants

Switch between rust, paint and oil on one visit.

Starting a laser cleaning service?

A portable laser cleaner is a low-overhead way to launch a mobile rust, paint and oil removal business — no booth, no consumable supply chain, and a service you can quote per job. We help new operators model the numbers and get productive fast with setup guidance and training videos.

Portable series at a glance

Cleaning speed depends on material, contaminant thickness, laser power, scanning width and operator setup, so it is confirmed on your own sample. The platform parameters below are fixed by series.

The honest answer

What determines your cleaning speed

On portable work the limiting factor is often access and contamination, not raw power. We confirm a realistic rate on your material rather than promising a fixed figure.

  • Contaminant type & thickness — light rust and thin paint clear faster than heavy build-up
  • Substrate — thin metal and alloy need controlled energy, which affects pace
  • Scanning width — wider scan covers more area per second on open surfaces
  • Access & position — height, tight spaces and angle change real throughput
  • Passes needed — stubborn layers may take more than one pass
  • Operator familiarity — a trained operator holds a steady, even rate
How to assess your job
  • What you clean (rust / paint / oil)
  • Material and rough thickness
  • Typical job size and frequency
  • On-site, at height or bench
  • Power available (mains or off-grid)
  • A representative sample part

Send these with a sample and we report a measured rate for your material — no fixed catalogue figure.

Safe operation

Safety & compliance

Portable does not mean unregulated — the same Class 4 safety practice applies on site as in a workshop.

Eye protection

Wavelength-rated goggles for the operator and bystanders.

Site control

Cordon the work zone in public or shared areas.

Fume capture

Extraction or ventilation appropriate to the location.

Operator training

Trained operators following a safe operating procedure.

Laser cleaning uses a high-power (Class 4) laser. Operators should follow laser-safety practice and local regulations; requirements vary by country, so confirm what applies where you operate.

Before you order

Portable laser cleaner questions, answered straight

How long does the battery last on the backpack unit?
Battery runtime is sized to your shift and depends on the power setting and how continuously you clean. Rather than quote a single figure, we configure the battery to your typical working pattern — tell us your shift length and job mix.
Do operators need a licence to use it?
Laser cleaning requires sensible safety practice, and licensing or registration rules vary by country and region. We provide safety guidance and training material, but you should check the requirements where you operate before taking on work.
How much does it draw, and can it run off-grid?
The backpack series runs on battery for cordless work; the handheld series offers mains or battery. Power draw is modest at 100–300W — we provide the spec so you can plan mains, battery or a small generator.
Is it really cordless and battery-powered?
The backpack series (LCB100-300W) runs on battery for cordless, walk-and-clean work. The handheld series (LC100-300W) offers mains or battery power depending on configuration. We size the battery and runtime to your typical shift on the quote.
How long does it take an operator to learn?
Most operators are cleaning within minutes once the parameters are set for the job. We provide setup guidance and training videos so a new operator can get productive without specialist laser experience.
Can one machine remove rust, paint and oil?
Yes — the same pulsed unit handles rust, paint and oil by adjusting settings to the contaminant. How fast and how clean depends on the layer thickness, material, laser power and operator setup, which is why we test your sample first.
Backpack or handheld — which should I choose?
Choose the backpack for walk-and-clean work, height and sites away from power. Choose the handheld wheeled case for bench work, detailed parts and repeat shop-floor jobs. Both run the same 100–300W pulsed laser — see the comparison above.
Can I test it on my own parts first?
Send a representative sample and we clean it on the recommended portable unit, then share the result, settings and cycle data so you can decide with evidence. Start on the contact page.
