The Sapphire Scientific Everest 870HP is the largest machine in the Sapphire range — a 57 HP liquid-cooled, fuel-injected slide-in truckmount running to 2,500 psi with heat.
Why professionals choose it
Sapphire Scientific position the 870HP as their most powerful cleaning and extraction truckmount
Delivering serious power for the most serious cleaning and restoration professionals, the Everest 870HP is the culmination of Prochem and Sapphire Scientific's innovative engineering. Legend Brands has paired a liquid-cooled fuel-injected Kubota 4-cylinder engine with a Eurus vacuum blower to deliver truly high power, performance, and durability.
Key features
- Maximum extraction– operate with 1, 2, or even 3 wands with ease.
- Abundant hot water– patented fin-tube heat exchanger and plate coolant heat exchanger
- Four-setting thermalogic heat control
- High pressure (up to 2500 psi) with heat
- Chemical simulator - adjust chemical flow without having to trigger wand
- Nanotech Cerakote® coating lowers exhaust components’ heat levels by 30% or more.
- Economical- E-Idle system can reduce fuel consumption by up to 23%.
Two features worth understanding
Four-setting thermalogic heat control. The machine regulates solution temperature and adjusts engine speed to suit, rather than running flat out and dumping the excess. That is where the fuel efficiency comes from on a 57 HP engine.
Chemical simulator. Lets you adjust chemical flow without triggering the wand, so you set the mix at the machine instead of pulling the trigger repeatedly to check it.
Cerakote® nanotech coating on the exhaust components lowers radiated heat by more than 30 per cent, which keeps the van interior cooler and extends component life.

The Everest 870HP flyer and owner’s manual for this product used to be linked here from the manufacturer. Legend Brands has retired the document library those links pointed at and replaced it with a search tool that does not expose direct file addresses. We have removed the links rather than leave you clicking on nothing, and we have asked Legend Brands for current copies to host ourselves. If you need the manual now, ask us and we will get it for you.
Comparing the Sapphire Scientific truckmount range
All three machines are governed to the same 13 in. Hg vacuum relief setting, so their airflow figures are directly comparable. Weights below are from the owner’s manuals and are stated on the same three bases for each machine.
| Machine | Engine | Vacuum | Solution pump | Console dry | Operating weight |
| 370 EFI | 26.5 HP Kohler V-Twin EFI | 317 CFM at 13 in. Hg | 1,500 psi, 3.5 GPM | 292 kg | 717 kg with 90 gal tank |
| Apex 570 | 31 HP Kubota WG972 liquid cooled | 455 CFM at 13 in. Hg | 1,500 psi, 5.5 GPM | 464 kg | 982 kg |
| Everest 870HP | 57 HP Kubota EFI liquid cooled | 13 in. Hg at 3,580 rpm | 2,500 psi, 5.6 GPM | 576 kg | 1,195 kg |
Where the decision sits. Airflow sets drying time and how far you can run hose. Pump pressure matters for hard surface work. Around 1,000 psi is enough for tile and grout, so all three machines are capable of it — the 870HP’s 2,500 psi gives more margin on heavily soiled or textured surfaces rather than making the job possible. Liquid cooling on the 570 and 870HP sustains solution temperature under continuous load where an air-cooled engine tapers.
Weight matters before you choose a vehicle. Operating weight includes water but not accessories. Check it against your van’s payload capacity — gross vehicle weight rating minus kerb weight — before ordering, and talk to us if you are close to the limit.

Frequently asked questions
What vehicle do I need?
Work from operating weight, not console weight. Check your vehicle’s gross vehicle weight rating, subtract its kerb weight, and that is your payload capacity — the machine, tank, hoses, water, tools and chemicals all come out of it. Talk to us with your vehicle before ordering.
Who installs it?
We do, or an authorised representative by prior arrangement. Installation covers mounting, exhaust routing, plumbing and electrical, and it is not a job to hand to a general workshop.
There are warranty ramifications if it is installed incorrectly. A machine damaged by a poor installation is not a warranty claim, so arrange the install with us before the machine arrives rather than after.
Why is airflow quoted at 13 in. Hg?
Because that is the vacuum relief valve setting on these machines. Quoting CFM at a stated vacuum is what makes the figure meaningful — airflow measured at a lower vacuum will always look higher and tells you nothing about performance at the wand.
Does higher pressure mean better cleaning?
Not on carpet. Carpet cleaning happens at relatively low pressure with heat and dwell doing the work. On hard surface, around 1,000 psi is enough to clean tile and grout — higher pressure gives more margin on heavily soiled or textured surfaces, and lets you work faster, but it is not what makes the job possible.
Which manual applies to my machine?
Match the serial number on your machine to the ranges listed under Documents. Sapphire revise the manuals as the machines change, and the differences matter for parts and service.
What warranty applies?
Manufacturer warranty terms vary by component. This does not exclude, restrict or modify your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
