The Sapphire Scientific Apex 570 is a 31 HP liquid-cooled slide-in truckmount built around the patented triple-source thermal well system for consistent high heat, in the narrowest liquid-cooled console Sapphire produce.
Why professionals choose it
The COOL new standard for longevity and reliability
New Cerakote ceramic-coating lowers the heat radiation on all exhaust components by more than 30% to reduce component fatigue and extend your truckmount life—plus keep the van interior cooler. Powered by a liquid-cooled 31 HP Kubota gasoline engine, the Apex 570 uses the patented Sapphire Scientific triple-source thermal well system to deliver maximum consistent heat.
Why the narrow console matters
Sapphire describe the Apex 570 as the narrowest liquid-cooled slide-in available. At 56 cm wide it leaves working space either side in a standard van where a wider console does not — which affects how you load, how you service it, and whether hose reels fit alongside rather than behind.

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.
Service parts worth stocking
- Engine air cleaner element (36-438) — Sapphire list this element for the 570
- Throttle cable (40-031) — listed for the 370SS and 570SS
A machine off the road for a filter is an expensive way to save on a shelf item. Ask us what else is worth carrying for your build.
Part numbers
Catalogued by Legend Brands as 117582, Sapphire Apex 570 Truckmount. This is the standard build, with the 90 gallon waste tank, and it is the one CCW carries.
Legend also build an HC version, 106570, which is the same machine with the larger 120 gallon waste tank. CCW does not stock it, but we can order one in — ask us about lead time before you plan around it.
Warranty
- Extended 5 year limited warranty on heat exchanger, frame and waste tank

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.
