The controlled buffing action polishes finishes without the aggressive action that could penetrate to bare wood and cause damage.

Regular maintenance buffing extends years between complete refinishing, dramatically reducing the total cost of hardwood floor ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish Preservation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardwood floor maintenance focuses on preserving protective finish rather than aggressive cleaning that could penetrate to bare wood.

Contractors running diamond crystallization programs or multi-step stone polishing programs use the weight kit to apply the 30–50 lbs. of additional downward force those processes require. The 4-gallon tank handles extended wet-scrubbing runs on VCT, epoxy, and sealed concrete without stopping to manually apply solution. The 21\" apron covers roughly 3,000–4,000 sq. ft. per hour at a walking pace, which suits hotel lobbies, hospital corridors, and retail floors where size matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Application Details for the BMT-175-Y\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 175 RPM, pad selection determines the result. Black stripping pads remove finish at this speed; green and blue pads scrub without stripping; red spray-buff pads restore gloss between full burnish cycles. With the Unicorn Weight Kit installed, aggressive diamond pads for stone honing seat correctly — without enough downward pressure, diamond pads skate rather than cut. The B\/92-style universal clutch plate accepts most aftermarket pad drivers. The machine weighs 175 lbs. fully loaded with the weight kit, so it stays planted and tracks straight without operator effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBMT-175-Y\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Rectified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\", 17\", 21\" (thumb-screw mount)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\", 16\", 20\" (B\/92 clutch plate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnicorn Weight Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 × 10 lb. weights, mounting shaft (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolution Tank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-gal. polyethylene, chemical-resistant hose (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\" Non-Marking, Fixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-ft. 14\/3-gauge safety cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 years on motor, gearbox, and chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-boss-multi-tasker-floor-machine-bmt-175-y-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-owners-manual.pdf?v=1736360803\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMercury BMT-175-Y Owners Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-boss-multi-tasker-floor-machine-bmt-175-y-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-wiring-diagram.pdf?v=1736360801\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMercury BMT-175-Y Wiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-boss-multi-tasker-floor-machine-bmt-175-y-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-sell-sheet.pdf?v=1736360801\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMercury BMT-175-Y Sell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293812904093,"sku":"BMT-175-Y","price":2709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648902254749.webp?v=1774423627"},{"product_id":"mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-21e-21-apron-175-rpm","title":"Mercury Floor Machines H-21E Hercules Floor Machine – 21\", 175 RPM, 108 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury H-21E Hercules: 21\" Super Heavy-Duty Floor Machine at 175 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-21E is the largest apron size in the Hercules series — a 21\" machine built for industrial and institutional floors where machine weight, motor durability, and consistent pad pressure matter more than speed.

The 21\" apron at 108 lbs provides sustained downward pressure that strips finish layers, scrubs embedded soil from textured tile, and extracts surface moisture through carpet bonnets without requiring the operator to apply additional force. For facilities that have been running lighter machines — 17\" or 19\" models in the 90 lb range — the step up to 108 lbs is immediately noticeable in single-pass effectiveness. If the work environment has doorways or equipment aisles that limit machine width, the H-19E or H-17E are the narrower alternatives within the same Hercules motor platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTriple-Planetary Gearbox and Dual-Capacitor A\/C Motor in Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe triple-planetary transmission in the H-21E uses three sequential planetary gear sets to step down the motor's high-RPM output to 175 RPM at the pad. Each stage multiplies torque, so the pad receives significantly more turning force than the motor generates directly. This is the mechanical reason heavy-duty rotary machines at 175 RPM can strip floor finish that a lighter or faster machine cannot: the pad is not spinning faster, but it is pressing and turning with more force. The dual-capacitor A\/C motor adds a run capacitor to the standard start capacitor — the run capacitor keeps the motor's power factor corrected during continuous operation, reducing heat and extending motor life under the sustained loads that stripping and heavy scrubbing generate. The H-21E draws up to 15A; facilities should confirm outlet capacity (two 15A circuits recommended for extended operation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH-21E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Dual-Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 15A (2 circuits)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-Planetary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-parts-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-sell-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-wiring-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eS5JUAxFakc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMTeTltVvBA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293814771869,"sku":"H-21E","price":1989.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648911102109.webp?v=1774423863"},{"product_id":"mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-20e-20-apron-175-rpm","title":"Mercury Floor Machines H-20E Hercules Floor Machine – 20\", 175 RPM, 108 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury H-20E Hercules: 20\" Super Heavy-Duty Floor Machine at 175 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-20E is the 20\" apron model in the Hercules series — one inch narrower than the H-21E but carrying the same 108 lb machine weight, 1.5 HP dual-capacitor A\/C motor, and triple-planetary gearbox.

The H-20E sits between the H-19E (107 lbs) and H-21E (108 lbs) in weight. For facilities that have tested the H-21E and found it one inch too wide for a specific doorway or equipment bay, the H-20E provides the same motor and transmission in a machine that fits. Choosing between the H-20E and H-19E comes down to whether the facility can accommodate the extra inch of apron width — the H-20E covers slightly more floor per pass, while the H-19E at 107 lbs is marginally lighter, which matters only on ramps or stairs during transport. In terms of cleaning performance on flat floors, both machines run the same motor at the same speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDual-Capacitor Motor and Triple-Planetary Gearbox at 20\" Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same motor and gearbox platform used in the H-21E powers the H-20E. The dual-capacitor A\/C motor's run capacitor keeps the motor's power factor corrected under load, which matters most during stripping — where the pad encounters maximum resistance from the finish layer and the gearbox must sustain full torque for the duration of each pass. The triple-planetary gearbox distributes that torque evenly to the 20\" pad, so pressure remains consistent across the full pad area rather than concentrating at the center. At 108 lbs on a 20\" pad, the H-20E produces slightly higher pounds-per-square-inch than the 21\" model, which can improve single-pass effectiveness on thick or old finish layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH-20E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Dual-Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 15A (2 circuits)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-Planetary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-parts-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-sell-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-wiring-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eS5JUAxFakc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMTeTltVvBA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293814837405,"sku":"H-20E","price":1929.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648911462557.webp?v=1774423860"},{"product_id":"mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-19e-19-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed","title":"Mercury Floor Machines H-19E Hercules Floor Machine – 19\", 175 RPM, 107 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury H-19E Hercules: 19\" Super Heavy-Duty Floor Machine at 175 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-19E runs a 19\" apron at 175 RPM and weighs 107 lbs — one pound lighter than the H-20E and H-21E models, with a narrower apron that fits through standard commercial doorways.

At 107 lbs, it is also more manageable on freight elevators with tight interior dimensions. Facilities that run a 21\" Hercules in open floor areas often add an H-19E as the corridor and restroom machine, running matched motor and speed settings so that floor finish results are consistent throughout the building. If the target application is exclusively large open areas and width is not a constraint, the H-21E produces 2\" more floor coverage per pass at the same speed and motor output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTorque Delivery and Pad Pressure at 19\" and 107 lbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe triple-planetary gearbox in the H-19E distributes torque evenly across the 18\" pad driver. At 107 lbs concentrated over 19\" of pad diameter, the machine delivers pressure that exceeds what a 90 lb machine can produce regardless of pad size — the weight differential is the primary variable, not the apron width. On stripping tasks, this weight advantage over lighter floor machines means the H-19E removes finish in fewer passes, reducing chemical dwell time requirements and total floor-down time. The dual-capacitor motor sustains rated torque throughout a continuous stripping pass without the speed drop that single-capacitor motors show under peak load. This is particularly relevant on thick or multi-layer finish, where pad resistance stays high throughout the pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH-19E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e107 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Dual-Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 15A (2 circuits)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-Planetary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-parts-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-sell-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-wiring-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eS5JUAxFakc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMTeTltVvBA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293814902941,"sku":"H-19E","price":1869.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648911724701.webp?v=1774423857"},{"product_id":"mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-17e-17-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed","title":"Mercury Floor Machines H-17E Hercules Floor Machine – 17\", 175 RPM, 106 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury H-17E Hercules: 17\" Super Heavy-Duty Floor Machine at 175 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-17E is the 17\" model in the Hercules series — the narrowest apron width in the lineup at 106 lbs.

The H-17E at 106 lbs is different: it brings heavy-duty Hercules-series weight and torque to a footprint that fits through narrow service access points, restroom entries, and between fixed equipment where the 19\" models cannot operate. Facilities with this constraint — food processing plants with equipment aisles narrower than 24\", laboratories with fixed benching, or retail stockrooms with dense racking — can run the H-17E for stripping and heavy scrubbing in zones that previously required manual methods or lighter, less effective machines. The H-17E also pairs with the H-19E or H-21E in multi-machine operations where the smaller unit handles tight spaces and the larger unit covers open floor areas at matched speed and finish results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTorque and Pad Pressure on a 17\" Machine at 106 lbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe triple-planetary gearbox and 1.5 HP dual-capacitor motor in the H-17E are identical to the larger Hercules models. At 106 lbs on a 16\" pad driver, the H-17E delivers higher pounds-per-square-inch than any wider model in the series — the same weight concentrated over a smaller area results in greater downward force per unit of pad surface. This is mechanically relevant for stripping: the black stripping pad encounters finish with more localized pressure, which improves chemical-to-mechanical action at the point of contact. For facilities that run the H-17E exclusively in narrow zones, this means the machine can achieve single-pass stripping on finish that a lighter 17\" machine requires multiple passes to remove, reducing chemical usage and floor-down time proportionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH-17E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e106 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Dual-Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 15A (2 circuits)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-Planetary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-parts-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-sell-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-wiring-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eS5JUAxFakc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMTeTltVvBA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815066781,"sku":"H-17E","price":1809.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648912576669.webp?v=1774423853"},{"product_id":"mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-20e-20-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed","title":"Mercury Floor Machines L-20E Lo-Boy Floor Machine – 20\", 175 RPM, 103 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury L-20E Lo-Boy: 20\" Ultra-Quiet Floor Machine for Occupied Buildings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L-20E runs a 20\" apron at 175 RPM and weighs 103 lbs.

A standard heavy-duty floor machine at 175 RPM in a hard-surface corridor generates noise that travels through the building structure. The Lo-Boy's under-apron gearbox configuration dampens that transmission by keeping the rotating mass close to the floor rather than in the column where vibration couples to the handle frame. The result is measurable: Lo-Boy machines are consistently reported to run quieter in corridor cleaning scenarios than equivalent-speed Hercules models. If daytime cleaning is not a requirement, the Hercules H-20E at 108 lbs delivers 5 additional pounds of pad pressure for the same applications without the noise engineering premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGearbox Position and Noise Dampening Mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a conventional floor machine, the gearbox sits in the housing between the handle column and the pad assembly. Vibration from the rotating gear sets travels up the metal column directly to the operator's hands and radiates outward as airborne noise. The Lo-Boy relocates the gearbox below the apron deck, where it is enclosed by the machine's low-profile housing. The apron itself acts as a noise barrier between the rotating components and the building environment. At 103 lbs and 175 RPM, the L-20E performs the same stripping, scrubbing, and buffing tasks as the Hercules with equivalent motor output — the difference is acoustic, not mechanical. For facilities that have tried low-speed burnishers or lighter machines to reduce noise and found the cleaning results inadequate, the Lo-Boy offers a path to heavy-duty cleaning performance without the noise profile of a standard heavy machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL-20E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e103 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13–15A (2 circuits)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGearbox Location\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder the apron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-parts-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-sell-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-wiring-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qM3VNVyturk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hwNPB4Iy5N8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815165085,"sku":"L-20E","price":1789.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648913428637.webp?v=1774423877"},{"product_id":"mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machine-l-21e-21-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed","title":"Mercury Floor Machines L-21E Lo-Boy Floor Machine – 21\", 175 RPM, 105 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury L-21E Lo-Boy: 21\" Ultra-Quiet Floor Machine at 175 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L-21E is the largest apron size in the Lo-Boy series — 21\" at 175 RPM, weighing 105 lbs.

In these environments, the noise reduction benefit of the Lo-Boy gearbox design matters most: the larger the open space, the further machine noise travels, and the more disruptive standard-weight floor machines are to occupants or visitors. At 105 lbs, the L-21E is 3 lbs lighter than the H-21E Hercules (108 lbs) — a marginal difference in cleaning performance but a meaningful one for operators who move the machine frequently between floors or load it onto freight elevators. If the priority is maximum pad pressure and noise is not a constraint, the H-21E delivers 3 additional pounds over the same 21\" pad area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUnder-Apron Gearbox Design at 21\" Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lo-Boy's gearbox location under the apron provides greater noise benefit at larger apron sizes because the apron housing creates a larger acoustic enclosure around the rotating gear assembly. At 21\", the apron deck spans more surface area, giving the gearbox more physical shielding from the surrounding environment. This is why the L-21E is quieter in measured operation than a hypothetical standard-height machine with the same 21\" apron: more apron area means more enclosure. At 105 lbs and 175 RPM, the gearbox is handling the same torque load as the Hercules equivalent — the engineering difference is acoustic management, not power delivery. For facilities that run overnight cleaning and need to transition to daytime operations without changing machines, the L-21E covers the full floor area of the H-21E at lower noise output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL-21E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13–15A (2 circuits)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGearbox Location\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder the apron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-parts-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-sell-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-wiring-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qM3VNVyturk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hwNPB4Iy5N8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815197853,"sku":"L-21E","price":1789.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648913526941.webp?v=1774423880"},{"product_id":"mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-19e-19-apron-175-rpm","title":"Mercury Floor Machines L-19E Lo-Boy Floor Machine – 19\", 175 RPM, 102 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury L-19E Lo-Boy: 19\" Ultra-Quiet Floor Machine for Occupied Facilities\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L-19E is the 19\" model in the Lo-Boy series — 102 lbs, 175 RPM, with the same under-apron gearbox design that defines the Lo-Boy's acoustic advantage over conventional floor machines.

Hospital patient corridors, hotel hallways between guest rooms, school classroom wings, and corporate office service paths frequently have 36\"–38\" clearance that a 20\" or 21\" machine requires maneuvering to navigate. The L-19E passes through those spaces with room on each side, allowing continuous runs without pausing to reposition. For facilities with varied zone widths, pairing the L-19E with the L-21E provides full building coverage at matched speed: the smaller machine handles the restricted zones, the larger machine handles open areas, and finish results are uniform throughout because both run at 175 RPM on the same motor platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUnder-Apron Gearbox and 102 lb Weight at 19\" Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 102 lbs on an 18\" pad driver, the L-19E delivers higher pounds-per-square-inch than the L-20E or L-21E — the same principle applies across all floor machine sizes: weight concentrated over a smaller pad area results in greater localized pressure. For the Lo-Boy series, this means the L-19E is not a reduced-capability machine in narrow zones — it is a higher-pressure machine in a narrower footprint. The under-apron gearbox provides the same noise reduction benefit at 19\" as at 20\" and 21\": vibration from the rotating gear assembly stays within the apron housing rather than coupling to the handle column. Operators moving between wide and narrow zones during the same shift can run the L-19E in both, switching between a broad pass in open areas and tight-turn maneuvering in corridors without changing machines or pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL-19E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13–15A (2 circuits)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGearbox Location\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder the apron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qM3VNVyturk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hwNPB4Iy5N8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815263389,"sku":"L-19E","price":1749.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648914215069.webp?v=1774423874"},{"product_id":"mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-15e-15-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed","title":"Mercury Floor Machines H-15E Hercules Floor Machine – 15\", 175 RPM, 104 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury H-15E Hercules: 15\" Super Heavy-Duty Floor Machine at 175 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-15E is the narrowest model in the Hercules series — a 15\" apron at 175 RPM, weighing 104 lbs.

The H-15E exists for the zones those machines cannot reach — access corridors between equipment in manufacturing plants, server room aisles, laboratory bench passageways, walk-in cooler interiors, and any environment where a 17\" machine is 2 inches too wide to operate without contact risk. At 104 lbs, the H-15E carries more weight than standard-duty 15\" machines (typically 75–85 lbs), so despite its narrow pad, it delivers meaningfully more downward force per pass. This weight advantage is the primary reason to choose the H-15E over a lighter narrow machine: stripping and scrubbing effectiveness in tight spaces is limited more by machine weight and torque than by pad width, and the H-15E provides both where alternatives do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePad Pressure, Torque, and the Triple-Planetary Gearbox at 15\" Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 104 lbs on a 14\" pad driver, the H-15E delivers the highest pounds-per-square-inch of any model in the Hercules series — the same machine weight concentrated over the smallest pad area. This localized pressure is the mechanical basis for the H-15E's effectiveness in stripping: the pad contacts finish with more force per square inch than a 19\" or 21\" machine at the same weight, which means chemical-to-mechanical action at the finish surface is more efficient per pass. The triple-planetary gearbox sustains the 1.5 HP motor's torque output to the 14\" pad throughout each pass, and the dual-capacitor A\/C motor prevents the heat buildup under sustained load that single-capacitor motors experience in extended stripping sessions. For facilities that have historically relied on manual methods or consumer-grade machines in these narrow spaces, the H-15E is a meaningful capability upgrade in a compatible footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH-15E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e104 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Dual-Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 15A (2 circuits)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-Planetary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-parts-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-sell-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/6089\/4941\/files\/mercury-hercules-wiring-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eS5JUAxFakc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMTeTltVvBA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815427229,"sku":"H-15E","price":1769.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648914968733.webp?v=1774423850"},{"product_id":"mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-17e-17-apron-175-rpm","title":"Mercury Floor Machines L-17E Lo-Boy Floor Machine – 17\", 175 RPM, 99 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury L-17E Lo-Boy: 17\" Ultra-Quiet Floor Machine at 175 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L-17E is the 17\" model in the Lo-Boy series — 99 lbs at 175 RPM, with the gearbox positioned under the apron for noise reduction.

Hospitals with narrow patient wing corridors, hotels with tightly spaced room doors, corporate office buildings with dense cubicle aisles, and laboratories with fixed benching all present environments where the 17\" footprint is the widest machine that fits. In these zones, a conventional 17\" machine at 85–95 lbs still strips and scrubs, but with less downward force per pass. The L-17E at 99 lbs adds 4–14 lbs of machine weight over those alternatives, which translates directly to more effective single-pass scrubbing or stripping. If the same facility has open areas where the L-21E or L-20E operates, the L-17E runs at the same motor platform and speed — finish results match across zones without adjusting technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUnder-Apron Gearbox at 17\" and Noise Reduction Mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lo-Boy's gearbox is enclosed within the apron housing rather than mounted in the neck or handle column. In conventional floor machines, the gearbox sits above the pad assembly and vibration from the rotating gear sets couples to the metal handle frame, radiating noise upward and outward. Moving the gearbox below the apron deck eliminates that transmission path: the rotating mass stays enclosed in the lowest part of the machine, and the apron housing absorbs rather than amplifies vibration. At 17\" — the smallest apron size in the Lo-Boy series — the acoustic enclosure is smaller than in the 19\", 20\", and 21\" models, but the fundamental noise reduction mechanism is the same. For facilities that have tried conventional 17\" machines and found the noise unacceptable during occupied hours, the L-17E provides the same pad width at measurably lower operating noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL-17E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Dual-Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13–15A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGearbox Location\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder the apron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ft, 14\/3 gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\" Non-Marking Retractable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7174\/7813\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-17e-17-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-Owners-manual.pdf?v=1725830339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7174\/7813\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-17e-17-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-wiring-diagram.pdf?v=1725830338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7174\/7813\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-17e-17-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-parts-list.pdf?v=1725830339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7174\/7813\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-17e-17-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-Sell-sheet.pdf?v=1725830340\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qM3VNVyturk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hwNPB4Iy5N8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815459997,"sku":"L-17E","price":1669.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648914935965.webp?v=1774423870"},{"product_id":"mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-13e-13-apron-175-rpm","title":"Mercury Floor Machines H-13E Hercules Floor Machine – 13\", 175 RPM, 103 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury H-13E Hercules: 13\" Super Heavy-Duty Floor Machine at 175 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-13E is the narrowest model in the Hercules series — a 13\" apron at 175 RPM, weighing 103 lbs.

Standard-duty 13\" floor machines (typically 75–85 lbs) access the same width but deliver less downward force and less gearbox torque. The H-13E at 103 lbs brings Hercules-series weight and triple-planetary torque to a footprint that no competing heavy-duty machine in the lineup can match for narrowness. For facilities that currently use manual scrubbing or consumer-grade machines in these confined zones, the H-13E produces results — single-pass stripping, effective chemical scrubbing, professional gloss buffing — that manual methods cannot achieve at the same labor cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePad Pressure, Triple-Planetary Gearbox, and the 13\" Advantage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 103 lbs on the narrowest pad in the Hercules series, the H-13E produces the highest localized pad pressure of any model in the lineup. The same weight distributed over a 13\" pad area results in more force per square inch than a 19\" or 21\" machine at 107–108 lbs. This is the key mechanical basis for the H-13E's stripping effectiveness in confined zones: the black pad contacts finish with maximum localized force relative to its size, which, combined with the triple-planetary gearbox's torque multiplication, produces single-pass finish removal on most commercial-grade wax systems. The dual-capacitor A\/C motor prevents the heat accumulation under sustained load that single-capacitor motors experience — relevant in confined spaces where the machine may run at maximum load continuously due to tight turns and frequent direction changes requiring the motor to maintain torque throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH-13E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e103 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Dual-Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-Planetary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21\" x 21\" x 48\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ft, 14\/3 gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-13e-13-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-operation-manual.pdf?v=1736344504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-13e-13-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-wiring-Diagram.pdf?v=1736344503\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-13e-13-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-Part-list.pdf?v=1736344504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-hercules-super-heavy-duty-floor-machine-h-13e-13-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-Sell-sheet.pdf?v=1736344504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eS5JUAxFakc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMTeTltVvBA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815558301,"sku":"H-13E","price":1709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648915493021.webp?v=1774423847"},{"product_id":"mercury-boss-1-heavy-duty-floor-machine-with-interchangeable-aprons-175-rpm","title":"Mercury Floor Machines BOSS-1 Floor Machine – 1.5 HP, 175 RPM, Aprons 13\"–21\"","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBOSS-1 Floor Machine — Single-Machine Coverage Across Five Pad Sizes with Triple-Planetary Transmission\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mercury BOSS-1 replaces the need for multiple floor machines by accepting five apron sizes — 13\", 15\", 17\", 19\", and 21\" — via a thumb-screw mount that swaps in under a minute.

Facility maintenance departments in municipal buildings and universities with mixed floor types (VCT corridors, terrazzo lobbies, sealed concrete utility areas) use it to consolidate equipment inventory without sacrificing pad size flexibility. The 5-year motor, gearbox, and chassis warranty matters most to in-house maintenance teams amortizing equipment cost over multi-year service schedules rather than leasing on annual contracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBOSS-1 RPM, Pad Pressure, and Compatible Pads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BOSS-1 runs at 175 RPM — the standard low-speed range for spray buffing, scrubbing, and stripping on VCT, terrazzo, resilient flooring, and sealed concrete. At this speed and weight (90–107 lbs depending on apron), pad pressure is approximately 40–55 lbs depending on apron size selected. Compatible with standard round floor pads in each apron diameter: use black or brown pads for stripping, green for scrubbing, red for spray buffing, and white or tan for polishing. Pads are sold separately. For burnishing applications requiring 1,000+ RPM, the BOSS-1 is not the appropriate machine — see Mercury's high-speed burnisher line. Optional Unicorn Weight Kit (5 × 10 lb weights, model UWK) adds downward pad pressure for heavy-strip applications. Optional 4-gallon polyethylene solution tank (model SST-4) with chemical-resistant hose enables wet scrubbing without a separate dispenser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBOSS-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Rectified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrush Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApron Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\", 15\", 17\", 19\", 21\" (thumb-screw mount)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrush Drive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal Clutch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90–107 lbs (varies by apron selection)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Cord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ft, 14\/3-gauge safety cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48\" adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Weight Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnicorn Weight Kit — 5 × 10 lb weights with mounting shaft (model UWK)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Solution Tank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-gal polyethylene with chemical-resistant hose (model SST-4)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-year on motor, gearbox, and chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-boss-heavy-duty-floor-machine-with-interchangeable-aprons-boss-1-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-owners-manual.pdf?v=1736344883\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOSS-1 Owner's Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-boss-heavy-duty-floor-machine-with-interchangeable-aprons-boss-1-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-wiring-Diagram.pdf?v=1736344883\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-boss-heavy-duty-floor-machine-with-interchangeable-aprons-boss-1-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-parts-list.pdf?v=1736344883\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParts List\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-boss-heavy-duty-floor-machine-with-interchangeable-aprons-boss-1-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-sell-sheet.pdf?v=1736344883\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815722141,"sku":"BOSS-1","price":1709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648916377757.webp?v=1774423837"},{"product_id":"mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-15e-15-apron-175-rpm","title":"Mercury Floor Machines L-15E Lo-Boy Floor Machine – 15\", 175 RPM, 96 lbs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMercury L-15E Lo-Boy: 15\" Ultra-Quiet Floor Machine for Confined Occupied Spaces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L-15E is the 15\" model in the Lo-Boy series — 96 lbs at 175 RPM with the gearbox positioned under the apron for noise reduction.

Walk-in cooler interiors with 16\" effective working width, laboratory equipment aisles, narrow hotel service corridors, and server room access lanes are the environments the L-15E addresses. A standard 15\" floor machine in these zones handles the width but generates noise that the Lo-Boy design eliminates. For facilities that already run larger Lo-Boy models in wider areas and need a matched-speed machine for the tightest zones, the L-15E operates at the same 175 RPM on the same motor platform — finish results and scrubbing depth are consistent throughout the building regardless of which Lo-Boy model handles which zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUnder-Apron Gearbox at 15\" Scale and Pad Pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 96 lbs on a 14\" pad driver, the L-15E delivers higher pounds-per-square-inch than any wider Lo-Boy model. The under-apron gearbox provides the same acoustic benefit at 15\" as at larger sizes: the rotating gear assembly stays enclosed in the apron housing rather than coupling vibration to the handle frame. The slightly smaller apron housing at 15\" creates a more compact enclosure around the gearbox than in the 19\", 20\", and 21\" models, but the transmission of noise through the handle is reduced by the same mechanical principle. For facilities comparing the L-15E to the H-15E Hercules: the H-15E weighs 104 lbs (8 lbs heavier) and has a triple-planetary gearbox for maximum torque; the L-15E is quieter in operation. If the facility has no noise constraint, the H-15E provides more stripping force; if occupied-hours cleaning is required, the L-15E is the correct selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL-15E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApron Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP A\/C Dual-Capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13–15A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGearbox Location\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder the apron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary Brush Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\" Non-Marking Fixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ft, 14\/3 gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-15e-15-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-Owners-manual.pdf?v=1736345209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-15e-15-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-wiring-diagram.pdf?v=1736345208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWiring Diagram\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-15e-15-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-parts-list.pdf?v=1736345209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e ·\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/mercury-lo-boy-ultra-quiet-floor-machines-l-15e-15-apron-1-5-hp-motor-175-rpm-brush-speed-Sell-sheet.pdf?v=1736345208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSell Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qM3VNVyturk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hwNPB4Iy5N8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Floor Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46293815754909,"sku":"L-15E","price":1589.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38648916508829.webp?v=1774423867"},{"product_id":"hawk-13-inch-heavy-duty-deluxe-professional-floor-machine-175-rpm","title":"Hawk Enterprises F13-01-DX Deluxe Floor Machine – 175 RPM, 1.5 HP, 4-Gal Tank, 87 lb","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCompact Wet Scrubbing Power With the Hawk 13\" Heavy Duty Deluxe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hawk F13-01-DX 13\" Heavy Duty Deluxe Floor Machine delivers 1.5 HP dual-capacitor AC power at 175 RPM through triple-planetary 10:1 helical-cut industrial gears.

The F91-20-01's floating head WD keeps the pad face parallel to the surface regardless of minor grade changes, distributing pressure evenly across the full 18-inch brush. This eliminates the missed spots and uneven gloss lines that appear after buffing on slightly crowned or wavy VCT installations. Facilities with aging vinyl floors, outdoor pavers, and terrazzo with worn grout joints use the floating head design to achieve consistent results without multiple directional passes to cover the missed sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRPM and Pad Selection at 175 RPM for the HD Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 175 RPM the F91-20-01 accepts the same stripping, scrubbing, and buffing pads as any 175 RPM machine. The HD 10:1 gear handles standard facility strip-and-refinish cycles effectively. When annual stripping on floors with 8 or more finish coats is required, compare the F91 HD against the F92 XHD (11:1)—the extra gear reduction provides more torque per pad pound-force, reducing passes on thick buildup. For typical commercial floors with 4–6 coats, the F91 HD provides all the torque needed at 175 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue (F91-20-01)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue (F91-20-01-DX)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF91-20-01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF91-20-01-DX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGear Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP dual cap AC, 66 frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP dual cap AC, 66 frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmp Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.7 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.7 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNoise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Cover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ft 12-3 industrial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ft 12-3 industrial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-documents\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification Sheet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/hawk-20-inch-glide-freedom-heavy-duty-professional-floor-machine-175-rpm-specs-sheet.pdf?v=1736426160\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eF91-20-01 Glide Freedom HD Spec Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-videos\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGlide Freedom HD in Action\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j6Nrwlyy_CQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin-top:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3b7S2S_a7RA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7174\/7813\/files\/hawk-20-inch-glide-freedom-heavy-duty-professional-floor-machine-175-rpm-specs-sheet.pdf?v=1733222585\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHawk F91-20-01 20-Inch Glide Freedom HD Floor Machine – 1.5 HP, 175 RPM, 10:1 Gear Spec Sheet (PDF)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawk Enterprises","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":46379441160349,"sku":"F91-20-01","price":1489.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DX Deluxe","offer_id":46379441193117,"sku":"F91-20-01-DX","price":1882.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38798854717597.webp?v=1775142198"},{"product_id":"hawk-20-inch-heavy-duty-deluxe-professional-floor-machine-175-rpm","title":"Hawk F20-01-DX 20-Inch Heavy Duty Deluxe Floor Machine – 1.5 HP, 175 RPM, 4-Gal Tank","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHawk F20-01-DX Heavy Duty Deluxe 20-Inch Floor Machine with 4-Gallon Solution Tank\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hawk F20-01-DX Heavy Duty Deluxe combines the F20-01 HD floor machine with a complete accessory package: a 4-gallon solution tank, splash guard, chrome motor cover, and premium pad driver.

Hospitals and schools using daily damp-scrub programs on VCT run the DX configuration to apply neutral cleaner and scrub in one pass instead of two. The 4-gallon capacity covers approximately 4,000–6,000 square feet of VCT on a standard dilution before refilling, making it suitable for large open floors without mid-shift stops. The chrome motor cover handles the chemical mist generated by wet scrubbing better than powder-coat alternatives, extending motor housing life in high-frequency wet operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTriple-Planetary Gear Advantage at 175 RPM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA triple-planetary gear uses three satellite gears rotating around a central sun gear. This distributes torque load across three contact points simultaneously, reducing the force on each individual gear tooth versus a single-stage spur gear. At 97 lbs of downward pad force at 175 RPM, the triple-planetary 10:1 gear handles sustained torque without the gear wear that causes single-stage drives to develop backlash over time. The helical tooth cut produces quieter mesh than straight-cut gears, contributing to the 66 dB noise rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF20-01-DX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP dual cap AC, 66 frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-planetary 10:1 helical-cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmp Draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNoise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66 dB (GS42 compliant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115–230V, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ft 12-3 SJT with molded plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolution Tank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 gallons (DX package)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-documents\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOperator Manual and Specification Sheet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/hawk-20-inch-heavy-duty-deluxe-professional-floor-machine-manual.pdf?v=1736426459\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eF20-01-DX Owner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/hawk-20-inch-heavy-duty-deluxe-professional-floor-machine-specs.pdf?v=1736426448\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eF20-01-DX Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7174\/7813\/files\/hawk-20-inch-heavy-duty-deluxe-professional-floor-machine-manual.pdf?v=1732012359\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHawk F20-01-DX 20-Inch Heavy Duty Deluxe Floor Machine – 1.5 HP, 175 RPM, 4-Gal Tank User Manual (PDF)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7174\/7813\/files\/hawk-20-inch-heavy-duty-deluxe-professional-floor-machine-specs.pdf?v=1732012358\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHawk F20-01-DX 20-Inch Heavy Duty Deluxe Floor Machine – 1.5 HP, 175 RPM, 4-Gal Tank Spec Sheet (PDF)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawk Enterprises","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46379441389725,"sku":"F20-01-DX","price":1682.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/product-38798855700637.webp?v=1775142259"},{"product_id":"hawk-20-inch-heavy-duty-professional-floor-machine-175-rpm","title":"Hawk F20-01 20-Inch Heavy Duty Floor Machine – 1.5 HP, 175 RPM, Triple-Planetary","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHawk F20-01 20-Inch Heavy Duty Floor Machine with Triple-Planetary Drive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hawk F20-01 HD runs a 1.5 HP dual capacitor motor through a triple-planetary XHD 11:1 helical-cut gear at 175 RPM on a 20-inch pad.

Janitorial contractors and in-house facility teams use it for routine scrubbing of resilient floors using red or green pads that remove soil and light marks without cutting into the finish coat. For periodic stripping — removing built-up finish layers before recoating — operators fit a black stripping pad, where the NA 20SS's 96-lb weight applies the mechanical pressure needed to break the finish bond without requiring excessive chemical stripper concentration. Schools, hospitals, public buildings, and commercial facilities with high foot traffic and resilient flooring are the primary operating environments. The machine is also used in light industrial and warehouse settings where concrete floors require regular maintenance scrubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e175 RPM Pad Selection and Operator Fatigue\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 175 RPM, pad color is a reliable guide to abrasiveness and task assignment. Black pads are the most aggressive — used for stripping old finish coats; they work with the machine's 96-lb weight to mechanically shear through multiple layers. Red pads clean and lightly buff without removing the finish coat, suitable for regular interim cleaning between strip-and-recoat cycles. Green pads fall between red and black — moderate abrasion for scrubbing soiled floors that do not yet need stripping. Because the NA 20SS's 96 lbs of machine weight handles pad pressure mechanically, operators do not need to bear down on the handle, reducing fatigue during extended scrubbing sessions. The handle-mounted controls and balanced drive keep the machine tracking straight, so operators expend effort guiding rather than correcting the machine's path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNA 20SS (Part No. 8025230)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrush Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115V, 60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual planetary steel gears\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Cord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShampoo Tank (optional)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0 US gallons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-steel throughout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46\" H × 26\" L × 21\" W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/NA-20SS-Floor-Machines-Product-Spec-Sheet.pdf?v=1746814155\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/om-naxx-r.pdf?v=1746814155\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nacecare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46766697873565,"sku":"8025230","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/8025230-NA-20SS.webp?v=1746814211"},{"product_id":"tornado-brute-force-20-inch-floor-machine","title":"Tornado Brute Force 20\" Floor Machine – 97564B, 175 RPM, 1.5 HP, 75 Ft Cord","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBrute Force 97564B Floor Machine — 175 RPM, 20\", Triple Planetary Gears\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tornado Brute Force 20\" (model 97564B) uses a 1.5 HP motor with triple planetary steel gears to drive a 20-inch rotary disc at 175 RPM.

For confined areas with frequent directional changes, the 17-inch 97562B's narrower profile is easier to maneuver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrute Force 97564B Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97564B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning path\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGear system\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple planetary steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHousing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-density polyethylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e67 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e104.5 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad holder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTL19; retainer F44P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolution tank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 gal, optional (F91P)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/BruteForceSeries-FloorMachines_OneSheet.pdf?v=1750173124\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSpec Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/Brute_Force_Series_Floor_Machine_Manual.pdf?v=1750173124\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eManual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tornado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46939128365213,"sku":"97564B","price":1069.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/tornado-brute-force-20-inch-floor-burnisher-98482b_1200x1200_2_1.webp?v=1754757276"},{"product_id":"tornado-brute-force-17-175-rpm-floor-machine","title":"Tornado Brute Force 17\" Floor Machine – 97562B, 175 RPM, 1.5 HP, 75 Ft Cord","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBrute Force 97562B Floor Machine — 175 RPM, 17\", Triple Planetary Gears\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tornado Brute Force 17\" (model 97562B) delivers 1.5 HP through triple planetary steel gears at 175 RPM on a 17-inch rotary disc.

The triple planetary gearbox provides the sustained high-torque output required for stripping without the gear wear that direct-drive transmissions accumulate under continuous load.

At 175 RPM with black stripping pads, it delivers sustained high-torque stripping output without the gear wear that accumulates in direct-drive transmissions under continuous load — the triple planetary gearbox distributes torque across three gear sets simultaneously. Rotationally molded polyethylene housing reduces vibration from the 1.5 HP motor to the handle, which matters on extended stripping runs where operators work the machine for multiple hours in a single session.

At 175 RPM the 1 HP motor provides the torque to scrub, strip, and polish with the appropriate pad — the smaller motor is appropriately sized for the reduced pad area; a 1.5 HP motor on a 13\" pad would be over-specified and add unnecessary weight to a compact machine. All-chrome metal housing resists cleaning chemical corrosion that is frequent in restroom cleaning environments where the machine contacts acid bowl cleaners, quaternary disinfectants, and floor stripper. Four-inch non-marking wheels give the C131-7 a tighter turning radius than the 5\" wheels on larger machines, allowing complete passes in confined spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eC131-7 vs. NM171HD — Compact Metal vs. 17\" Millennium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C131-7 at 13\" and the NM171HD at 17\" serve different size constraints.

The C131-7 is also 14 lbs lighter than the NM171HD (95 vs. 109 lbs), an advantage in multi-story buildings where a machine must be carried up stairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC131-7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRPM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 HP (X8981)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple planetary drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHousing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-metal, high-polish chrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-chrome 1.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo 4\" non-marking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 year parts and labor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/PF_Classic-Floor_Spec.pdf?v=1751042044\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/X8692-Classic-171-C202.pdf?v=1751042044\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideos\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Powr-Flite 13\\\" classic metal floor machine overview src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZH2hFrwSESg\" height=\"480\" width=\"854\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Powr-Flite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46967325622429,"sku":"C131-7","price":1289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8112\/2717\/files\/c131-7_freeshipping.webp?v=1782395448"},{"product_id":"tornado-m-series-17-inch-175-rpm-floor-machine-97590-17-in","title":"Tornado M-Series 17 in Floor Machine – 97590, 175 RPM","description":"\u003ch2\u003e97590 Floor Machine — Built for Strip-and-Recoat and Burnish Routes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertain environments can exact a heavy toll on even the most ruggedly designed cleaning equipment.
