Industrial-Grade 13" Scrubbing With the Hawk XHD Floor Machine
The Hawk F23-01 13" Extra Heavy Duty Professional Floor Machine delivers 1.5 HP dual-capacitor AC power through triple-planetary 10:1 helical-cut gears at a controlled 165 RPM. At 87 lb with a compact 13" pad driver, it cleans in spaces a larger machine cannot reach while maintaining the torque needed for stripping, polishing, and surface prep on VCT, concrete, and terrazzo. Operating at 66 dB GS42-compliant levels, this machine is suited for daytime use in occupied facilities.
F23-01 Motor and Gear Specifications
1.5 HP, 66-frame dual-capacitor AC motor — draws 5.3 amps and maintains consistent torque throughout long cleaning shifts without overheating
Triple-planetary 10:1 helical-cut industrial gears — smooth power transfer to the 13" pad driver at steady 165 RPM under load
Powder-coated all-steel frame — welded construction at 87 lb provides a rigid platform that resists flex on uneven floors
115-230V, 50/60 Hz power input — dual voltage capability accommodates both US and international facilities without converter adapters
50 ft 12-3 SJT power cord with molded plug — extends cleaning range across large rooms without frequent outlet changes
Commercial and Industrial Applications
The 13" XHD is the right size for restrooms, elevator lobbies, stairwells, and any area where a 17" or 20" machine cannot maneuver. At 165 RPM, it strips floor finish, scrubs grout lines, and prepares surfaces for recoating. Noise-sensitive environments like hospitals, schools, and hotels benefit from the 66 dB operation that meets GS42 standards. Optional weights allow additional down-pressure when stripping heavy buildup. The machine is available in 13", 15", 17", and 20" sizes for teams that need a matched fleet.
Compliance and Package Contents
The F23-01 is UL/CUL listed and GS42 compliant at 66 dB average. The machine ships with a chrome steel handle featuring variable lock position, dual steel triggers with thumb safety switch, vinyl-dipped foam grips, and non-marking 1" x 5" ball bearing wheels. An optional 4-gallon solution tank is available for wet scrubbing applications.
What is the difference between the Hawk F23-01 XHD and the F13-01 HD?
The F23-01 (HP1513-XHD) uses extra-heavy-duty 10:1 helical-cut gears and draws 5.3 amps, making it better suited for demanding stripping and surface prep tasks. The F13-01 (HP1513-HD) uses the same 1.5 HP motor but through slightly different gear ratios. Both weigh 87 lb and run at similar speeds, but the XHD gearing handles heavier sustained loads.
What pad size does the Hawk 13" XHD use?
The F23-01 uses a 13" pad driver that accepts 12" pads. Recommended pad colors by task: black for stripping, green for scrubbing, red for spray buffing, white or tan for polishing. The 87 lb machine weight provides natural down-pressure without added weights for most applications.
How quiet is the F23-01 during operation?
The F23-01 operates at 66 dB, which meets the GS42 international noise standard. At 66 dB, the machine is quieter than a typical conversation (70 dB) and is approved for daytime use in hospitals, schools, and occupied office buildings.
Can the F23-01 handle stripping thick floor finish?
Yes. At 165 RPM with a 1.5 HP motor and XHD gear system, the F23-01 generates sufficient torque for stripping multi-coat floor finish from VCT and vinyl when paired with a black stripping pad and appropriate chemical stripper. Adding optional frame weights increases pad pressure for heavy buildup.
What is included when the F23-01 ships?
The machine ships with the motor unit, chrome steel handle with foam grips and dual steel triggers, thumb-operated safety switch, non-marking ball-bearing wheels, and 50 ft 12-3 SJT power cord. Pad driver, pads, and solution tank are not included and must be ordered separately.
Is the F23-01 available in other sizes?
Yes. The XHD line is available in 13", 15", 17", and 20" pad driver sizes, all sharing the same 1.5 HP dual-capacitor motor and helical-cut gear system. Teams maintaining multiple facility sizes often stock the 13" for restrooms and the 17" or 20" for open floor areas.
What voltage does the Hawk F23-01 require?
The F23-01 motor is rated 115-230V, 50/60 Hz, supporting standard US 115V circuits and international 230V power. The 50 ft power cord ships with a standard 115V molded plug; rewiring for 230V may be required for international use.

Located in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, we acquired our Brio Air Filter in mid-late Spring of this year (2023) when pollen count was high and we were beginning to experience the effects of Poor Air Quality Index as a result of smoke particulates from fires in Canada that caused the air in much of Minnesota to become hazy and simply dirty.
It is so easy to share our experience with the Brio Air Filter given how quickly and efficiently it removed pollen, dust, and smoke particles from the environment inside our home. Two people in our home who suffer from pollen-related allergies during the spring immediately experienced easier breathing and elimination of symptoms within the house. With respect to smoke particulates from Canada drifting into our environment, EVERYONE in our home experienced directly improved breathing and smell of the air when entering from outside.
An additional piece of information to account for is that we have always employed high grade furnace filters in our home’s central HVAC system. With that high grade filtration in place both prior to and after acquiring a Brio home air filter, we all quickly agreed that deploying the Brio in our home made an easily noticeable positive difference in breathing inside our home. Additionally, those of us who clean our home have observed that dust builds up slower on our floors and furniture than before we deployed the Brio unit.
We did note that the Brio is not as quiet as a few other brands/models on the market that we have tried in our home but the efficiency and quality of the filtration, along with the air turnover rate it provides,allows us to locate the Brio unit in central rooms away from the bedrooms. Since we made that change there has been no noise-related effect on our sleep, while the unit maintains the same level of air cleanliness throughout our home.
A last key point to make is how easy the Brio unit is to maintain. The simplicity of the modular construction of the Brio unit makes it very quick and easy to keep the filtration sections clean. We have not yet reached a point of filter replacement but it is obvious to us that the replacement will take a matter of seconds and can be executed by anyone in our home, including our 10-year-old son.
It seems to help reduce my allergy issues. We're glad we bought it. The only problem I had was not seeing any cubic footage recommendations in the online description when purchasing the unit. Bedrooms vary widely in size!!
