Stair and Countertop Cleaning With the Hawk 13" Mighty Floor Machine
The Hawk F60-13-01-24 13" Mighty Floor Machine is a compact 1.0 HP TEFC dual-capacitor unit designed for cleaning surfaces that standard floor machines cannot reach. The 24" handle version targets stair treads, countertops, and low-clearance areas. Triple-planetary XHD gears deliver steady 165 RPM at 64 dB, meeting GS42 noise standards — quieter than the larger Brute models. Three handle options cover different applications: 24" for stairs, 48" standard for floor work, and 36"-48" telescoping for operator height adjustment.
F60-13-01-24 Handle, Motor, and Gear Configuration
24" compact handle for stair and countertop access — operators can position the machine on stair landings and work one tread at a time without wrestling with a full-length handle in confined vertical spaces
1.0 HP dual-capacitor TEFC AC motor — draws 4.9 amps; sufficient torque for scrubbing, stripping, and polishing on smaller pad surfaces without the weight of 1.5 HP machines
Triple-planetary XHD gears — same XHD gear rating as the full-size Brute machines, providing reliable power transfer to the 12" pad driver at 165 RPM
64 dB GS42-compliant noise level — 2 dB quieter than the standard Brute, suitable for cleaning occupied stairwells and common areas without disturbing building occupants
50 ft commercial cord with cord lock — 12-3 cord extends reach across multiple stair landings without repositioning the outlet connection
Applications for Confined and Specialty Cleaning
Building maintenance teams use the Mighty 13" for stair tread maintenance in office towers, hotels, and universities where high-traffic stone and terrazzo stairs require regular scrubbing. The 24" handle allows one-handed positioning on individual stair treads without operator back strain. The machine also cleans raised loading dock platforms, stadium seating areas, and food-service countertop zones. At 87 lb, it moves on non-marking ball-bearing wheels between floors with minimal effort. The optional dust collection kit makes it suitable for dry surface prep in occupied spaces.

Why choose the 24" handle version of the Hawk 13" Mighty over the standard 48" handle?
The 24" handle (F60-13-01-24) is specifically designed for stair treads, countertops, and low-clearance surfaces where a 48" handle would be awkward or impossible to control. With the shorter handle, operators can position the machine on individual stair treads and apply consistent pad pressure without the leverage problems of a full-length handle in tight spaces.
What is the pad size on the Hawk 13" Mighty F60-13-01-24?
The F60-13-01-24 uses a 12" pad driver that accepts 13" round floor pads. All three Mighty 13" handle variants (24", 48", and telescoping) share the same 12" pad driver and 13" pad size.
How does the Hawk Mighty compare to the standard Hawk HD at the same 13" size?
The Mighty uses a 1.0 HP motor versus the HD's 1.5 HP, and operates at 165 RPM versus 175 RPM. The Mighty is designed specifically for confined and specialty applications (stairs, countertops, restroom edges) where the 13" HD is better suited for general floor maintenance in small rooms. The Mighty also offers handle options the HD does not, including the 24" stair-cleaning version.
Can the Hawk 13" Mighty be used for floor maintenance in hotel guest rooms?
Yes. At 64 dB GS42-compliant noise, the Mighty 13" operates quieter than a hotel-room television. The 24" handle version can clean bathroom tile floors in tight spaces, while the 48" or telescoping versions handle main room carpet and hard floor maintenance.
What accessories are available for the Hawk Mighty 13"?
Available accessories include a 4-gallon solution tank for wet scrubbing, a dust collection kit for dry surface prep in occupied spaces, and various brushes and pad drivers for different surface types. The machine also accepts optional weights for additional pad pressure on stubborn floor finishes.
Is the Mighty 13" available with a telescoping handle?
Yes. The F60-13TH-01 version includes a 36"-48" telescoping handle that adjusts to operator height. This is particularly useful for teams with multiple operators of different heights, eliminating ergonomic strain from fixed-handle positions. The telescoping variant shares all motor and gear specifications with the 24" and 48" handle versions.
What surfaces can the Hawk 13" Mighty F60-13-01-24 clean?
The Mighty 13" handles stairs, countertops, raised platforms, narrow aisles, restroom tile, VCT, terrazzo, and concrete surfaces. At 165 RPM, it strips, scrubs, and polishes depending on pad color. It is not intended for large open floor areas where a 17" or 20" machine would be more productive.

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!!
