+1 (978) 295-7538Stripping and Polishing on One Machine — Hawk 17" 2-Speed XHD
The Hawk F04-17-01 17" 2-Speed Extra Heavy Duty Professional Floor Machine replaces two single-speed buffers with one commercial-grade machine. The 1.5 HP DC rectified 2-speed motor switches between 165 RPM for aggressive stripping and scrubbing and 300 RPM for high-speed buffing and spray finishing, covering a 16" pad path at 8.5–9.1 Amp draw. Triple-planetary 11:1 helical-cut commercial gears maintain both speed settings under sustained load, and GS42-rated noise levels of 60 dB at low speed and 69 dB at high speed allow daytime operation in occupied facilities.
F04-17-01 Motor, Gear, and Speed-Switch System
- 1.5 HP DC rectified 2-speed motor — 66-frame with toggle switch mounted on motor housing for instant low-to-high speed transitions without stopping
- Triple-planetary 11.1:1 helical-cut commercial gears — same gear ratio drives both speed settings, eliminating the gear-slip failures common in lower-grade 2-speed machines
- 17" pad driver, 16" pad size — wider cleaning path than 13" or 15" models reduces passes per corridor on large open floors
- Chromed steel handle with vinyl-dipped foam grips — reduces operator fatigue during extended buffing runs compared to bare-steel grip handles
- 50 ft 12-3 SJT industrial power cord — reaches across large commercial floors without extension cords
Where the Hawk 17" 2-Speed XHD Outperforms Single-Speed Machines
Single-speed 165 RPM machines require a second burnisher to restore high-gloss finishes after stripping and recoating. The F04-17-01 eliminates that second machine — strip at 165 RPM, recoat the floor, then switch to 300 RPM for spray buffing or dry buffing to restore luster, all with the same unit. At 94 lbs and UL/CUL listed, it operates in schools, hospitals, government buildings, and manufacturing facilities requiring equipment certification.
