+1 (978) 295-7538Forward-Motion 17" Floor Machine with 1.5 HP Floating Head and 1/3 Less Power Draw
The Hawk Glide Freedom 2-Speed 17" (F93-17-01) replaces traditional side-to-side swing buffing with a forward-and-backward motion control system that reduces operator fatigue and doubles cleaning productivity per shift. The 1.5 HP dual-capacitor motor operates at 175 RPM through 10:1 helical-cut gears, drawing one-third less amperage than comparable conventional floor machines. The floating head design maintains 100% floor contact without operator correction.
Forward Motion and Efficiency Specs
- Forward/backward motion control — eliminates the tiring lateral handle oscillation of conventional buffers; operators move the machine straight forward then pull back, covering twice the floor area per unit of effort compared to side-to-side buffing technique.
- 1.5 HP dual-capacitor, 8.5/9.1A, 175 RPM — dual-capacitor motor provides reliable starting under load and consistent speed under varying floor-contact pressure; 8.5A draw is compatible with most commercial branch circuits.
- Floating head, 10:1 helical-cut gears — floating pivot maintains pad contact on floor surface irregularities; 10:1 gearing provides good balance between torque and speed for 175 RPM maintenance and light cleaning applications.
- 66 dB, GS42 compliant, 50-ft cord with lock — appropriate for occupied-building day-cleaning in all commercial settings; cord lock prevents disconnection during long forward-motion cleaning runs.
- 4-position handle lock, ergonomic foam grips — four handle positions accommodate different operator heights and working angles; foam grips reduce hand vibration transmission during extended shifts.
Where the Glide Freedom 2-Speed Is Used
Commercial cleaning companies deploy the Glide Freedom 2-Speed on large-area floor care accounts — corporate campuses, airport terminals, and convention centers — where operator endurance across an 8-hour shift determines how much floor area gets maintained. Hospital housekeeping supervisors specify the forward-motion design to reduce repetitive-motion injury claims in custodial staff who perform daily spray-buffing cycles. Retail facility maintenance crews use it for interim floor maintenance between wax applications in high-traffic big-box stores and shopping mall corridors. Educational facility custodial teams run it for floor polishing and maintenance in gym lobbies, hallways, and cafeteria floors where large areas must be maintained on tight overnight schedules.
