+1 (978) 295-75381.5 HP Commercial 17" Floor Machine at 175 RPM with XHD 11:1 Gears and Dual Voltage
The Hawk Enterprises Heavy Duty 17" (F17-01) is the standard-configuration floor machine in the Hawk 17-inch lineup: a 1.5 HP dual-capacitor motor through XHD 11:1 helical-cut industrial gears at 175 RPM and 5.9A, drawing less current than virtually any other 1.5 HP 17-inch machine on the market. The 115–230V dual voltage allows operation on international circuits from the same machine, and the non-marking ball bearing wheels prevent floor damage during repositioning.
Motor, Gear, and Build Specs
- 1.5 HP dual-capacitor, 5.9A, XHD 11:1 gears — 5.9A is the lowest draw in the Hawk 17-inch 1.5 HP class; dual-capacitor start/run provides reliable, vibration-free motor startup under full pad load without current spikes.
- 175 RPM, triple-planetary XHD helical-cut — XHD planetary gears in the F17-01 provide the same extra-heavy-duty rating as the more expensive Merlin models; 175 RPM is the industry-standard speed for both aggressive scrubbing and spray buffing from a single machine.
- All-steel powder-coated frame, chrome handle — steel frame withstands impact against baseboards and equipment; chrome handle resists corrosion from cleaning chemical contact.
- 1" × 5" non-marking ball bearing wheels, 94 lbs — ball bearing wheels roll smoothly and do not leave marks on finished floors during transport; 94 lbs is the standard weight for 17-inch floor machines, appropriate for single-operator use.
- 66 dB, GS42 compliant, 50-ft cord, 115–230V — dual-voltage motor; 50-ft cord covers most commercial floor areas from one outlet; 66 dB qualifies for all commercial occupied-building use environments.
Applications Across Commercial Facility Types
Building service contractors use the F17-01 as the core 17-inch floor machine for commercial office, healthcare, retail, and educational facility accounts where the standard 175 RPM speed addresses the full range of maintenance tasks from stripping through spray buffing. Hospital housekeeping departments stock the F17-01 for daily VCT maintenance in patient-care corridors and lobby areas where GS42 noise compliance is required during occupied building hours. School custodial programs use it for floor strip-and-refinish cycles during school holidays and as the daily maintenance machine for gymnasium and cafeteria floors. Hospitality facility maintenance teams deploy it for scheduled floor care in hotel guest-floor corridors, lobby areas, and meeting room floors.
