+1 (978) 295-7538Dual-Speed 17" Industrial Floor Machine with WD Floating Head, DC Rectified Motor, and 80 lb Weight Kit
The Hawk Merlin 2-Speed XHD WD 17" (F71-17-01) is the 17-inch version of the Merlin XHD industrial platform: 1.5 HP DC rectified 2-speed motor, triple-planetary XHD 11:1 helical-cut gears, 80 lb weight kit, and the Wheels-Down floating head in a 260-lb chassis. The DC rectified motor delivers consistent torque at both 165 RPM (deep scrubbing and stripping) and 300 RPM (polishing and spray buffing) while drawing one-third less amperage than equivalent AC motors.
Dual-Speed DC Motor and WD Head Specs
- 1.5 HP DC rectified 2-speed, 8.5/9.1A — DC motor provides consistent torque under varying floor-load conditions; the rectified DC circuit maintains speed under load more effectively than AC motors at equivalent wattage.
- 165/300 RPM, XHD 11:1 helical-cut gears — 165 RPM for stripping, heavy scrubbing, and diamond tooling; 300 RPM for spray buffing and finish restoration; single machine covers the full range of floor care without switching units.
- WD floating head, 80 lb weight kit — WD pivot maintains full pad-to-floor contact on uneven surfaces; 80 lb weights increase downforce for diamond tooling and abrasive applications where machine weight alone is insufficient.
- 62–69 dB, GS42 compliant at both speeds — 62 dB at 165 RPM and 69 dB at 300 RPM; both speeds qualify for occupied-building use including nighttime and early-morning cleaning in healthcare and hospitality.
- 260 lb operating weight, 25 × 33 × 55 in — heavier chassis than the 113-lb Glide Freedom models; weight provides natural downforce for heavy-duty applications without additional ballast.
Industrial Deployment Applications
Flooring contractors use the Merlin 2-Speed XHD WD 17" with diamond tooling at 165 RPM for concrete preparation on commercial retail, healthcare, and institutional floor renovation projects where the 17-inch footprint is preferred over larger 20-inch machines for maneuverability in furnished spaces. Building service contractors switch to 300 RPM for spray buffing and finish maintenance on polished concrete and VCT floors in large commercial spaces. Industrial facility maintenance crews use the 80 lb weight kit with scarifying tooling for adhesive removal and concrete surface prep in occupied manufacturing environments. Healthcare renovation contractors use the 17-inch WD model for floor preparation work in patient rooms and clinical spaces where the 20-inch Merlin is too large for maneuvering around fixed equipment.
