+1 (978) 295-7538Single-Speed 17" Severe-Duty Floating Head Machine with 60-Second Modular Breakdown
The Hawk Merlin Severe-Duty WD 17" (F70-17-01) is the single-speed industrial configuration in the 17-inch Merlin line: 1.5 HP TEFC dual-capacitor motor, XHD 11:1 helical-cut gears, forward-motion control, and WD floating head in a 231-lb chassis. Like the 20-inch version, it breaks down into transportable sections in under 60 seconds for elevator transit and van loading. The TEFC motor housing resists the abrasive dust and moisture present in concrete, stone, and heavy-duty floor preparation environments.
Build and Performance Specs
- 1.5 HP TEFC dual-capacitor, 7.9A, 115–230V — TEFC housing is sealed against abrasive dust ingress; dual-voltage motor operates internationally; 7.9A draw leaves circuit headroom for other equipment on the same branch.
- 165 RPM, XHD 11:1 helical-cut gears — industrial gear specification handles diamond tooling, aggressive stripping, and heavy scrubbing at the torque levels required for concrete resurfacing and floor restoration work.
- WD floating head, forward-motion control — WD pivot maintains consistent pad contact on uneven concrete and stone surfaces; forward-motion system allows straight-line cleaning passes that reduce operator fatigue on extended shifts.
- 60-second modular breakdown, 231 lbs — one person disassembles to transportable sections without tools; 231 lbs total is heavy enough for excellent surface contact on concrete but manageable for elevator-based multi-floor deployment.
- 66 dB, GS42, 50-ft twist-lock cord — GS42 noise compliance for occupied-building work; twist-lock cord prevents disconnection during long forward-motion passes.
Applications and Deployment
Commercial flooring contractors use the Merlin WD 17" for concrete preparation in renovation projects inside occupied commercial buildings where the 17-inch footprint fits between cubicles, around partition walls, and in clinical spaces. Stone restoration specialists deploy it for marble and terrazzo polishing and grinding in retail stores, hotel lobbies, and healthcare campus corridors. Building service contractors use it for overnight strip-and-refinish cycles on VCT floors in 17-inch spaces including patient rooms, small conference rooms, and back-of-house utility corridors. Restoration contractors use the modular breakdown feature for multi-floor access in healthcare campus renovation projects where elevator transit is the primary means of moving between work areas.
