+1 (978) 295-7538Hawk F20-01 20-Inch Heavy Duty Floor Machine with Triple-Planetary Drive
The Hawk F20-01 HD runs a 1.5 HP dual capacitor motor through a triple-planetary XHD 11:1 helical-cut gear at 175 RPM on a 20-inch pad. At 97 lbs, it delivers the downward pad pressure needed for routine stripping, scrubbing, and spray buffing on VCT, terrazzo, and concrete without the weight class of the Brute series. The 50 ft SJT power cord with molded plug covers standard commercial floor areas without repositioning.
F20-01 Motor, Gear Drive, and Pad System
- Motor: 1.5 HP dual capacitor AC, 66 frame — high starting torque and steady running output maintain 175 RPM under stripping and scrubbing pad loads.
- Triple-planetary XHD gear: 11:1 helical-cut — distributes torque across three gear contact points; quieter and more durable than single-stage spur drives at the same gear ratio.
- Speed: 175 RPM — standard stripping, scrubbing, and spray buffing speed; compatible with full range of 20-inch rotary pads.
- Weight: 97 lbs — matches the F20-01-DX base weight; appropriate for 4–6 coat finish stripping and routine maintenance scrubbing.
- Noise: 66 dB, GS42 compliant — meets occupied-facility sound requirements for daytime floor care.
- Power: 115–230V, 50/60 Hz — dual-voltage design operates on standard US circuits and international voltage where available.
F20-01 vs. F20-01-DX: Choosing the Right Configuration
The F20-01 base machine is the right choice when solution tank distribution is not required in the workflow—spray buffing from a separate bottle, dry buffing, or stripping with pre-wet chemical application. The F20-01-DX adds a 4-gallon solution tank, splash guard, chrome motor cover, and premium pad driver for facilities that run wet scrubbing passes with integrated solution delivery. Both machines use identical motors, gears, and weight. The selection depends on whether integrated solution distribution saves enough labor time in the specific operation to justify the DX package cost.
Dual-Voltage Motor and Cord for Commercial Flexibility
The F20-01 operates on 115–230V, 50/60 Hz, giving facility managers flexibility when equipment moves between US facilities and international sites, or when panel configurations provide 230V circuits in commercial buildings. The 50 ft 12-3 SJT cord with molded plug is rated for daily commercial use—12-gauge wire handles the 6.5 amp draw at 175 RPM without voltage drop at full cord length.
