+1 (978) 295-7538Dual-Speed 20" Industrial Floor Machine with WD Floating Head and 1.5 HP DC Motor
The Hawk Enterprises Merlin 2-Speed XHD WD 20" (F71-20-01) runs a 1.5 HP DC rectified motor through triple-planetary XHD 11:1 helical-cut gears at 165 RPM for deep scrubbing or 300 RPM for buffing and spray finish work. The Wheels-Down (WD) floating head maintains 100% floor contact on uneven surfaces, and the 80 lb weight kit adds consistent downward pressure for concrete resurfacing and aggressive stripping applications.
Motor, Gear, and Speed Specs for Industrial Floor Work
- 1.5 HP DC rectified 2-speed motor, 9.2/9.6A — draws one-third less amperage than traditional AC motors at equivalent torque output; the DC rectified circuit provides steady speed under varying load conditions on large commercial floors.
- 165/300 RPM with triple-planetary XHD 11:1 gears — low speed for stripping, scarifying, and heavy scrubbing with diamond tooling or black pads; high speed for spray buffing, burnishing prep, and finish work with red or white pads.
- Floating head WD (Wheels Down) design — the machine frame pivots to follow floor undulations, maintaining pad contact pressure across the full 19-inch pad diameter without operator adjustment.
- 80 lb weight kit, 50 ft 12-3 cord with lock — additional weight improves pad-to-floor contact for diamond tooling on concrete; cord lock prevents accidental disconnection during long-run buffing passes.
- 62–69 dB, GS42 compliant — meets the GS42 international noise standard; suitable for nighttime and early-morning operation in retail, hospitality, and healthcare environments.
Where the Merlin 2-Speed XHD WD Gets Deployed
Industrial facility contractors use the Merlin 2-Speed at 165 RPM with diamond tooling for concrete floor preparation, aggressive surface scarification, and heavy-duty stripping of multi-layer wax buildup in manufacturing plants and distribution warehouses. Commercial janitorial companies switch to 300 RPM for spray buffing and finish maintenance on VCT and polished concrete floors in large retail stores, airport terminals, and corporate campuses. Flooring contractors deploy the WD floating head configuration for wood floor sanding with abrasive pads on gymnasium and hardwood commercial floors. Hospitality and healthcare floor-care teams run it for scheduled strip-and-refinish cycles on high-traffic corridor and lobby floors.
