Single-Speed 20" Severe-Duty Floating Head Machine with 60-Second Modular Breakdown

The Hawk Enterprises Merlin Severe-Duty WD (F70-20-01) runs a 1.5 HP TEFC dual-capacitor motor at 165 RPM through triple-planetary XHD 11:1 gears.

Build and Drive Specs for Large-Area Maintenance

  • 1.5 HP TEFC dual-capacitor, 8.5A, 115–230V — TEFC enclosure resists dust ingress during aggressive pad applications.
  • 165 RPM through XHD 11:1 helical-cut gears — low-speed operation suited to stripping, heavy scrubbing, concrete resurfacing, and diamond tooling.
  • WD floating head with 20" cleaning path
  • 60-second solo modular breakdown — one person can disassemble the machine into manageable sections.
  • 66 dB, GS42 compliant, 50-ft cord with twist lock

Deployment Scenarios

Building service contractors use the F70-20-01 for overnight strip-and-refinish cycles on VCT corridors and lobby floors in healthcare campuses, corporate office buildings, and government facilities. Flooring restoration companies run it for heavy-duty concrete polishing prep and diamond tooling on industrial factory floors. Commercial cleaning companies in airports and transit hubs rely on the 60-second breakdown for rapid reconfiguration between concourses where elevator transit requires compact equipment sections. Hospitality floor-care crews use it for scheduled deep-scrubbing of large banquet hall, conference center, and casino floor surfaces between events.
