Powr-Flite C171HD 17" Classic Metal Floor Machine

The Powr-Flite C171HD is a 17" commercial floor machine built around a 1.5 HP motor turning at 175 RPM through an all-steel triple planetary gearbox. All-metal housing with a high-polish chrome finish resists corrosion and chipping. At 95 lbs, the machine is suited for scrubbing, buffing, grinding, and polishing on all finished hard-floor surfaces. Assembled and tested in Texas.

C171HD Drive System and Pad Deck

  • Pad size: 17" (compatible with 15" brushes)
  • Motor: 1.5 HP, 175 RPM
  • Transmission: All-steel triple planetary drive
  • Handle tube: All-chrome 1.5" with heavy-duty metal strain relief
  • Safety control: Dual-lever on/off switch prevents accidental start
  • Bumper: Full-surround non-marking bumper protects walls and furniture
  • Cord: 50 ft., 14/3 SJTW-A with metal lock-nut and spring strain relief

Typical Applications by Floor Type

The C171HD handles VCT, terrazzo, marble, and concrete in schools, hospitals, offices, and manufacturing facilities. The 175 RPM speed makes it effective for both daily spray-buff operations and periodic scrub-and-recoat cycles. Two 4" non-marking wheels allow easy repositioning between tasks without leaving marks on finished surfaces.
