The step up from the 15-gallon PF53\/PF54, these units reduce emptying frequency on high-volume recovery jobs. Both include a 1.5\" x 10\" swivel hose, 2-piece stainless steel wand, full tool kit, pleated cartridge filter, and washable cloth filter.

Janitorial contractors managing large commercial properties — shopping centers, convention centers, and warehouses — use the PF56 poly model for routine wet floor recovery and post-cleaning pickup. Food processing and manufacturing facilities use the 20-gallon capacity for wash-down recovery where continuous emptying of a smaller unit would interrupt cleaning workflows. School districts running summer maintenance programs use both models for large-area floor stripping and wax removal recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBox Contents and Optional Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShips with 1.5\" x 10\" swivel hose, 2-piece stainless steel wand, crevice tool, dusting tool, 14\" rug tool, and 14\" squeegee tool.
