Description

Looking for a High-Performance, Versatile Floor Machine That Can Handle Any Task? Meet the HAWK 17 Inch Merlin 2-Speed XHD WD Industrial Floor Machine!

Quick Overview:

The HAWK 17 Inch Merlin 2-Speed XHD WD Industrial Floor Machine is engineered for maximum efficiency and superior results across a wide range of commercial cleaning tasks. With its innovative “Floating Head” WDTM Wheels Down handle carriage design, the Merlin ensures full floor contact, offering more control and smoother movement than traditional swing buffers. This versatile machine is perfect for scrubbing, stripping, buffing, and polishing floors at two different speeds (165 RPM for stripping and 320 RPM for polishing), delivering unmatched performance with less strain on your electrical system.

Whether you need a basic model or one that’s equipped with additional tools for more specialized jobs, the Merlin comes in two variants to suit your needs:

Model Options:

  • Standard Model (F71-17-01): The standard version, designed for standard floor stripping, scrubbing, and polishing tasks.
  • DX Deluxe Model (F71-17-01DX): A fully equipped package with a 4-gallon tank, diamond pad driver, and splash guard for a complete solution to heavy-duty floor maintenance.

Why It Stands Out:

The Merlin 2-Speed XHD elevates floor maintenance through its unique combination of Floating-Head WD technology and precision speed control. The robust 1.5 HP DC motor transitions smoothly between 165 RPM for aggressive tasks and 320 RPM for polishing, while maintaining perfect stability through our forward/backward control system. The included 80-pound weight kit ensures optimal surface contact for any application.

What Customers Love:

Professional users value the machine's exceptional adaptability - from diamond tool operation to orbital accessory compatibility. The intuitive forward-motion control eliminates operator strain, while the 1/3 reduction in power consumption generates immediate cost savings. Time-saving features like the 60-second handle removal streamline transportation and storage.

Perfect For:

  • Professional floor cleaning in commercial, industrial, and large-scale residential spaces.
  • Businesses that need to perform both routine floor maintenance and more intensive tasks like resurfacing, polishing, and deep cleaning.
  • Facilities requiring a reliable machine that handles a variety of floor types, including concrete, stone, and wood.

Shop Smart, Save Big: Don't Fall for Online Ripoffs
The internet is flooded with unofficial Hawk Enterprises retailers, and sadly, scams are rampant. Remember: if a deal looks unbelievably good, it probably isn't legitimate. Those tempting cut-rate online offers often turn out to be used or refurbished units, lacking Hawk Enterprises top-rated warranties. Even worse, you might end up with a cheap knockoff product that can't match the energy efficiency, durability, features, or warranties of genuine Hawk Enterprises products.
