Aztec 070-24-LR LowRider Series 24-inch Propane Burnisher
On a big open floor, the limit on a burnishing program is walking speed. Once an operator is moving at a steady pace, the only way to finish more square footage in the same shift is a wider pad. The 24-inch LowRider is that machine: a 28,000 sq. ft. per hour work rating, about 12 percent more than the 21-inch model, from the same low-profile platform.
What makes it unusual is that the extra width does not cost you access. The LowRider deck is built to pass under racking, gondolas and fixtures that stop a standard-height burnisher, so you are not trading reach for coverage. For warehouse aisles, school corridors, convention space and big-box sales floors, that combination is the reason this model gets specified over a conventional 24-inch machine.
Built for
- Warehouse and distribution floors with long uninterrupted runs where pad width pays off directly.
- Big-box retail sales floors that need both throughput and the ability to burnish under racking.
- Schools, hospitals and institutional corridors on a fixed nightly or weekly burnishing schedule.
- Contract cleaners whose square footage per shift determines whether an account is profitable.
Sizing the machine to the building
A wider pad only helps where it can run. If most of your floor is open, the 24-inch will finish the job measurably faster. If the floor is broken up by endcaps, display islands, furniture or narrow aisles, the operator spends more time maneuvering than burnishing and the 21-inch LowRider often finishes first in practice. The honest way to choose is to walk the building and estimate what share of the floor is genuinely open.
Running costs to plan for
Propane burnishers trade consumables for productivity. Budget for a tank swap roughly every eight hours of run time, routine oil changes, filter replacement and burnishing pads. Operators need training on tank handling and on your building ventilation requirements. Those costs are predictable, which is why high-square-footage accounts still favor propane over cord-electric.

Frequently asked questions
How much faster is the 24-inch than the 21-inch in practice?
The rated difference is 28,000 versus 25,000 sq. ft. per hour, about 12 percent. On genuinely open floor you should see close to that. On a floor broken up by fixtures the advantage shrinks, because maneuvering time rather than pad width becomes the constraint.
Can a 24-inch machine still get under store racking?
That is the point of the LowRider platform. The deck is built on an ultra-low profile specifically so it clears racking and fixtures that stop a standard-height burnisher, and the 24-inch model shares that deck design.
What floors is this appropriate for?
High-speed burnishing is used on finished floors such as VCT and on polished concrete. Confirm that your finish is rated for high-speed burnishing and match the pad to the finish and the gloss level you want.
How heavy is it and can one person handle it?
It weighs 215 lbs. It is self-propelled by pad action and designed for a single operator, but the weight matters when you need to load it into a van or move it between floors. Plan for a ramp or a lift gate.
