Frequently asked questions
What jobs is the H-20E designed for?
The 175 RPM speed makes it a versatile floor machine for scrubbing, stripping, bonnet carpet cleaning, and spray buffing on hard floors.
Is 175 RPM right for stripping floors?
Yes. The lower 175 RPM speed produces high torque that is ideal for driving stripping pads and scrub brushes through heavy finish and soil.
Can it clean carpet too?
With a bonnet pad and driver, the low-speed Hercules works well for interim bonnet cleaning of commercial carpet.
How durable is the machine?
It uses a 1.5 HP 66-frame motor, a triple-planetary high-torque transmission, and an all-metal chassis built for demanding daily commercial use.
