Powr-Flite C171HD Classic Metal 17 inch Floor Machine (1.5 HP, 175 RPM)
$1,065.00
The Powr-Flite C171HD is a 17″ Classic Metal single-disc rotary floor machine (1.5 HP, 175 RPM) for commercial scrubbing, stripping, and buffing. Ships free, ready to run on 120V; pad driver and brush sold separately.
The Powr-Flite C171HD is a 17-inch Classic Metal single-disc rotary floor machine driven by a 1.5 HP motor at 175 RPM. The 17-inch deck is the workhorse size for general-purpose scrubbing, stripping, and bonnet cleaning in hallways, classrooms, retail floors, and mid-size open areas. The heavy cast metal build and 100-pound frame put real pad pressure on the floor, so it cuts through finish and soil that a lighter machine skates over.
What Ships
The C171HD ships as the base floor machine — motor, handle, deck, and power cord, assembled and ready to run on 120V. A pad driver (for pads) or a scrub/strip brush is selected separately to match your deck size and the job, so you can outfit the machine for scrubbing, stripping, bonnet cleaning, or polishing. Not sure which pad driver, brush, or pads you need? Call us at 763-535-0770 and we will spec it to your floor.
