National Equipment 6280HD Gladiator Self-Propelled Floor Scraper

The National Equipment 6280HD Gladiator is a heavy-duty, self-propelled floor scraper engineered to tackle the most demanding removal jobs. With instant forward and reverse, a unique swivel head for continuous floor contact, and a variable speed of 9.1 meters per minute, it efficiently strips glued-down floors, commercial carpet, wood, ceramic, VCT, solid vinyl, rubber tile, roofing material, and more.

Built with a durable steel plate outer housing, this machine features a whisper-quiet, overload-protected commercial motor running on 13 amps to prevent circuit breaker trips. The adjustable counter-balanced slide-weight system and 22.7 kg of front weight down pressure provide exceptional scraping force, while the included angle attachment, cutting head, carbide shank, and multiple blades ensure versatility across any jobsite.
