Common Questions
Choosing the Right Floor Scraper
Understand the practical differences between the three walk-behind machines.
Which machine is best for carpet and vinyl removal?
The 6280 Commander is primarily designed for soft goods such as glued-down carpet, VCT, sheet vinyl, rubber flooring and linoleum. Its orbital cutting action and self-propelled operation make it suitable for commercial soft flooring removal.
Which machine should I choose for ceramic tile and hardwood?
The 6280HD Gladiator is designed for demanding hard goods removal, including ceramic tile and hardwood, using compatible tooling. The Rogue is another option when you need a versatile machine with adjustable tooling movement and precision electric steering.
Which machine is best for tight or restricted spaces?
The Commander and Gladiator are approximately 45cm wide, while the Rogue provides precision electric steering and a shorter overall length. The right option depends on doorway widths, turning space and access conditions.
Does blade selection affect floor removal performance?
Yes. The correct blade and tooling depend on the flooring material, adhesive, substrate and machine. Different blade angles and cutting configurations can affect removal performance. Contact our team for advice on a suitable setup.
