1-1/4" Plastic Riser

1-1/4" Plastic Riser (Item #680206)

Key Benefits

The 1-1/4" Plastic Riser is an essential component designed to provide precise elevation for commercial and industrial cleaning equipment. Constructed from high-quality, durable plastic, this riser ensures long-lasting performance and stability under frequent use. By elevating brushes, wheels, or other components by 1-1/4 inches, it enables optimal floor clearance, ensuring even contact and effective cleaning results. Its robust design supports the weight of cleaning machines while minimizing wear and tear on both the riser and the equipment itself. Lightweight yet strong, it allows for easy installation and reliable operation, making it an indispensable part of any maintenance or repair toolkit.

Why It Matters

Maintaining proper machine height is crucial for consistent and efficient cleaning. Incorrect clearance can lead to uneven brush pressure, missed spots, and premature wear on both brushes and wheels. The 1-1/4" Plastic Riser ensures that your equipment maintains the correct elevation, allowing brushes and wheels to operate at optimal height for maximum performance. Proper alignment reduces strain on motors and moving components, preventing breakdowns and extending equipment life. Additionally, the riser helps maintain safety during operation by providing a stable base for equipment, reducing the risk of tipping or unstable movement while cleaning large or uneven surfaces.

Applications

• Floor scrubbers, sweepers, and automatic cleaning machines
• Replacement riser for worn, damaged, or missing components
• Maintenance and repair projects requiring precise elevation adjustments
• Commercial, industrial, and institutional cleaning environments
• High-traffic areas where consistent brush or wheel performance is necessary

Installation Tips

Installation is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. Power off the equipment before installation to ensure safety. Place the 1-1/4" Plastic Riser under the component requiring elevation, such as a brush or wheel assembly. Align the riser properly to maintain stability and ensure full contact with the machine and the floor surface. Secure according to manufacturer instructions, using screws, bolts, or other mounting hardware if necessary. Test the equipment in a small area to ensure smooth operation and proper clearance before full cleaning tasks.

Maintenance Best Practices

Regular inspection is recommended to maintain the riser’s performance. Check for cracks, deformation, or excessive wear, particularly in high-use areas. Clean the riser periodically to remove debris or residue that may accumulate during operation. Replace the riser immediately if any damage is found to ensure optimal performance, maintain safety, and prevent uneven cleaning. Proper maintenance ensures that the 1-1/4" Plastic Riser continues to provide reliable elevation and support for your cleaning equipment over the long term.
