Key Benefits

The SP-15 Surface Prep Floor Machine Weight is a precision-engineered 22lb accessory that significantly enhances the performance of Koblenz floor machines. By adding extra downward pressure, this weight improves stripping, scrubbing, and surface preparation tasks, ensuring cleaner, more polished results with reduced operator fatigue. Constructed from durable, high-quality materials, it is designed for long-term reliability while maintaining balance and stability throughout heavy-duty floor care operations.

Why It Matters

In commercial and industrial floor care, not all cleaning challenges are the same. Some tasks, like removing stubborn floor finishes, wax buildup, or heavy soil, require more aggressive action than standard floor machines can provide on their own. The SP-15 Surface Prep Weight ensures that operators can cut through these tough layers quickly and effectively. By applying consistent downward pressure, the accessory reduces the need for repeated passes, saving valuable time and energy while minimizing chemical use. The result is a more efficient workflow, reduced labor costs, and a higher-quality finish on every project.

Applications

• Stripping resilient flooring – Effectively removes wax, sealers, and old finishes.
• Heavy-duty scrubbing – Perfect for concrete, terrazzo, and stone surfaces.
• Surface preparation – Ensures floors are ready for recoating or refinishing.
• Commercial restoration – Essential for schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities that require deep, reliable cleaning.
