28.5" Front Mount Squeegee - Fitment for Sku#29019 - Koblenz - AI-16609 N (Item #00-3975-0)
Key Benefits
The 28.5" Front Mount Squeegee is specifically designed for Koblenz floor machines, offering superior water and cleaning solution pickup for a professional floor finish. Its durable rubber blades and metal frame construction ensure long-lasting performance, even under heavy commercial or industrial use. The squeegee efficiently removes water, solution, and debris, leaving floors dry and safe immediately after scrubbing or polishing operations. By providing consistent pressure across the entire width of the squeegee, this accessory reduces streaking and minimizes the need for multiple passes, saving time and labor.
The front mount design enhances operational efficiency by positioning the squeegee in the optimal location for effective water collection. This allows operators to achieve a streak-free finish while maintaining control of the floor machine during cleaning.
Why It Matters
Using a high-quality squeegee is critical for maintaining professional cleaning standards. A poorly performing squeegee can leave streaks, puddles, or wet spots, compromising safety and appearance. The 28.5" width of this squeegee maximizes surface coverage per pass, reducing cleaning time on large floor areas. Front mount squeegees also ensure better maneuverability and stability, allowing even pressure distribution on uneven surfaces. By improving water pickup efficiency, this squeegee helps prevent slip hazards and ensures that floors are immediately safe for traffic after cleaning.
