The Powr-Flite Classic Series Floor Machines (Models C171HD and C201HD) are heavy-duty commercial buffers built for long-term durability and consistent performance. Designed with all-metal construction and a 1.5 HP, 175 RPM triple planetary drive system, these machines deliver the torque required for scrubbing, buffing, polishing, and floor maintenance across multiple surface types.
Precision-balanced weight distribution and a flexible pad driver (sold separately) support smooth operation and full pad contact, while safety-focused controls and non-marking bumpers help protect both the operator and surrounding surfaces. Assembled and tested in Texas, the Classic Series is engineered for reliability in schools, gyms, retail spaces, and janitorial programs.
