The National 5200QL is a battery-powered ride-on floor scraper with a slide-out battery pack that loads from the rear, so a charged pack can be swapped in on jobs that need continuous operation. National lists it for commercial surface removal and preparation and says it is quiet and compact enough for residential jobs. The 2026 National catalog lists it as a special-order machine.

Fluids and lubricants
What National specifies for this machine.
- Hydraulic oil: Texaco Rando 46 or a compatible ISO or AW #46 fluid from a brand-name manufacturer. Tank holds 6 gallons (22.7 L) total; plan on 5.5 gallons (20.8 L) at an oil change because some oil stays in the system.
