The National Equipment 6280-HD Gladiator Heavy Duty Hydraulic Self-Propelled Floor Scraper removes the toughest of today’s hard and soft goods with power, precision, and reliability. From ceramic tile and hardwoods to sheet vinyl, linoleum, and thin-set, the Gladiator delivers high-torque hydraulic performance in a compact, maneuverable design ideal for confined job sites.
Overview
The 6280-HD Gladiator is the heavier, more powerful big brother to the 6280 Commander. This hydraulically driven, forward and reverse, self-propelled walk-behind scraper is engineered for efficient removal of both soft and hard surface materials. Its advanced design reduces operator fatigue while maximizing productivity, making it ideal for use in confined spaces such as bathrooms, freezers, and utility rooms.
Equipped with side slide weights that can be shifted forward for added head pressure or moved rearward for improved traction, the Gladiator ensures optimal performance across any flooring surface. Its six-position adjustable handle and compact frame allow for easy transport and operation under counters or in tight spaces.
