National Equipment 8000 Propane Powered Ride On Machine

National Equipment 8000 Propane‑Powered Ride‑On Floor Scraper

The National 8000 Ride‑On Scraper is a high‑torque, propane floor scraper engineered for large‑scale commercial and industrial surface removal. Combining the speed and power of propane with National’s patented carbide angle‑shank technology and the standard Dual‑Lift hydraulic slide plate, the 8000 delivers fast removal rates, clean blade engagement, and precise control—ideal for carpet, VCT, vinyl sheet, rubber, hardwood, ceramic tile, coatings, and tough adhesives. A compact footprint, zero‑turn hydraulic steering, and 21″ non‑marking tires help you maneuver in tight spaces while maintaining consistent downforce and productivity across long shifts.
