(Newswire.net – May 23, 2013) Redmond, WA — The solution to providing an alternative for propane powered flooring removal equipment is battery or electric powered surface preparation equipment.
Restrictions on using propane powered Flooring Removal Equipment when quoting commercial jobs are becoming increasingly more frequent. Factors contributing to these restrictions may include risk of CO poisoning as well as noise level, weight and size.
“Manufacturers of ride-on equipment have made available a variety of electric and battery powered machines as an alternative to propane powered equipment for surface preparation” says David Forrest of Industrial Equipment Company..
Electric machines are available for 110 volt and 220 volt.
Battery powered machines are available with “quick change” batteries for running equipment around the clock as well as batteries that will hold a charge for a complete shift and easily recharged overnight.
Electric and battery powered machines may also be more suited than the propane powered for upper floors of multi-story buildings, enclosed spaces and areas where load requirements pose a problem. The noise level when electric and battery powered machines are in use is also significantly less when used in occupied office buildings, hospitals, nursing homes, etc.
Both electric and battery powered machines are capable of removing carpet, vinyl, glued down hardwood, mastic, thin set ceramic tile, elastomeric and urethane coatings and thin mil epoxy coatings.
