New Aztec LowRider 21" Propane Burnisher
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The 21 in LowRider is the size we point people to when the floor has a lot of tight spots: grocery and retail aisles, school hallways, back rooms and spaces under fixtures. Aztec rates it at up to 27,000 sq ft per hour, and with the deck only about 4 in high it gets under racks and displays where a taller burnisher stops short. Of the three LowRider sizes it spins the pad fastest, at 2,092 rpm, so it brings up a high gloss on VCT, polished concrete and terrazzo. Power comes from an 18 hp, 603 cc Kawasaki propane engine with a 12 V key start and a catalytic muffler, and the steel body is built to take daily use. Adjustable back wheels let the operator set pad pressure for the floor. If your facility is mostly wide open floor, look at the 24 in or 27 in models. If you burnish around a lot of shelving and fixtures, the 21 in is the one to start with.”
A 21 in high-speed propane burnisher with a 4 in deck
The Aztec LowRider 21 in is a walk-behind propane burnisher for daily and weekly maintenance of VCT, polished concrete and terrazzo floors. It burnishes up to 27,000 sq ft per hour (2,508 m²/h) with the pad turning at 2,092 rpm, and the deck is only about 4 in (10 cm) high so it reaches under racks, shelving and fixtures.

Questions
Aztec LowRider 21 in: common questions
What floors is the LowRider made for?
Aztec builds the LowRider for daily maintenance of VCT, polished concrete and terrazzo floors. Pick the burnishing or diamond pad that matches your floor and finish.
How much floor can it burnish in an hour?
Aztec rates the 21 in LowRider at up to 27,000 sq ft per hour (2,508 m²/h). Actual coverage depends on the floor, the pad and how the machine is driven.
Can it get under shelving?

The 21 in LowRider is 44 in (112 cm) long, 23.5 in (60 cm) wide and 36 in (92 cm) high. Measure your narrowest doorway and aisle before you order.
Is a dust control version available?
