Description

The National Flooring Equipment 8000 Gas Ride-On Scraper is a high-performance propane-powered floor removal machine designed for large-scale commercial and industrial projects. Built for maximum torque, speed and blade control, the 8000 delivers exceptional productivity when removing ceramic tile, thick adhesives, pavers, brick, membranes, wood flooring, and industrial coatings.

Powered by a 25HP propane engine, this ride-on scraper eliminates the need for 3-phase power or generators, making it ideal for warehouses, car parks, retail units, distribution centres and remote sites. With operating speeds of up to 61 metres per minute and an adjustable hydraulic dual-lift slide plate system, operators can fine-tune blade angle and downforce for precise, efficient material removal.

National’s patented carbide angle-shank technology ensures superior penetration and reduced blade deflection, allowing the 8000 to remove up to 95% of adhesive in just one to two passes when correctly set up.

Weighing 1,344 kg with removable ballast, the machine provides excellent traction and stability while allowing weight adjustments depending on the application.

The 8000 Ride-On Scraper is the ultimate solution for contractors who demand speed, reliability, and heavy-duty performance on high-volume floor stripping projects.
