Orbital floor machine technology has revolutionized professional floor care, delivering speed, safety, and finish quality. Hawk Enterprises’ orbital line, including the TigerHawk series, stands out thanks to proprietary design features: vibration isolation, a fully planted head, and unmatched weight-per-square-inch.
These machines offer superior operator comfort, faster performance, and best-in-class floor finishing results.
1. Operator-Focused Vibration Isolation
Unlike traditional rotary machines, which transmit vibrations directly to the user, Hawk’s orbital design isolates the head’s high-speed motion from the handle. The TigerHawk vibrates approximately ¼″ laterally at high frequency, but the primary and secondary isolators dampen the feedback reaching the operator. The result: smooth operation with minimal fatigue and noise, even during prolonged use.
The TigerHawk 1410, 2014 and 2814 with revolutionary WD Wheels Down floating head technology are the most productive orbitals on the market. With over 0.79 pounds per square inch of pressure moving at over 1740 RPM, you power through finish removal without chemicals. Scrub, strip, or sand floors effortlessly with less noise and fatigue.
Our large 1.5 HP, 180 frame TEFC motor is connected to a solid steel drive plate and balanced via easy access eccentric driver. Vibration isolators, combined with HAWK exclusive handle-carriage mounting system eliminates vibration to the operator.
2. Fully Planted Head = Maximum Production
Hawk’s orbital units maintain full head contact with the floor at all times. The rectangular floating head with backer pad design adapts to surface contours, keeping constant pressure and eliminating interruption during movement. Operators can consistently achieve optimal coverage without lifting or relaunching the machine, making cleaning, stripping, and burnishing faster and more methodical.
3. High Weight Density for Superior Finish
With 259 lbs of total weight acting over a 20″ × 14″ contact area, the TigerHawk delivers unmatched weight-per-square-inch pressure. That concentrated force penetrates finishes efficiently—whether stripping old flooring coat or burnishing marble, without resorting to higher RPMs that can splatter or damage surfaces.
4. Safe, Chemical-Free Surface Preparation
Hawk’s orbital vibration, paired with heavy-duty rectangular surface preparation pads, eliminates almost all need for chemical stripper. By mechanically removing coatings, the machine offers a cleaner, safer alternative, enhancing indoor air quality and reducing exposure to chemicals for both occupants and floor care staff.
5. Ergonomic in Corners and Open Areas
Thanks to its rectangular head, operators can reach right into corners and wall perimeters, while staying upright. Whether maneuvering along baseboards on wood floors or prepping polished concrete in large facilities, Hawk’s orbital design outperforms traditional circular buffers that struggle to achieve edge-to-edge coverage.
6. Easy to Learn, Durable by Design
Hawk’s orbital machines balance power with simplicity: they run at around 1740 RPM while vibrating dramatically, no need for complex controls or robotic navigation. The rugged construction, sealed bearings, planetary gear drives, and powder-coated steel handles make them reliable, easy to maintain, and trainable in minutes.
Hawk’s Orbital Floor Machine Technology
HAWK G2 Raptor Orbital Floor Machine
The HAWK G2 Raptor has a 20-inch wide rectangular head and is easy to maneuver with less vibration and operator fatigue than other orbiting brands. The G2 Raptor easily reaches into corners and along baseboards.
The HAWK G2 Raptor strips floor finish without chemicals. It is excellent for sanding, scrubbing and stone polishing. Use wet or dry. Easy to learn. Easy to use.
Hawk Enterprises’ orbital floor machines deliver unmatched finish quality through thoughtful design: isolating vibration, planting the head, and focusing weight where it matters most. The result is faster, safer, and more consistent cleaning—on marble, concrete, and resilient surfaces alike. For professionals who demand superior productivity without compromise, the Hawk orbital advantage is clear.
Sustainable Cleaning: Orbital Floor Machine
The HAWK RedTail 2014-180 is great for surface preparation and cleaning any hard surface. The unique “Floating Head” WD TM Wheels Down handle carriage design provides 100% contact with the floor for perfect operator control. The handle is easily removed for transport and storage.
The 180 frame HD motor with severe-duty helical-cut gears orbits pads at 1740 RPM, making the RedTail ideal for the harshest jobs. Use wet or dry.
Hawk Enterprises’ orbital floor machines offer a compelling solution for eco-friendly facility maintenance. They combine the effectiveness of cleaning and restoration equipment for concrete flooring, equipment for wood flooring, and restoration tools for marble flooring with sustainability-focused benefits—less energy, less labor, and zero chemicals. For anyone managing commercial spaces and targeting ESG standards, Hawk delivers both performance and green credentials.
