Your shipping cost is shown at checkout before you pay.

Compatibility / Fitment

Compatibility varies by product type, machine setup, selected options, and intended application.

For machine-mounted equipment and attachments, buyers should confirm fitment before ordering using the relevant machine information, including model, attachment style, mount type, coupler type, hydraulic requirements, and any other product-specific requirements listed on the page.

Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

If you are unsure whether a product will work with your machine or application, contact us before placing the order.

The 5280 Panther is the step up from the 550 for crews taking on the floors that fight back: gummy commercial carpet, solid vinyl, radial rubber tile and sheet rubber, the coverings that a hand-pushed machine stalls against. It drives itself forward and is walked back by hand, so the operator sets the direction and the machine supplies the effort.

Variable speed is what separates it from a single-speed machine in daily use. Set low, it holds against a covering that resists; set high, it runs through easy carpet and VCT at transport pace instead of making the operator wait for it. That range is set at the handle rather than by changing anything on the machine.

At two hundred and sixty three pounds it still suits a rental customer with limited transport, because eighty six pounds of that is removable front and saddle weight. Take those off and the machine that just held down a rubber floor is a hundred and seventy seven pounds going back in the van.

Common Applications

  • Removing gummy commercial carpet, solid vinyl and rubber tile
  • Glued-down floor removal in residential and light commercial space
  • Rental work where transport weight limits the machine

Selection Notes

  • Self-propelled forward, manually driven backwards
  • Runs on 115 V building power at 12 amps
  • Blade holders 6280-500 and 6280-505 are available separately
