Shipping & Freight

We ship to the 48 contiguous states. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, military (APO/FPO/DPO) addresses or outside the United States.

Smaller items ship by parcel carrier, priced by weight. Larger items and heavy equipment ship by LTL freight, priced by your ZIP code and the delivery type you choose: terminal pickup and dock delivery cost the least, and commercial liftgate, residential liftgate and jobsite delivery each add the carrier’s fee. Your shipping cost is shown at checkout before you pay.

The best way to get a shipping quote or ask a freight question is the Get a Freight Quote button on this page. You can also call (805) 398-6165.

Delivery types, delivery times, terminal pickup, liftgate service and damage inspection are covered in our Shipping Policy.

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 550 is the machine a crew reaches for when the room is too small or the floor too light to justify bringing in a rider. Residential work, closets and corridors, and the confined corners of a commercial job are what it is sized for, and it is the companion machine that finishes what a bigger scraper cannot reach.

Its weight is the whole design. At seventy-nine pounds with the front weight removed, one person carries it up a flight of stairs, and the handle telescopes so it travels in a car rather than needing a truck. That makes it the practical rental unit in the line and the one a contractor buys second rather than first.

The head works by orbital action rather than by percussion, which is what lets a machine this light stay under the work instead of bouncing off it. Recent revisions changed the height adjustment mechanism and simplified removing the front weight, both of which are jobsite handling rather than performance.

Common Applications

  • Carpet, VCT and adhesive removal in residential rooms
  • Confined and tight commercial spaces a rider cannot enter
  • Rental and companion-machine work alongside a larger scraper

Selection Notes

  • Runs on 115 V building power at 14 amps
  • Blade holders 6280-500 and 6280-505 are available separately
