Shipping: LTL freight. Commercial delivery preferred.

The A97 is the largest shot blaster in National's Apex series, a self-propelled variable-speed machine cutting a 10 in path at up to 2,000 sq ft per hour. It runs on 230 V three-phase power at 30 amps behind a 10 HP blasting motor, and its rebound plenum is tilted so the blast path reaches within 1/8 in of a wall.

Shipping & Freight

For an order containing products from a single brand, shipping is a flat rate based on your order total:

  • Orders up to $5,000: $279
  • Orders $5,000 to $10,000: $347
  • Orders $10,000 and over: $517

These rates cover standard freight delivery to a commercial address. After you place your order, our team will confirm your delivery timeline within 1 to 3 business days.

Ordering from more than one brand? Multi-brand orders ship on separate freight and are quoted individually rather than at the flat rate above. Place your order or contact us first and we will confirm total freight before anything is finalized.

Liftgate service is not included in these rates. If your delivery location has no loading dock or forklift to unload the freight from the truck, liftgate service is required and will be added to your shipping charge. If you are unsure whether you need it, contact us before ordering.

Commercial delivery locations are preferred when available. Residential delivery, limited-access locations, and appointment scheduling may affect handling.

Lead times vary by product, manufacturer availability, and selected options. Some configured, special-order, or non-stock items require additional processing time before they ship.

Please inspect all freight shipments at delivery before signing. If you see visible damage, note it with the carrier and contact us as soon as possible.

If you need freight, delivery, or lead-time guidance before ordering, contact our team before you purchase.

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.

Returns & Warranty

Warranty coverage is provided by the product manufacturer where applicable. Warranty terms, coverage periods, exclusions, and claim procedures vary by brand and product type.

Hardscape Heavy does not create separate warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer’s warranty unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Returns are governed by our store return policy. Because many products in this category involve freight shipping, special ordering, or configuration-specific selections, return eligibility may vary by product and condition. Special-order, custom-configured, used, damaged, or installed items may not be eligible for return.

Please review our full return policy before purchase. If you have questions about return eligibility or manufacturer warranty coverage for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

The A97 is the machine for wide open floors on large jobs. It cuts a ten inch path at up to two thousand square feet an hour, self-propelled and variable speed, on three-phase building power. Where the A95 and A96 are sized for rooms, the A97 is sized for warehouse bays, retail shells and industrial slabs that have to be profiled in a single mobilisation.

Its rebound plenum is tilted, which is visible in the machine's stance: it leans to one side. That lean is what puts the blast path within an eighth of an inch of a wall, so the edge work a blaster normally leaves behind for a hand grinder is cut by the blaster itself.

Control follows the same pattern as the A96. A joystick handle carries a two-button arrangement that lets the operator run the machine one-handed, which is what speeds up the turn at the end of a row. Two LED lights throw light ahead of and behind the machine so blast overlap and the profile being cut stay readable in an unlit shell. Dust is handled by pairing the machine with National's DL4000P collector.

Common Applications

  • Profiling warehouse, retail and industrial floors for coatings
  • Large-area surface preparation where three-phase 230 V is available
  • Blasting to a wall line without a separate edging pass

Selection Notes

  • Requires 230 V three-phase power on a 30 amp circuit
  • Pairs with the DL4000P dust collector, sold separately
  • Step down to the A96 for an 8 in path on single-phase power
