XDS Floor Scraper - "The Beast"
What Is a Ride-On Floor Scraper?
A ride-on floor scraper (also called a ride-on floor stripper or floor removal machine) is designed to strip away flooring and coatings quickly and safely. By using the weight and hydraulic power of your skid steer, the XDS provides more force, less operator fatigue, and faster job completion than traditional equipment.
Typical uses include:
- Commercial tile removal
- Asphalt scraping
- Epoxy and waterproofing removal
- Thinset and mortar removal
- Carpet and mastic removal
Why Use a Skid Steer Ride-On Scraper Attachment?
Contractors choose a skid steer scraper attachment because it:
Delivers Maximum Force – 14 removable 110 lb weights keep 2,000 lbs of downforce on the blade.
Boosts Productivity – Wide heads and optimized attack angles clear more surface per pass.
Reduces Labour Costs – Replace multiple walk-behind scrapers with one ride-on unit.
Increases Versatility – Interchangeable heads for different materials and job types.
Common Applications
Epoxy & Waterproofing Removal
Strip away epoxy coatings, membranes, and hot rubber waterproofing systems with ease. The HEAVY and SUPER Blades are engineered to handle sticky, flexible materials while maintaining blade life and operator efficiency.
Asphalt Removal
Take on asphalt overlays and built-up layers with confidence. Paired with the 10" asphalt head and XTREME Blade, the XDS cuts deep and lifts stubborn material that walk-behind units can’t touch.
Tile Removal
Tear through ceramic tile, mortar, and thinset without the backbreaking labour. The XDS delivers the force needed to shear under tough surfaces, leaving a clean base ready for the next install.
