New walk-behind scraper is up to 50 times as fast
Floor preparation contractors often face a trade-off between the power of a ride-on scraper and the portability of a walk-behind. Now, National Flooring Equipment has closed that gap with the launch of the Rogue—a groundbreaking, all-electric walk-behind scraper that delivers ride-on performance in a compact, highly maneuverable form.
The Power of a Ride-On, in a Walk-Behind
Traditionally, walk-behind scrapers are limited by slower speeds and less responsive controls. The Rogue redefines this category. With precision electric steering, a travel speed of up to 150 ft/min, and a fully adjustable blade angle at the touch of a button, the Rogue delivers unmatched speed, control, and versatility for contractors.
Unlike legacy walk-behinds that rely on hydraulics, the Rogue is fully electric, enabling smoother maneuverability and greater efficiency. Where conventional models max out around 30 ft/min, the Rogue runs five times faster, drastically reducing jobsite time without sacrificing removal performance.
Smarter Controls, Better Results
Ease-of-use was a top priority in the Rogue’s design. Contractors can steer the machine using intuitive toggles on the handle, navigating forward, reverse, left, or right with minimal effort. Adjusting blade angle is just as simple, press a button to control the pitch in real-time, eliminating the need for manual adjustments or swapping attachments.
The Rogue also gives operators full control over oscillation speed. While all National Flooring Equipment tools use vibration to assist with floor removal, previous walk-behinds offered no customization. Now, with a dial to control oscillation, contractors can fine-tune tooling performance based on the floor type:
- Turn oscillation off completely when removing adhesive
- Increase oscillation to power through hard goods like tile or wood
Designed for Real-World Challenges
“We wanted to rethink the entire walk-behind category,” said Connie Hardy, Vice President of Marketing at National Flooring Equipment. “Contractors told us maneuverability was a major pain point, especially when working with heavy materials. The Rogue answers that call with unmatched control and ease.”
The Rogue is also engineered for easier transport. Its modular design allows weights to be removed and the machine split into lighter parts. This makes it easier to lift into a vehicle or carry upstairs on multi-level jobs, without sacrificing the power needed to remove tough floor coverings.
A New Standard in Walk-Behind Scrapers
From adjustable blade angles to user-controlled oscillation and high-speed maneuverability, the Rogue sets a new benchmark for walk-behind scrapers. It’s built for contractors who need speed, precision, and versatility on every floor prep job.
