SITUP Products has released a
compact floor grinder/leveller
called Situp N Grind that operators
use while seated on a mobile stool.
Situp N Grind floor grinder and
leveller.
The package includes a 9” angle
grinder, diamond disc with a
dustless hood, balancing weights, a
set of elevated handles attached to
the grinder and a comfortable stool
with swivel castors. A removable
section on the hood and a folding
handle enable it to get close to
walls and into corners.
It is designed safer to eliminate
the occupational health and safety
problems associated with kneeling
and crouching on hard concrete while
using traditional hand grinders. It
also keeps the face well away from
the rotating disc to prevent dust
inhalation or eye irritation.
The mobile stool and the
balancing weights improve
productivity by around 300% and the
user is not physically stressed
while using it because it floats
easily across the work area with
little effort. The dry operation
with vacuum attached ensures that
there is no mess and the cleanup
afterwards is simply a quick vacuum
of the immediate area.
The grinder is used to improve
floor safety where concrete slabs
have lifted or become uneven. It can
quickly remove these protruding
tripping hazards and make floors
smoother and quieter for forklifts.
The Situp N Grind will quickly
take away old linemarking.
It can be used to clean and
prepare a floor before new safety
lines are laid to prevent chipping
and premature loss of adhesion of
the lines. This is also true for
in-house painting of floor areas up
to 150m2 in size which
can be economically prepared using
Situp N Grind.
The system was developed because
grinding while kneeling and crawling
was slow and exhausting work. It was
also highly hazardous to knees,
backs, arms and wrists. It was
designed and is manufactured in
Australia for contractors, industry
and DIY.
