Floor strippers from Tyrolit for removing tiles, parquet, vinyl and carpet – electric, reliable and easy to use.
Anyone who needs to remove floor coverings professionally requires a machine that can strip both hard and soft coverings safely and efficiently — without damaging the subfloor. Tyrolit electric floor strippers are designed precisely to meet these requirements: floor fitters, screed layers and renovation contractors use them when parquet, tiles, vinyl or carpet need to be removed quickly and across large areas. The range covers all common floor coverings encountered in everyday construction and renovation work. These include directly bonded hardwood parquet, ceramic and stoneware tiles, vinyl and PVC flooring, linoleum, carpet and adhesive residues, as well as levelling compounds, sealants and coatings. The floor strippers are used dry and are therefore ready for immediate use on typical building sites without a water supply.
An electric floor stripper operates with a direct-drive hammer mechanism: the machine moves forwards under its own power, driving a tool — either a blade or a chisel, depending on the floor covering — against the floor surface at a high frequency. The tool peels the covering away from the substrate without damaging the concrete or screed beneath. Tyrolit floor strippers feature a unique self-propulsion system that can be operated either manually or in automatic mode. Thanks to a height-adjustable drawbar and ergonomic control handles with an integrated deadman’s switch, operators retain full control of the machine at all times. The direct-drive impact mechanism is designed for low maintenance and is therefore built to withstand robust, continuous use on construction sites.
Tyrolit floor strippers remove all common floor coverings: directly bonded hardwood parquet, ceramic and stoneware tiles, vinyl flooring, PVC flooring, linoleum, as well as carpet and adhesive residues. They are also suitable for removing levelling compounds, sealants and coatings as part of substrate preparation. Choosing the right tool is crucial for the result: Chisels are used for hard floor coverings such as tiles and parquet, whilst various blade shapes are used for soft floor coverings such as vinyl, carpet and coatings. The Tyrolit range of accessories includes chisels in 25 mm and 50 mm versions, as well as blades in various widths and thicknesses — suitable for both floor stripper models.
Floor strippers and floor milling machines complement each other in substrate preparation, but serve different purposes. A floor stripper removes intact floor coverings — parquet, tiles, vinyl, carpet — from the substrate; in doing so, it does not damage the concrete or screed itself. A floor milling machine, on the other hand, removes material from the substrate itself — for example, to remove adhesive residues left behind after stripping, to repair damaged concrete, or to create a specific surface roughness prior to re-coating. Anyone wishing to remove a floor covering should start with the floor stripper. If the subfloor then needs to be prepared, the floor milling machine is used next. Tyrolit offers both types of machine, as well as the appropriate tools, within the same product range.
The right accessories are crucial for achieving the best results and maximum efficiency. There are two categories of tools for Tyrolit floor strippers: chisels for hard floor coverings such as tiles and directly bonded parquet, and blades for soft floor coverings such as vinyl, PVC, linoleum and carpet. The blades are available in various widths (200 mm, 250 mm, 350 mm) and thicknesses (1.5 mm or 2.5 mm), including U-shaped blades for special requirements. The blade angle on both models is adjustable in three stages to adapt the removal rate to the flooring type. Other available accessories include a dust extraction system for low-dust operation, transport wheels for easy movement of the machine, and a service box — which is included as standard with the FRE250.
FRE350 floor stripper — The most powerful floor stripper in the Tyrolit range, with a working width of 350 mm and a motor output of 1.5 kW. The three positioning options for the integrated weights allow for precise adjustment of the pressure distribution across the drive wheels or the tool — a crucial feature when dealing with varying floor conditions over large areas.
FRE250 floor stripper — The compact floor stripper with a working width of 250 mm and 1.1 kW, ideal for confined spaces and smaller areas. Four removable weights make transport and adjustment easier; the service box is included in the scope of delivery.
The most important factor when choosing a model is the working width: the Tyrolit FRE250, with a width of 250 mm, is suitable for smaller areas and confined spaces; the FRE350, with a width of 350 mm, is the ideal choice for large renovation projects where surface coverage is key. The second criterion is the type of flooring to be worked on — for hard surfaces (tiles, parquet), the more powerful hammer mechanism of the FRE350 is recommended. Thirdly, it is worth taking a look at the accessories: if you need to work with minimal dust, you will require the optional dust extraction system. In addition to its machinery, Tyrolit offers a comprehensive range of cutting tools and chisels, as well as maintenance and repair as a service — everything from a single source for reliable operation on site.
