Wanna see the baddest CRB on the plannet?

[Giorgio]

Too bad hey Marty, blow me

Hahahaha!!

thathurts But I wanted to see it!

thathurts But I wanted to see it!

So does he, but his belly hangs over too much. :mrgreen:

 

[Giorgio]

started this thread from my smartphone and can't post pictures until I get to my computer.

I can't believe Chavez is the only person interested in checking out a couple new CRB's fresh off the boat from Germany. Built by the same guys who brought us the BMW, Mercedes and Porche.

Thinking bout cancelling my trip to m8f this month.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yea and I'm not even a real carpet cleaner anymore. :mrgreen:

 

[Giorgio]

if this was a thread about a POS 1988 toyota 4x4 that only a dumbass thinks is worth anything this thread would be 3 pages long already...

These CRB's are top secret man!

Do you understand what that means? I'm not even supposed to be telling anyone about them man...

If you guys don't want to see pictures then that's cool with me.

My lips are sealed....

 

[Larry Cobb]

George;

Lots of the Cylindrical Brush Machines are built in Europe.

Austria builds several of the most popular brands (one that we carry).

Germany might have some well-engineered models also.

I always like to see machinery pictures.

And lederhosen and the Vorwerk vacuum cleaner.

 

[Ron Werner]

well?

 

[Desk Jockey]

He left it on the slopes and the ski bike guys took it home with them. :mrgreen:

 

[Giorgio]

got a call yesterday to do a 1500 s/f residential unit on the 10th floor.

Planning to encap the carpets today with one of my new CRB's.

I'll get you guys some real world shots of them in action out in the field.

I'll upload them later for you! !gotcha!

You have to admit those 3Ski's are neat... 8) Even Cobb would have a good time riding one...

 

[Desk Jockey]

Those are cool, I'd think the front should have dual ski's also for better stability?

Did any of you wipe out on them George?

No man!

No wipeouts on the 3Ski's.

Ron and I shredded the mountain with em too.

Here's a cool video of a 3ski.

[Desk Jockey]

Ok they operate a little differently than I pictured. Cool!

 

[Giorgio]

yup!

It's totally like standing on the motor of a 175 rpm swing machine except the RPM's are cranked up to 2400rpm.

If you can operate a swing machine you can shred with a 3ski 8)

 

[Desk Jockey]

I've run a 175 since I was a teen.

However I think I could fall pretty good off the 3ski and the only thing shredded would be my ass.

:mrgreen:

 

[idreadnought]

what a crap thread.

 

[Desk Jockey]

The way the man jerked us along, you'd think he was selling them.

 

[Giorgio]

ok,, sorry

guess i got a little too happy... it happens sometimes... especially when new floor equipment is involved.

i shouldn't have said "baddest CRB on the plannet" because it makes me sound like that dork from tmf !dork! instead of the dork from MB Iseeru

Here's a youtube i shot for ya's as well. The crb was a little bouncy but i think it was cuz the brushes hand't been broken in yet and it was a thick pile carpet.

the thing cleaned way better than my host machines. It was way quieter too. I could even here my cell phone ring for a change

[lance]

George, did you get that one off of Ebay?

Since you have the dolly for it you could buy one or both of the "holding bins."

it looks like it is in great condition.

 

[BradFenstermaker]

Nice George that thing looks nice. Hope the bouncing stops. Have the been sitting in that cradle and tweeked the brushes?

 

[Mikey P]

I've had the same unit for 9 years now.


only gets used on tile, once in a while.


shitty for encap work


George, please have Daniel's mom rate you too.

 

[Giorgio]

Really?

I don't know who Daniels mom is. Come to think of it, I'm not sure who Daniel is either.

Mikey, if you don't mind me asking why do you reach for the Hoss instead of your cbr?

I have RX-20's but prefer to cbr scrub and give a quick rinse with a wand.

Why am i just now getting turned onto these counter rotating brush machines?

They pre-scrub like cRaZY!

 

[Giorgio]

I just realized a cbr won't work as well for encapping because you need a bonnet to absorb some of the dirt.

But, I can't see how anything could pre-condition a carpet for extraction better than a counter rotating brush machine.

 

[Mikey P]

sure they dig out some hair and rip out fibers but they dont do much for greasy soil at all IME

 

[Larry Cobb]

George;

Looks like it is the same basic Austrian cylindrical brush machine that we carry.

Is it 20" wide ?

I think they clean very well . . .

at a high production rate.

Larry

 

[Ron Werner]

looks like a Whittaker. I prefer a CRB over a rotary style, easier to use.
They do look nice when they're new

 

[idreadnought]

baddest crb from germany? That machine is from austria. He may of imported them from germany which is very close to austria but that is defiantly the austrian made machine. That 12" one on ebay is super cheap but not worth the extra time it would take to scrub.
