The EDCO 2GC-NG Gasoline MAGNA-TRAP Dual-Disc Floor Grinder stands as the definitive choice for high-performance concrete grinding, floor leveling, coating removal, and surface preparation in commercial, industrial, and repair settings. Purpose-built for productivity, consistency, and operator comfort, this powerful dual-disc grinder leverages heavy-duty engineering and the innovative Magna-Trap slide-on tooling system to deliver exceptional results across large floor areas, uneven slabs, and tough coatings.

Product Overview

The EDCO 2GC-NG is powered by a dependable 13 HP Honda gasoline engine, making it perfect for outdoor or ventilation-limited job sites where electric access is unavailable. Its counter-rotating dual discs, wedge-less tooling system, rugged steel chassis, and advanced leveling technology ensure even coverage, smooth operation, and easy handling for both experienced professionals and new operators.

Key Features

• Wedge-less Magna-Trap System: EDCO’s proprietary tooling eliminates the need for wooden wedges, enabling rapid accessory changes with Dyma-Serts, Strip-Serts, Magna-Blades, and polish pads—streamlining workflow and adapting instantly to changing job requirements.

• Level Grinding Technology: Exclusive EDCO leveling system promotes flat, uniform finishes and extends tooling life by maintaining ideal tool-to-surface contact.

• Heavy-Duty Velcro Dust Shroud: Adjustable rubber skirt captures dust at its source and accommodates changes in accessory height, supporting OSHA-compliant dust management.

• 21.5" Working Width: Maximizes coverage—grinds 400–500 square feet per hour at 1/32" depth; perfect for warehouses, mall concourses, runways, and large commercial floors.

• Multi-Vac Port: Accepts either 2" or 3" industrial vacuum hoses, allowing full compatibility with top dust collectors for dry or wet grinding.

• Laser-Cut Weight Tray: Holds up to 80 lbs. of extra weight for deeper cuts, more aggressive coating removal, and improved balance on uneven surfaces.

• Counter-Rotating Discs: Prevents machine “pull,” keeping passes straight and easy to control during long runs or tight navigation.

• Magnetic Multi-Accessory Discs: Accept all Magna-Trap accessories for maximum versatility across grinding, scraping, and removal tasks.

• Easy Handling: Ergonomic handle, balanced chassis, and push design ensure smooth movement and reduced operator fatigue.

Performance & Benefits

• Ultimate Productivity: Boasts 21.5” (nearly 22”) dual-disc grinding width, covering more ground with each pass and slashing job completion times—even on floor restoration, coating removal, or joint leveling tasks.

• Level, Uniform Results: Patented leveling tech and wedge-less accessory system ensure flat surfaces and evenly worn tooling, leading to professional-grade finishes.

• Superior Dust Management: Full skirt, multi-vac port, and water compatibility support nearly dustless operation, keeping both job site and operator safe from harmful silica and cleanup delays.

• Standalone Operation: Heavy-duty gasoline engine frees you from extension cords and generators, ideal for large exterior spaces or new builds.

Typical Applications

• Large-Scale Concrete Grinding: Smooth warehouse, mall, or plant floors; create uniform surfaces for new overlays.

• Coating & Urethane Removal: Strip paints, epoxies, adhesives, and thin-set for floor renovations and demo.

• Joint & Slab Leveling: Eliminate trip hazards and uneven transitions in retail, industrial, or municipal settings.

• Surface Texturing: Prep floors for slip resistance, polish, or finishing; remove high spots and minor spalling.

• Surface Cleaning: Remove oil spots, ice, surface contamination before new installs.

Maintenance & Operator Tips

• Daily Routine: Clean under skirt, wipe down discs, clear engine cooling fins, empty vacuum bags/hoses after each shift.

• Lubrication: Grease flange bearings after every 50 hours (2 pumps per fitting); do not over-lubricate to prevent grease leaks.

• Accessory Rotation: Spin and swap Dyma-Serts/other tooling every four hours for even wear—lock out engine before adjustments.

• Engine Care: Check & top off oil daily, keep air filter clear, and follow Honda’s service intervals for spark plug and carburetor maintenance.

• Belt Tension: Re-tension new belts after initial break-in and check regularly; always replace as a set for best performance.

• Pre-Operation Inspection: Confirm all bolts/nuts are tight, check for wire or fuel line wear, and ensure guards are in place.

• Safety: Always wear PPE, check fuel lines for leaks, ventilate work area, and never operate indoors without exhaust extraction.
