FOR CANADIAN SCHOOL FACILITY MANAGERS & OPERATIONAL DIRECTORS
Cut Floor Stripping Labor By 50% and Never Scrub a Baseboard by Hand Again.
See why school boards are switching to the Centaur Rabbit-3 to let one custodian do the work of two - eliminating overtime and paying for itself in under 12 months.
The 4 Hidden Costs Eating Your Custodial Budget
Your current floor care setup is costing you more than you think. Here's how:
The "Cleanup After Cleaning" Cost: Standard machines spray wax and chemicals onto your walls and lockers. Your staff wastes hours every week just cleaning up the mess the machine made.
Equipment Bloat: You are currently buying separate machines for stripping, polishing, and tight spaces (like washrooms). That's 3x the maintenance and 3x the storage space.
Slow Stripping Speed: Lightweight machines require 3 or 4 passes to strip a floor. That doubles the time it takes to finish a hallway and drives up overtime costs during summer cleaning.
The Baseboard Bottleneck: Manual baseboard scrubbing is the most hated job in the industry. It destroys staff morale, causes injuries, and burns hundreds of labor hours.
The result? You are paying for overtime and repairs instead of investing in your school.
The Only Machine That Cuts School Maintenance Costs in 6 Ways
Most floor machines just spin a pad. The Rabbit-3 is a modular labor-saving system engineered to eliminate the specific bottlenecks that cause wasteful hours and overtime: baseboards, slow stripping, and cleanup mess.
Here's how it works:
The Scrub Jay: Clean Baseboards While You Strip
Stop scrubbing on your knees. The Scrub Jay attachment cleans baseboards automatically at the same time you strip the floor. Turn a 5-hour manual job into a 30-minute automated task.
(Saves 100+ hours of manual labor per year)
Horseshoe Weights: Cut Stripping Time in Half
Standard machines are too light to strip effectively. Our 40lb weights add massive downward pressure, cutting through wax in fewer passes. One custodian with a Rabbit-3 does the work of two.
(Reduces summer stripping schedule by 50%)
SplashGuard: Eliminate "Cleanup" Time
Turn three knobs to drop the guard. It traps all splatter, keeping walls and lockers clean. Never waste time wiping down walls after floor work again.
(Prevents damage to lockers and painted walls)
Dual-Size Deck: Two Machines in One
Switch from 18" to 13" in seconds to clean tight washroom stalls. Stop buying separate "mini" machines for tight spaces. The Rabbit-3 handles it all.
(Saves $4,000+ on buying a second machine)
Portability: No Truck Required
Pull two pins to separate the motor base from the handle. It fits in any car trunk, meaning your team can move it between schools instantly without waiting for a district truck or risking back injuries lifting heavy gear.
(Solves logistics between buildings)
Total Versatility: Stop Buying Single-Purpose Machines
VCT, Terrazzo, Gym Floors, and Carpets. Why buy a carpet extractor and a polisher? The Rabbit-3 adapts to every surface, reducing your total fleet size and maintenance costs.
(Consolidates your equipment budget)
Built to Last Decades, Not Years
Most floor machines are made from cheap parts and need repairs or replacing every 3-5 years (by design). The Rabbit-3 is built with steel and industrial components right here in Canada. Most Rabbit-3s from the 1990s are still running today. Stop burning your budget on 'disposable' equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
While pricing depends on what you need, most schools see complete payback within 6-12 months just from labour savings. Your free demo includes a custom breakdown showing your potential ROI.
Can I talk to other schools that use it?
Absolutely. We're happy to connect you with school administrators who've been using the Rabbit-3 successfully. Many are eager to share their cost savings and experience.
Is it hard to use?
Not at all. Most features work with simple knob turns or quick attachments. We include full instructions, and most operators feel comfortable by the end of their first shift.
Who makes the Rabbit-3?
Centaur Floor Machines, right here in Canada. We've been making floor care machines for over 60 years. Many Rabbit-3s from the 1990s are still running today.
What about service and support?
We have service partners across Canada. But here's the thing: the Rabbit-3's industrial-grade build means breakdowns are rare. Many units run for decades with basic maintenance.
Can it handle all our different floors?
Yes. VCT, terrazzo, tile, carpet, gym floors—every surface you have. We'll show you during your demo.
What chemicals does it use?
It works with most standard floor care chemicals you're already using. For baseboard cleaning, we recommend our non-toxic TroubleGone, but any neutral pH chemical that breaks down wax will work.
What's the warranty?
Every Rabbit-3 comes with our 3-Year Ironclad Guarantee. Full bumper-to-bumper coverage. If there's any mechanical or electrical problem from a manufacturing defect, we'll repair or replace it free. All repairs stay covered for the full warranty term.
