In 1976, a remarkable LÄGLER HUMMEL floor sanding machine left the factory in Germany, beginning its decades-long journey in the hands of professional floor sanders. Over the years, this machine has been at the heart of countless sanding projects, standing the test of time with exceptional durability and performance. However, after 48 years of service, even the most robust machines need a little TLC.
1976: A Year to Remember
What a year it was! Southampton FC lifted the FA Cup after a legendary victory over Manchester United, Concorde made its first commercial flight from Heathrow, and among all the milestones, this LÄGLER HUMMEL began its story in the world of floor sanding. Designed to deliver unparalleled sanding results, the HUMMEL has long been the gold standard for professional floor sanders worldwide.
A Machine Worth Restoring
At KHR, we don’t usually weld or repaint LÄGLER machines as part of our servicing, but in this case, we made an exception. This HUMMEL had earned it. After almost five decades of sanding floors, its chassis needed a major repair, and the entire machine required a careful restoration. Our team of specialists got to work, ensuring that this iconic piece of equipment could continue sanding floors for years to come.
