Good to know
- Buy the frame width to match the blades you stock, not the other way around. A frame with no matching blade on the truck is dead weight.
- Keep a second frame loaded with a different blade. You cannot change a blade once the material is mixed.
- Confirm the pole thread against the handles you already own so you are not hunting for an adapter on job day.
- Rinse the frame before resin cures in it. Cured epoxy in the blade channel makes the next blade sit crooked, which shows up as an uneven pass.
About the Midwest Rake® S550 Professional™ EasySqueegee® Frame
This is the frame half of the Midwest Rake S550 Professional EasySqueegee system, offered in 18 inch and 26 inch. The frame is what holds the blade and takes the pole, so it is the part that sees the abuse and the part worth buying once. Blades are consumables and get changed out as they wear or as the job calls for a different profile. The frame stays.
Buy the frame in the width that matches the blades you actually run. An 18 inch is the general purpose size for garages, bays, interior work and anywhere you have to steer around obstacles. A 26 inch covers more ground per pass and earns its keep on open commercial slab and on cleanup, water removal and prep work where speed matters more than precision.
Most coating crews end up with more than one frame set up rather than swapping blades in the middle of a pour. Once material is mixed there is no time to change a blade, so having a second frame with a different blade already mounted is the difference between a clean floor and a rushed one. Check the pole thread on your existing handles so the frame and your poles work together.
What it is used for
- Spreading coatings on garage and commercial floors
- Water and slurry removal during grinding and prep
- Cleanup and rinse work after wet prep
- Second frame kept loaded with a different blade for fast changeover
Questions about this product
Does this frame come with a blade?
This listing is for the Midwest Rake S550 Professional EasySqueegee frame, which is the component that holds the blade and accepts the pole. Blades are the consumable part of the system and are selected separately by width and profile to match the work you are doing.
What widths does the EasySqueegee frame come in?
The Midwest Rake S550 EasySqueegee frame is offered in 18 inch and 26 inch. The 18 inch is the general purpose size for garages and interior work where you need to steer around obstacles, and the 26 inch covers more ground per pass on open commercial slab.
Can I use this frame for both coatings and water removal?
Yes, an EasySqueegee frame is simply a carrier for whichever blade you mount in it, so the same Midwest Rake frame handles both coating application and wet prep cleanup on the same job. Most crews keep separate frames loaded rather than cleaning a resin-fouled one.
Do I need a separate pole?
The EasySqueegee frame accepts a threaded pole, which is bought to suit the reach you need. Check the thread on the handles you already run so the frame and your existing poles work together, and pick pole length by the size of the floors you usually cover.
