Does anybody know this machine?

It seems to be a vibrating square plate driving a regular terry towel.

It would get into the corners well!

Might be one of these (http://compactorwackerplate.co.uk/) but it would be a bit heavy to lug in and out of the van all the time!

Yes, a company in South Carolina did, or maybe still do a machine like this using a product called Argosheen. Their machine was lighter but using the same idea.

I imported an Argo machine like that about 15 years ago but it was too light. It works on the same principle as the rotary o/p machines.

I trialled an Squarescrub machine from US recently and found it tramlines badly on a 80/20. Stupidly never took to site or tried on office tiles.

Tomcat Edge I think it was being rebadged as. However, dry stripping of floor coatings with it was absolutely amazing.
