General Equipment Company's SP8/GH9HP surface planer is designed for a wide range of job applications, including milling misaligned sidewalks and joints, removing thermo and cold plastic markings and prepping floors for new coating applications.

Powered by a 9.0-horsepower Honda GX270 4-stroke gasoline engine, the SP8/GH9HP planer is built with a unitized, welded steel plate frame, a full-length hexagon driveshaft and extra capacity ball bearings. The planer has a maximum cutting depth of 5/8 inches, a cutting width of 8 inches and a cutting proximity to a vertical wall of 3-1/4 inches.

Bearings are externally greased to extend the unit’s service life. Cutting depth is adjusted using a screw-type, positive-locking depth selector, and the wheels located behind the drum are designed to make it easier to cut through high spots. Precise weight and balance are designed to enhance operator control and machine maneuverability.

In addition to the SP8/GH9HP, General Equipment also offers electric- and pneumatic-powered surface planer models.
