National 71 Powered Carpet Puller

The National 71 Powered Carpet Puller is a heavy-duty commercial carpet removal machine designed to make direct-glue-down carpet removal faster, easier, and more efficient. Built for one-person operation, the National 71 automatically locks into existing glued-down carpet and pulls it from the floor surface with steady powered force.

This machine is a strong choice for flooring contractors, demolition crews, restoration companies, rental fleets, and facility maintenance teams that regularly remove glued-down commercial carpet. It is especially useful on large carpet removal jobs where manual pulling would be slow, labor-intensive, and physically demanding.

Built for Direct-Glue-Down Carpet Removal

The National 71 is designed specifically for removing direct-glued carpet from a wide range of floor surfaces. Once attached to the carpet, the machine uses powered pulling force to lift and remove the material, helping crews reduce manual labor and improve jobsite productivity.

This makes it a practical machine for commercial carpet tear-outs in offices, schools, hospitals, retail spaces, apartment buildings, hotels, government facilities, and other large interior projects.

One-Person Operation

One of the biggest advantages of the National 71 Powered Carpet Puller is its ability to support one-person operation. Instead of relying on multiple workers to manually pull carpet across the floor, one operator can set up the puller, attach it to the carpet, and let the machine do the heavy pulling work.

This can help reduce labor requirements, improve efficiency, and make carpet removal more manageable on large jobs.

Automatically Locks Into Carpet

The National 71 is designed to automatically lock into existing direct-glued carpet. This helps the machine maintain a strong grip during pulling and reduces the need for constant repositioning or manual effort.

A secure connection is important when removing glued-down carpet because the bond between the carpet and floor can create significant resistance. The machine’s gripping and pulling system is built to handle that resistance in day-to-day commercial use.

Quieter Alternative to Scraping

For certain carpet removal jobs, the National 71 can be a quieter alternative to using a floor scraper machine. Instead of scraping and breaking material loose with a blade, the puller uses controlled pulling force to separate carpet from the floor.

This can be useful in commercial environments where noise reduction matters, especially in occupied buildings, phased renovations, or facilities where disruption needs to be minimized.

Designed for Commercial Use

The National 71 is built to withstand the abuse of regular commercial carpet removal work. Its heavy-duty construction, strong pull bars, gripper teeth, and jobsite-focused design make it a practical tool for contractors who need dependable performance across repeated projects.

The machine is also straightforward to use, with fast setup and quick re-hooking features that help keep the removal process moving.

Safer Pulling System

The National 71 uses a high-polymer, low-stretch cord instead of a steel cable. This design supports safer winch-style pulling while still delivering the force needed for glued-down carpet removal.

The machine’s pull bars and shark-toothed base gripper teeth help create strong holding power on flat carpet, giving the operator better control during the pulling process.

Fast Setup and Re-Hooking

The National 71 is designed to set up quickly, allowing crews to begin pulling carpet in seconds once the material is prepared. A quick shaft disengagement feature helps make re-hooking faster, which is especially valuable when working across large rooms or multiple carpet sections.

This helps reduce downtime and keeps the job moving from one pull to the next.
