Abstract

An apparatus including a plurality of liquid extraction devices (114) positioned radially on a floor-facing surface of a rotary head (300), a driveshaft disposed between a rotary motor (104) configured to rotate the rotary head, and a housing (102) disposed between the rotary motor and the rotary head for supporting a wheel (110) and a handle (112). The apparatus also includes an evacuation tank (108) having a capacity sensor in communication with an evacuation pump (109), the capacity sensor configured to detect when a maximum desired capacity of evacuated liquids is reached, a vacuum motor (106) connected with the housing and configured to provide a suction force to the liquid extraction devices to extract liquid from a floor to the evacuation tank, and wherein a weight of the rotary motor, housing, handle, wheel, and vacuum motor is supported by the liquid extraction devices.
