A floor saw is mainly used to cut horizontal flat surfaces such as bridge decks, pavement, and floors. The floors may be of concrete and asphalt. These are compact, robust, and highly maneuverable machines designed for both wet and dry cutting of concrete and asphalt. Floor saws may also be known as slab saws. A diamond blade is mainly used in the floor saw. This diamond blade is mounted on a floor saw and requires only one operator. The saw blades used on floor saws are used to cut asphalt, concrete, and stone. Abrasive cut-off wheels can also be used on floor saws to cut steel. While cutting the hard substances like concrete, the floor saws generate friction and dust. To reduce this dust and friction, the blades need to be cooled to prolong the life of machine. According to the Concrete Society of UK, floor saws are powered by a diesel engine, petrol engine, or electric motor. These floor saws are guided by the operator and are used mostly on roads to cut concrete pavements and asphalt quickly. These are mostly used to remove damaged pavement, remove concrete sections, provide expansion joints, and for demolition purposes. These saws find applications in roads, runways, and ground floors. Cutting depth of 550 mm can be achieved using floor saws. Higher depths can be achieved depending on the blade and guard size. A floor saw FS 7000 DL, a product of Husqvarna AB Company has maximum cutting depth of 623mm.
Developments in the construction industry especially in road construction drives the growth of the global floor saws market. According to the Organization of Global Road Map, based in Queens land, Australia, at least 25 million kilometers of new roads are expected globally by 2050; this will create a demand for floor saws during the forecast period. Along with this, as per the statistics of Global Construction Report 2030, the global construction market is expected to grow to $8 trillion by 2030, thus propelling the growth of the global floor saws market during the forecast period. The dust produced while cutting the concrete floor contains very fine respirable crystalline silica (RCS) particles such as quartz, cristobalite, and tridymite. These particles can cause serious health effects, such as lung cancer or silicosis to the operator. This factor is anticipated to restrain the market growth. The floor saws require fuels like diesel and petrol for its operation. The varying prices of these fuels globally may challenge the market during the forecast period.
The global floor saw market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. By type, the market is divided into petrol floor saw, diesel floor saw, electric floor saw, and others. By application, the market is classified into construction sites, highways, and others. By region, the market is studied across North- America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Region wise North America and Asia-Pacific dominates the segment due to growing infrastructure industry in these regions. Infrastructure industry in India in 2018 received investments worth $1.97 billion. India’s National Investment & Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) will receive invest of $200 million. This investment will be made by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has announced the above investment in June 2018. These heavy investments in Infrastructure will drive the market during the forecast period.
The leading players in the global floor saws market are Fairport Construction Equipment Ltd., Husqvarna AB (publ), Norton Clipper, Tyrolit, Diamond Products, Chicago Pneumatic, LISSMAC Maschinenbau GmbH, Altrad Belle, SIMA, SA, and GÖLZ GmbH. Products offered by Tyrolit are Floor saw FSG513, Floor saw FSG620, and Floor Saw FSD1049 3-Speeds.
