We're currently developing a wheel kit modification for the Low Boy, so that it can be run with the wheels down - similar too an Orbot. We have built a successful prototype of the swing arms and wheel assembly and it works really well. We're now looking to find a good machinist that can build them for us.
We've also configured adding a shampoo tank to the Low Boy. We've tested it, and it works well. The only drawback is that the Low Boy has a free floating handle, so you have to lean the handle against your hip while you're running the machine - with the weight of the water in the tank. That may seem like a pain - but it works OK. We've tested the set up running the Low Boy with a tank of water and it's not hard to work with.
So those are two modifications that we will be offering for the Low Boys in the next couple of months. For now the stock Low Boy unit is spot on perfect as a basic OP machine (comparable to the Challenger). But maybe I shouldn't refer to it as a "basic OP machine", because it really does a nice job and can stand its ground against other OP machines that we've worked with.
The Low Boy along with a Penguin Sprayer makes for a nice basic set up. There I go using that word "basic" again. The Penguin will run several hours on a charge. And its coiled spray hose will cover a pretty big area (like a large room) without having to move the sprayer. Together with the Low Boy it makes for an efficient cost-effective OP system.
