  Low floor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The low floor may extend over the complete length of the vehicle, or some parts may be higher with ramps or steps inside the passenger compartment to allow for under-floor components.
In buses and trolleybuses, low floors can be complemented by a hydraulic 'kneeling device', which can be used when the bus is not in motion, tilting it to one side and thus lowering it even further towards the surface level of the road, often low enough to match the height of a normal Curb.
The Orion VII is a low floor model, built for use with diesel, and alternative fuels, hybrid, and CNG (shown).

 Oreck Commercial Products: Oreck Low Boy Floor Machine
When used as a floor sanding machine, the Low Boy produces such a smooth finish that it actually eliminates steps with the drum/belt sander, rotary finisher and edger.
Because this floor machine has no torque it is very easy to use, even by those who have never operated one before.
Chemical usage is reduced by as much as 50% since it does not throw the chemicals out away from the machine, rather it draws the cleaning solution under the pad where it is needed.

 Advantages of NABI's stepped low-floor design
The floor in NABI's low-floor transit bus is a flat, level plane at a nominal height of 15" above ground, from the front wall of the vestibule to the rear post of the exit door (except for wheelhousings and driver's platform).
Aft of the exit door, the floor steps upward vertically to a height of approximately 32" above ground.
This is because the raised floor behind the rear door results in wheelhousings no greater in height above floor than those typically utilized in a standard-floor bus.

 Federal Transit Administration - Reference Guides Section   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Early models had only a partial section of low-floor access (with a sloped floor or steps to access the rear of the vehicle).
With low floor buses, one concern is the ability to move the bus close enough to the raised station platform to permit level boarding without damaging the vehicle's tires or structure.
BRT vehicle design should permit procurement of alternative vehicle sizes and internal seating configurations to match transit supply parameters (i.e., frequency of service or headway, and vehicle size) to current and projected demands for service.
