Looks like a vacuum polisher. I can’t tell what brand. Possibly a Columbus? These seem prevalent in Europe, and Australia. Someone posted a pic a while back | ||

If the floor tiles aren't craked,broken or shedding asbestos dust it would be fine.Most asbestos tiles have been taken up intact.If you were sawing,sanding them and such then its a hazard.Intact-no. | ||
