Help! Any way to cover concrete without emptying room?

[doctordoctor]

I have an enclosed patio (called a "sunroom" in California).

Its got a concrete floor.

It had outdoor carpeting on it which I tore out.

Underneath was some kind of yellow adhesive. Its not sticky, just hard and powdery.

Ive been using this room as a machine shop.

There is alot of heavy machinery, benches, and tools in it.

The concrete and old adhesive form dust and make cleaning a pain. Looks bad too.

I would like to cover or seal the concrete, but I really do not want to move all the equipment out of the room. Its an extremely difficult task because the opening to the room is very small and has a big step, plus a sliding glass door threshold, so getting heavy equipment in and out is a nightmare.

Im hoping there is a clever way I can get the job done by either moving equipment around in the room and doing one section of floor at a time, or perhaps lifting the equipment up and placing it on something very small like a nut, so that the sealant or whatever can get 99% of the surface area of the floor and I can touch up later.

Or, perhaps I can lay down vinyl tiles one at a time, or sections of sheet vinyl?

I'd like the floor to be bump-free and water tight but it doesnt need to be any flatter than it is, which is not very flat.

Any advice greatly appreciated!!

You can simply prime the floor and then seal it with the appropriate concrete products. Call a local building supplies or concrete company for advice, not HD and the sheds.eg Sealcrete, Satins, or Bullseye sealers and primers.

Or, you could clear all movable items - prime the floor to take up the dust, and lay a loose laid sheet of vinyl. Stick down the edges only after a couple of weeks of allowing it to settle.
Use a cheap marbelised "pattern" vinyl - dont use a geometric pattern.
