The entire word fussbodenschliefmaschinenverleih means Floor Sanding Machine Rental but the individual words that compose it are: fuss=foot, boden=ground, schlief=fall asleep, maschinen=machine, verleih=rental.
German is an interesting language.
Couple minor translations, boden can mean floor, schlief on sign was schleif, meaning grind or grind, just my thoughts no offense meant. Germans are know to put whole sentences into one word. Born and raised in Germany. Also stationed there while in AF, Ramstein, couple miles from my hometown
