Trowels For Sale

About Trowels

In concrete and other paving applications, troweling occurs in the finishing stages to help make the concrete or other surface in question smoother, harder, and more compact. Although you’ll find concrete and paving workers commonly using single-blade handheld trowels in residential and commercial project such as laying sidewalks and driveways to help create a smooth but dense surface, for larger projects that cover a greater area, bigger motor-driven power trowels using multiple blades at once are often the preferred choice.

Husqvarna CRT 48 DF Ride-On Trowel

Machine trowels include walk-behind and ride-on models, each which can serve a specific purpose and each which has its own defining traits. Some leading manufacturers of walk-behind and ride-on trowels for sale include Allen Engineering, Dynapac, Husqvarna, Multiquip, and Wacker Neuson.

Types Of Trowels

As their names suggest, a walk-behind power trowel requires an operator walking behind the machine to direct its operation. A ride-on power trowel, meanwhile, finds the operator in a seated position atop the machine, steering it across the surface to be finished. Both types can provide considerable advantages in terms of efficiency, productivity, and time-savings as compared to using hand trowels to flatten and smooth large slabs of concrete spanning several thousand square feet.

Power trowels can range in area of effect from less than 24 inches across to a path width of more than 60 inches; walk-behind trowels are usually single-rotor machines, while ride-on models generally incorporate two dual multi-blade rotors. Choosing between walk-behind and ride-on trowels generally hinges on the size of the surface to be finished and whether it requires the operator to maneuver the trowel into and around tight spaces.

Trowel Features

In addition to electronic fuel-injected and air-cooled gas, diesel, and electric engines ranging from 5 to more than 75 horsepower, features of walk-behind and ride-on trowels can variously include hydraulic and intelligent-drive systems, variable speed rotors, digital fuel and diagnostic gauges and displays, working lights, detachable access panels for easier maintenance, electric single- and dual-blade pitch controls, dedicated panning and finishing modes, and special edging functionality, as well as electronic, powering, and manual steering.
