Walk-Behind Trowels For Sale

About Walk-Behind Trowels

Along with ride-on power trowels, walk-behind power trowels are key equipment used in paving operations alongside and in place of manual handheld trowels. As handheld and ride-on trowels also do, walk-behind trowels use rotors equipped with blades to help create a smoother but denser, harder surface.

Wacker Neuson CT36 Walk-Behind Trowel

Unlike a single-blade hand trowel that a concrete worker manually pushes and drags across the surface, however, operators steer walk-on models across the surface from behind using handles. These machines allow paving companies to cover more square feet more quickly, saving time and money.

Walk-Behind Trowel Features

A walk-behind trowel can be a fitting option for both small and large jobs, depending on the type of spaces in question. Some interior flooring and basement foundations, for example, may span a large distance but include various tight corners or passageways that a ride-on model would have difficulty fitting into and maneuvering, making a walk-behind model a better choice.

Walk-behind models generally cover an area ranging from less than 24 inches to more than 48 inches at once via a four-bladed rotor. Operators may use the machines for general finishing purposes but also when higher torque or a wide range of variable speeds is required. The machines can potentially weigh several hundred pounds and measure more than 80 inches long. Features can variously include operator fatigue-reducing ergonomic designs, multi-pitch blade control, special edging abilities, forklift sockets and hooks for lifting onto jobsites, and lifting bars to make changing blades easier.
