Vibrating Screeds and Power Trowels for Concrete
43 products · Mixing and Laying
Vibrating screeds and power trowels are used to spread, compact and finish fresh concrete: the former work the surface with vibrating screed beams and plates, the latter with rotating propeller-type blades that close and smooth the pour. They are machines used for industrial floors, car parks, yards and screeds. The collection includes brands such as Breaker, Barikell, Raimondi, Milwaukee, Unimec, DeWalt, Maltech and Sea Technology.
What you will find in the collection
- Power trowels: petrol-engine or battery-powered models, with disc diameters in various sizes.
- Vibrating screeds: for levelling the pour, also battery-powered and for tile laying.
- Building floor smoothers: machines for finishing concrete surfaces.
- Accessories: blades, discs, finishing floats, rakes and adapters.
How to choose
The choice depends on the surface to be treated and the setting time: for large floors you need machines with larger-diameter discs, for small areas and work close to walls more compact models. Also consider the power source, petrol or battery, and check that blades and discs are compatible with the machine.

Frequently asked questions: Vibrating Screeds and Power Trowels for Concrete
What are vibrating screeds and power trowels used for?
They finish fresh concrete after pouring, spreading, compacting and smoothing the surface. Vibrating screeds use straightedges and plates to level, while power trowels with rotating blades close and smooth the pour. They are used on industrial floors, car parks, yards and screeds, where surface flatness matters greatly.
How do I choose between an engine-driven and a battery power trowel?
The engine-driven power trowel offers power and autonomy for large surfaces and long jobs. The battery model is more practical where there is no easy power or charging point, and it is quieter. Choose based on the surface to be trowelled, the number of working hours and the availability of charging or fuel on site.
Which disc diameter and blades should I choose for the power trowel?
The disc diameter determines how much surface is covered with each pass, while the blades are chosen based on the stage of work. Roughing blades are used for the first closing of the pour, finishing blades for the final smoothing, and combination blades offer a compromise. The collection includes Teflon, golden, combi and Barikell finish blades, as well as Breaker blade sets.
Which screed should I choose for narrow or wide surfaces?
Extendable screeds, such as the KX models in the collection, are suited to long, narrow surfaces or areas where a distant edge must be reached. Double screeds, such as the KD, cover larger surfaces in a single pass. Check the working length and height adjustment before buying, as they affect comfort and precision.
Which vibrator is needed for fresh concrete?
A battery-powered concrete vibrator compacts the pour and removes air bubbles, so the concrete settles better. It must be immersed in the pour at regular intervals and withdrawn slowly. Use a shaft of suitable length for the pour thickness and do not rest the vibrator on the reinforcement, to avoid damaging the structure.
Which standards and risks should be assessed on pouring sites?
Work with fresh concrete involves risks from vibration, noise and contact with alkaline material, which can irritate the skin. D.Lgs. 81/2008 applies, with risk assessment and suitable PPE. Wear alkali-resistant gloves, boots and safety glasses. Machines must carry CE marking and staff must know the operating instructions.
How do I clean a power trowel after pouring?
Remove the concrete from the blades and disc as soon as possible, before it hardens, using water and a brush. Check that the blades are intact and replace worn ones, since a damaged blade leaves marks on the surface. Let the machine dry before storing it and protect the mechanical parts from damp.
