Chicago Pneumatic Launches Screeds
?With our expanded concrete range, we can now provide users with a wider offering to suit their needs at every stage of the concreting process. The new screeds ensure optimised levelling performance for all concrete types and help to cut down time on smoothing and finishing,.? says Edmerlito Gonzalez, spokesperson for Concrete Equipment at Chicago Pneumatic.?
For smaller screeding requirements, Chicago Pneumatic has updated its popular LBG 800 walk-behind screed, making it easier for operators to create a consistent, high-quality concrete finish without a guide or supporting tube. The new LBG 804 screed features a larger vibrator eccentric unit that delivers high vibration power, and includes a rubber and Velcro protection ring to avoid concrete penetration. As a result, both hand/arm vibrations (HAV) and noise levels are reduced, allowing up to 6 hours of continuous operation. Meanwhile, the solid frame design features a rugged steel coupling to provide added strength, and aluminium components that reduce weight for easy handling and manoeuvrability. An ergonomic handle that can extend up to 4.5m allowing the users to smooth the concrete from outside the slab, reducing the time it takes to smooth the surface as no footprints are left behind.
