Walk-Behind Concrete Power Trowels

WHAT IS A WALK-BEHIND POWER TROWEL?

A walk-behind concrete power trowel machine finishes concrete after it has been freshly poured. The process of troweling helps to flatten the slab, removing the hills and valleys, as well as drawing the moisture out of the concrete to help the curing process.

For more information on the troweling process, you can read A Beginners Guide to Troweling Concrete Part 1 & Part 2 – All About the Finish.

Walk-behind concrete power trowels are required on most concrete slabs depending on the size. If you have never used an electric power trowel machine before, check out our guide that goes over the basics of operation and best practices.

COMMERCIAL VS PRO TROWELS - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

Bartell manufactures 2 types of Power Trowels – Commercial and Pro Series. These series both come in a 36″ or 46″ option and accomplish the same task for the contractor. There are a few differences between the Commercial and Pro Series:

• Chrome Ring vs. Painted Ring
• Rider gearbox vs. Walk Behind gearbox
• Spider Assembly Manufacturing Process
• 3 yr. vs 1 yr. warranty

The design and technology in these handheld Power Trowel Series are the same. Both series have a very high build quality. The Commercial Series is comparable to any other standard power trowel in the market, while the Pro Series is the only Walk-Behind Concrete Power Trowel on the market that has a Ride-On Trowel gearbox for increased performance and dependability.
