Flex Shaft Concrete Vibrators

UL Concrete VibratorFlexible shaft concrete vibrators are designed for all general construction. Typical applications include footings and stem walls, small slabs, driveways, and stairways.  They are very portable and convenient to use.

Quick Release for Flexible shaft applications: Simple, effective and easy to use, the quick release package includes single-pin locking nose on the motor and an adapter for the flexible shaft housing. It allows quick removal of the core and housing assembly for storage or a change to a different shaft length or head size. The quick release system can easily be retrofitted to Denver Concrete Vibrator flexible shaft units that use the traditional threaded style connection. The Quick Release option package includes a new motor end, and one shaft adapter. Additional shaft adapters are available.

Backpack for flexible shaft concrete vibrators: This comfortable cushioned fiberglass frame moves the flexible shaft motor out of a man's hand and on to his back. It also serves to help keep equipment cleaner, and off the ground.

Insulated heads for epoxy coated rebar applications:  Available for jobs that require a cushioned head to protect the epoxy rebar, we offer 2.25", 2.5" and 3.0" diameter insulated heads for our flexible shaft vibrators.
