4� AND 8� CONCRETE VIBRATORS PROVIDE Lightweight TRADE SOLUTIONS
ACE TOOL congratulates Makita U.S.A. on the release of their new 18V LXT Lithium-ion 4� Cordless Concrete Vibrator model BVR450 and BVR450Z and 8� Cordless Concrete Vibrator model BVR850 and BVR850Z which add to the already extensive LXT Series of 24 models. The new Makita � 18V LXT Extreme Lithium-Ion Technology is a breakthrough in cordless technology with more power, less weight and better engineering utilizing LXT Lithium-ion battery technology.
Makita is no stranger to Cordless Concrete Vibrators with the first model introduced in 1999. The new 4� LXT models are ideal for applications where the professional residential and commercial contractor needs cordless portability, such as, footers, slabs, walls, repairs and insulated concrete forms. The 8� LXT models will handle the similar applications as the 4� models with even more versatility, such as, on an 8� retaining wall.
Along with the Makita-built motor producing an efficient 13,000 VPM (4� flexible shaft) and 12,500 VPM (8� flexible shaft) the 1� vibrator head helps increase the strength of concrete. For less operator fatigue, the 4� models weigh only 8.2 lbs. and the 8� models weigh 11.7 lbs. In addition, there is an ergonomic two-directional switch that adds more comfort when holding the Concrete Vibrators in vertical or horizontal positions. There is also a protective battery cover that protects the LXT battery from the debris and concrete found on the jobsite. With the Makita best-in-class engineering, LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah battery and 45-minute Optimum Charging System the LXT Concrete Vibrators have a run time of up to 25 minutes on a single charge.
Models BVR540 and BVR850 are kits that include (2) two LXT Lithium-Ion (3.0Ah) batteries, 45-minute Optimum charger and-duty case while models BVR450Z and BVR850Z are tools only.
