Makita has added four new cordless vibrating concrete pokers to its line-up - the VR001C, VR002C, VR003C and VR004C models enable effective levelling and aeriation of concrete over wide areas.
Offering long run times and 12,000 vibrations per minute, the new units are driven by a 36V motor housed in a lightweight body. Makita has developed each model with the motor located in the vibrator head, the aim being to reduce power loss while reducing HAVs.
Concreting professionals are bound to find a machine to suit their requirements - the VR001C features a 1.5m poker 43mm in diameter; the VR002C features a 3m poker 43mm in diameter; the VR003C offers a 1.5m poker 52mm in diameter, and the VR004C has a 3m poker 52mm in diameter.
The new products join Makita’s ‘Direct Connection’ range, which utilises backpack power as an enhanced runtime and power solution. Each model is powered by ‘Direct Connection’ to either the PDC1200 portable power backpack with built-in 36V (33.5Ah) battery, or the PDC01 portable power backpack, which uses up to four 18V LXT batteries.
When operated with the PDC1200 portable power supply, the VR001C and VR002C provide up to 300 minutes of runtime on a single charge, while the VR003C and VR004C provide up to 200 minutes of runtime on a single charge.
