Why Choose the Multiquip Walk-Behind Power Trowel
The 36” of blade diameter gives the J36H55 trowel a great balance of coverage and maneuverability for mid-range slabs. It’s also gas-run, so it’s portable power without the need for electrical hookups.
Operators will also appreciate the adjustable blade speed/pitch, which lets them fine-tune finish quality as the concrete sets. While Runyon offers rental services for trowels, this model is a lower general cost and a good investment for would-be owners who would use it regularly.
If you’re looking for a more compact power trowel that will save you time and offer consistent, smooth surface quality, look no further.
FAQs
What size area can the J36H55 finish?
A 36″ walk-behind trowel like the J36H55 typically finishes about 1,000–3,000 sq ft per hour on medium-sized slabs. That, of course, depends on the operator and environmental conditions.
What blades are compatible with this trowel?
It accepts a range of 36″ blades, including combo blades, finish blades, float blades, reverse combo, and quick-change systems. It also allows for poly and pan float options designed for different stages of concrete finishing.
Is the J36H55 suitable for polishing concrete?
While designed to finish fresh concrete, a power trowel can be adapted for basic polishing or burnishing of surfaces with appropriate polishing pads. However, it’s not a guaranteed substitute for dedicated concrete grinders when more heavy-duty tasks are required.
