Multiquip Whiteman Heavy-Duty Walk-Behind Trowels – Built for the Hardest Slabs
Contractors who finish thousands of square feet a week know that ordinary trowels can’t survive punishing commercial schedules. The heavy-duty walk-behind trowel line from Multiquip Whiteman closes that gap with a gearbox, spider, and CVT drive engineered for maximum torque, top rotor speeds of 225 RPM, and multi-shift durability. If you need a concrete trowel that powers through sticky early set mixes and still burnishes a mirror sheen at the end of the day, this is the heavy-duty walk-behind trowel series that gets it done.
Industrial-Grade Powertrain
At the heart of every heavy-duty walk-behind trowel is a high-horsepower Honda GX390 engine turning a continuously variable clutch. The CVT transmits full torque at low RPM for floating and ramps smoothly to its 225 RPM top speed for final polishing, no belt changes, no bogging. A massive oil-bath gearbox with oversized bearings keeps the concrete finishing machine running cool, even when crew run back-to-back pours.
Serviceability That Saves Money
Multiquip’s front access panel drops in seconds, exposing the spider arms and blade bolts for lightning-fast blade swaps. Combined with a simplified thrust-collar design, routine service takes minutes, not hours, lowering the total cost of ownership for companies operating multiple trowels across several crews. When downtime hurts profit, a heavy-duty walk-behind trowel that stays on the slab is money in the bank.
Operator-Focused Controls
Choose QuickPitch™ handles for rapid, one-motion blade-angle changes or stick with the traditional knob-style handle for precise micro-adjustment. Both isolate vibration and place throttle, kill switch, and clutch engagement within fingertip reach. A center-mounted lifting bail lets one worker hoist this concrete trowel onto elevated decks, while an optional InstaClutch-compatible version adds instant rotor stoppage for heightened safety on congested jobsites.
