Meet the Multiquip Whiteman InstaClutch Walk-Behind Trowel

The InstaClutch walk-behind trowel is engineered for contractors who demand high-performance finishing without sacrificing job-site safety or productivity. Featuring a 36-inch guard ring and a robust Honda GX160 engine, this powerhouse spins from 60 to 115 RPM, giving crews the speed range needed for everything from initial floating to final burnishing. Whether you run large paving crews or small flatwork teams, the InstaClutch walk-behind trowel transforms any slab into a showroom-smooth surface while shielding operators with advanced clutch technology that stops the rotor within a quarter turn if the handle is released.

Safety-First, Productivity-Always Design

Multiquip Whiteman’s patented friction clutch is the star of the show. On traditional trowels, crews must throttle down during brief pauses, wasting time and risking cold joints. The InstaClutch system eliminates that downtime: release the handle, the blades halt almost instantly, and you’re ready to restart at full speed the moment you re-engage. This not only protects workers but also extends engine life by reducing unnecessary idling. In busy commercial pours, where every minute counts, the InstaClutch walk-behind trowel keeps the finishing sequence moving without the stop-start fatigue found on older concrete trowel models.

Built for Rugged, Everyday Use

  • Oversize Gearbox – High-capacity oil bath and precision-cut gears ensure years of trouble-free service, even under the punishing loads of daily finishing with a heavy concrete finishing machine.
  • Front Service Panel – Quick access to trowel arms and blades reduces maintenance downtime and simplifies blade swaps between float pans and finish sets.
  • Center Lift Bail – Safely hoist the InstaClutch walk-behind trowel onto decks or into trucks without dismantling handles or risking frame damage.
  • QuickPitch or Standard Handles – Choose rapid one-pull pitch adjustments or the classic knob style—both isolate vibrations to reduce operator fatigue across long pours.

Performance That Pays Off

  • 4-Blade Rotor delivers broad coverage and uniform pressure, traits crews need in high-production flatwork.
  • Sturdy Spider & Thrust Collar design cuts daily greasing time common with lower-quality trowels.
  • Powder-Coated Guard Ring resists corrosion in wet, cement-rich environments, extending the working life of your investment.

Why Upgrade to the InstaClutch?

  1. Boost Safety – Instant blade stoppage protects operators and surrounding trades.
  2. Increase Output – No more throttling down; maintain blade speed and finish more square footage per hour.
  3. Reduce Ownership Costs – Fewer maintenance points and Honda reliability keep this concrete finishing machine on the slab, not in the shop.

From parking decks to warehouse floors, the InstaClutch walk-behind trowel is the professional’s choice for a flawless, mirror-like finish. Add it to your fleet and watch productivity climb as your crew delivers consistent, high-gloss results with one of the most advanced concrete trowel designs on the market.
