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.
