Wallbrator

 

The Wallbrator from LiteForm Technologies is an ICF wall vibrator that attaches to any 1/2-in. electric or cordless drill. Combining a high speed and low impact vibration, the wallbrator
ensures good consolidation of concrete with one pass. Sizing in at just under 3 lbs. and a
length of 7 in., this tool is lighter weight and more compact than other traditional external
vibrators. The grip design offers installers a comfortable non-slip feel when operating under
any weather condition.

• Will run steel and rubber vibrator heads up to 2 1/2 in.
• Vibrator heads develop 12,000 vpm and never drop below 10,000 vpm
• Standard Quick Disconnect "QD" system, Honda gasoline engines and "speed-up" transmission
• Kill switch conveniently located on the handle

Portable Concrete Vibrators

 

The lightweight, portable concrete vibrators have adjustable frequency for forms, hoppers and bins. These air-piston UH, UHVM and VGVM concrete construction vibrators deliver linear vibration with either impact or air-cushioned pistons for reduced noise levels. The UH and UHVM are available in 1 1/4- or 2-in. diameter piston versions. Both have adjustable high frequency vibration and are equipped with identical alloy steel stud mounting heads allowing the products to be used interchangeably. The VGVM's frequency and amplitude are controlled by adjusting the air supply.

Rubber Heads for Concrete Vibrators

 

A rubber head is now available for Stone Construction's concrete vibrator line. It is a heavy-duty urethane rubber-coated 1 7/8-in. head specially designed for epoxy-coated rebar applications. The rubber head will not damage the coating on rebar and other forms. The perforated design of the coating provides better vibration and consolidation and cools the oil bath inside the head. With the addition of the rubber head, Stone now offers eight vibrator heads and 11 flexshafts.
