Electric Concrete Pokers

The SMART electric concrete pokers have a radius of action of about 12 times the diameter of the poker, versus 10 times for the high frequency pokers, which the manufacturer claims results in approximately 50% less time needed to vibrate over the same sized area.

• Designated “smart” for their computer-chip-governed electronics
• Three models in the redesigned line — 40, 48 and 56
• Streamlined aluminum housing reduces their overall weight by 30%
• Can be powered by common 120-volt supply
• Three-function control by a single on/off switch
• Vibration head and the box are thermo-protected
• Box is short-circuit protected both phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground
• Smooth starting for a low-voltage peak when using smaller generators
• High centrifugal force, ranging from 360 lbs. in the SMART 40 to over 1,030 lbs. in the SMART 56
• Variable frequency converter is built in, which protects against shock, overload and overheating
• Rapid acceleration to 12,000 vibrations per minute means voids are transported to the surface quickly
• 32.8 feet of cable and 16.4 feet of hose
