A Concrete helicopter, also known as a trowelling machine, power float, or power trowel, is a lightweight construction machine commonly used by workers on construction sites in Australia to achieve a flat and smooth finish on concrete surfaces such as slabs. It is a construction equipment that aids in leveling concrete surfaces, saving time and delivering a flawless result. The concrete helicopter is particularly useful for finishing concrete slabs on large areas.
The equipment consists of a metal disc with attached blades that assist in the concrete finishing process. The disc rotates at high speeds, enabling quick completion of the concrete surface. Concrete helicopters are widely employed in various construction projects, including highways, bridges, and buildings. They can replace multiple hand tools such as concrete floats, Darbies, hand floats, and hand trowels. By utilizing a helicopter, you can achieve a perfectly smooth surface that is ideal for tiling or applying a waxed concrete varnish finish. It is also suitable for finishing decorative concrete floors, including waxed, colored, quartz, and smoothed concrete floors.
