A power trowel is a modern construction tool used to level and smooth concrete floors. It is especially used to smooth and polish the surface after large-scale concrete pouring. Typically, a power trowel has a rotating blade or fan attached to the bottom that rotates at high speed and applies pressure to the concrete to ensure smoothness.
This tool can be of two types – hand-held (walk-behind) and ride-on. The hand-held model is used for small and medium projects, while the ride-on model is more effective on large construction sites. Using a power trowel reduces labor costs, improves work quality, and saves time.
This tool usually has a petrol or diesel engine, although some modern models are also use electric motors. The power trowel has now become an integral tool in the construction sector, especially in floor finishing. It removes cracks, holes, or irregularities from the floor, creating a long-lasting and durable surface.
