Power / Fuel / Operation Notes
The Flextool FT201807 is a petrol-powered concrete vibrator with a Honda GX35 engine, so it does not rely on a standard power outlet during use. This makes it practical for outdoor pours and job sites where power access is limited.
Fuel requirements should be confirmed before booking. Fuelled hire items should be returned full where applicable.
Transport & Delivery Notes
This is a portable unit with an operating weight of around 11.5 kg, making it easier to transport than larger concreting equipment. Customers can collect from Flourish Hire, or delivery and collection may be available within the service area.
For delivery, share your site location, access details and preferred hire dates so we can confirm whether delivery is suitable for your booking.
Safety & Practical Notes
- Use only with freshly placed concrete
- Keep hands, clothing and loose items clear of moving and vibrating parts
- Avoid sharp bends or damage to the flexshaft
- Do not leave the vibrating head running outside concrete for extended periods
- Petrol equipment should be used with suitable ventilation
- Wear suitable PPE for wet concrete, noise, vibration and petrol equipment
- Clean off concrete residue before returning the unit
- Follow the supplied handover instructions and manual guidance
Get Better Consolidation In Fresh Concrete
Concrete can look level on the surface while still holding trapped air inside the pour. A portable concrete vibrator helps wet concrete settle into corners, around reinforcement and against formwork when used correctly.
The Flextool FT201807 is a practical choice for smaller slabs, footings, paths, stairs and formed sections where a full-size vibration setup is not needed. Because it is petrol-powered and portable, it is useful for outdoor jobs where moving around the pour matters and running extension leads is not ideal.
Choose this product when the job involves fresh concrete that needs vibration during placement. For mixing concrete before the pour, a concrete mixer may also be needed. For finishing larger flatwork after placement, a power trowel may be more suitable once the concrete reaches the correct stage.
Short Hire Notes
Minimum hire is 24 hours. Same rates apply every day, including weekends and public holidays. Pickup is available during opening hours, and delivery/collection may be available within 50 km where suitable. A bond applies per item, and the unit should be returned clean and in good condition after use.
FAQ Section
What is the Flextool FT201807 concrete vibrator used for?
It is used to help consolidate freshly placed concrete. It helps wet concrete settle into formwork, around reinforcement and into tighter sections where trapped air may be a concern.
Is this concrete vibrator petrol or electric?
This model is petrol-powered and uses a Honda GX35 engine. It is useful for outdoor concreting jobs where mains power is not close to the work area.
What size is the vibrator head?
The Flextool FT201807 uses a 44 mm vibrator head. This makes it suitable for many small to medium concreting tasks, including footings, footpaths, stairways and slabs.
Can I use this for DIY concrete work?
Capable DIY users and owner-builders may hire it if they are comfortable using petrol equipment safely. If you are unsure whether it suits your job, share your pour type, size and site access details before booking.
Is this suitable for slabs and footings?
Yes, it is suited to fresh concrete slabs, footings, paths, stairways and similar formed concrete work. It should be used during placement while the concrete is still workable.
Can I use it on hardened concrete?
No. This is not a demolition, cutting or grinding tool. It is designed for vibrating freshly placed wet concrete only.
Can Flourish Hire deliver this concrete vibrator?
Delivery and collection may be available within the service area, depending on your location, access and booking details. Share your site address and hire dates so delivery options can be checked.
What should I prepare before hiring?
Have your pour timing, site access, transport plan and concrete placement area organised before hire. It is also helpful to know whether you are working on a slab, footing, pathway, stairs or formed section.
How clean does it need to be returned?
Please return the unit reasonably clean and free from heavy concrete residue. Concrete left to harden on equipment can create damage and inspection issues.
Should I hire this with other concrete equipment?
That depends on the job. A concrete mixer may help if you are mixing on site. A power trowel may be useful for finishing larger slabs. A soft cut saw may be needed later for control cuts, depending on your slab plan.
