Unlike some other competitor walk behind screeds, the WS500H is powered by a 4-Stroke Honda GX35 petrol engine. It does not feature an extended drive shaft system which is not only prone to wear, but also susceptible to damage in transit and on-site.
Some competitor models favour bolts to attach beams/blades to their screeds. Associated hardware threads often become compromised through contact with wet concrete, making assembly, dismantling and interchanging beam lengths more time consuming and problematic. The clamping system favoured by the ScreeDemon™ eradicates this and furthermore means that beams are free from holes and/or cut-outs which also weaken their structure. It also enables beams to be mounted offset to the drive unit, thereby making it easier to navigate around obstacles and under protrusions.
The ScreeDemon™ is designed to assemble and disassemble in seconds.
The WS500H features a sealed exciter with oversized bearings which requires no maintenance. Its’ walk-in design allows easy access to lifting points, whilst its cast aluminium frame is not only strong, but greatly lowers its operating weight, increasing its portability to and around site. Its main handle can be folded for easy transportation and storage too.
The ScreeDemon™ also features a patented mount retention method which enables use of low durometer isolators without loss of operator control, whilst significantly lowering operator exposed vibration levels.
