Ride on Trowel / ROT / Ride on Floater

What Is a Ride-On Power Trowel? A ride-on power trowel has two counter-rotating rotors, typically with four or five blades on each rotor. The operator sits in a chair situated between these two rotors and uses two steering levers, one on each side of the chair, to move the machine.Floating embeds coarse aggregate, removes humps and valleys and compacts the concrete surface. The concrete surface must be sufficiently hard and free of bleed water before power floating begins. Troweling is done after floating to produce a dense, smooth, hard surface.
