Aiko PT36 Power Trowel (Helicopter) with Diesel L173F Engine

Professional-Grade Concrete Finishing for Large-Scale Industrial and Commercial Flooring.

Achieving a perfectly level, high-density finish on large concrete slabs requires consistent power and precision. The Aiko PT36 Power Trowel, often referred to as a “Helicopter,” is a heavy-duty walk-behind finisher engineered for the most demanding construction environments. Powered by the reliable Diesel L173F engine, this machine delivers the high torque and sustained RPM necessary to pull moisture to the surface and seal the concrete for a professional, mirror-smooth finish. Designed for durability and ease of use, the PT36 is the go-to solution for contractors working on warehouse floors, parking garages, and industrial foundations.

The PT36 features a robust 91 cm (36-inch) rotor diameter, allowing for rapid coverage of large surface areas while maintaining exceptional maneuverability around corners and obstructions. The heavy-duty finish blades, measuring 35 x 15 cm, are built from high-abrasion-resistant steel to ensure long-term performance even when working with “stiff” or fast-setting concrete mixes. With a balanced weight of approximately 68 kg (150 lbs), this power trowel provides the ideal downward pressure required for effective floating and finishing without sinking or marking the slab. The integrated pitch control allows operators to adjust blade angles on the fly, ensuring a perfect finish regardless of the concrete’s curing stage.

Durability is at the heart of the Aiko PT36 design. The reinforced guard ring provides maximum safety for the operator while allowing for close-to-wall finishing, reducing the need for manual edge work. The Diesel L173F engine offers superior fuel efficiency and lower operating costs compared to petrol alternatives, making it an economical choice for long-duration pours. Built to withstand the abrasive dust and vibrations of the job site, the PT36 is a rugged, low-maintenance workhorse that ensures your flooring projects meet the highest structural and aesthetic standards. Whether you are a professional masonry contractor or a specialized flooring team, the Aiko PT36 delivers the reliability and finish quality your clients demand.
