Core Power: The Honda GX160 Advantage
This drive unit is equipped with the renowned 5.5 HP Honda GX160 4-stroke engine, ensuring reliable and consistent motive power for all your concrete compaction needs. Operating at a steady engine speed of 2800 rpm, the petrol engine delivers the necessary drive to the flexible shaft, translating fuel efficiency into effective worksite performance. The choice of the Honda GX160 is a commitment to longevity and easy starting, allowing your crew to get straight to work with minimal downtime.
Site-Ready Mobility and Protection
The unit's essential components are secured within a heavy gauge steel frame, providing superior protection against the rigours of a construction site. This robust chassis is not merely a casing; it is designed to enhance on-site mobility. Despite its powerful capabilities, it is easy for one person to move, position, and transport around the work area as compaction duties shift.
Universal Concrete Compaction
The Altrad Belle BGA is engineered for maximum versatility. It features standard 'two dog' couplers that are widely recognised across the industry. This design ensures that the power unit can connect seamlessly not only to Altrad Belle pokers but also to a wide range of existing flexible shaft concrete pokers from manufacturers such as Errut, Dynapac, Benford, and Wacker. This broad compatibility allows the unit to integrate easily into diverse equipment fleets.
Effective Vibration Mechanics
The primary function of the drive unit is to supply the motive force that rotates an eccentric weight located at the head of the flexible shaft poker. This rotation generates high-frequency vibration, reaching up to 200 Hz, which is crucial for the effective compaction of freshly poured concrete. This mechanical action works to remove trapped air bubbles, reduce voids, and ensure a dense, high-quality finish for the final concrete structure.
