A power trowel (also known as a "power float") is a piece of light construction equipment used by construction companies and contractors to apply a smooth finish to concrete slabs. [1]
Types
Power trowels differ in the way they are controlled:
Ride-on power trowels are used by an operator sitting on a seat upon the machinery, controlling the power trowel with the necessary buttons. [2]
Walk-behind power trowels are used by an operator walking behind the machine. [3][4]
A hand tool for the same task is called a
concrete float . [5]
