Concrete vibrator 40Vmax 43 mm/1.5m, powered by PDC01 or PDC1200 VR001CZ

Mobility and Efficiency in Concrete Work

A battery-powered concrete vibrator with a 43 mm diameter and 1.5 m length is a device designed for flexibility on the construction site. Instead of cumbersome power cables that often tangle when working in hard-to-reach areas, this model utilizes a wireless power system. This allows installers to move freely around the structure, while the end user receives well-compacted concrete without the risk of damaging insulation due to overloaded cables. The device achieves a rotational speed of 12 000 rpm, enabling effective removal of air bubbles even in dense mixes.

Power System and Compatibility

A key feature of this model is the ability to connect directly to dedicated power backpacks, eliminating the need to carry heavy batteries directly on the machine. The device is compatible with the 36V system, achieved by connecting two 18V LXT batteries (PDC series). In practice, this means it can be powered using the PDC01 or PDC1200 backpack. Such a setup ensures stable voltage throughout the operation, which is crucial during long compaction cycles for foundations or slabs.

• No power cable – full freedom of movement around formwork.
• 36V system – achieved by connecting two 18V Li-Ion batteries.
• Body-only version – the device is sold as a "body" (Z), requiring a suitable power backpack or battery set.

Application and Mounting Ergonomics

The 1.5 m shaft length makes the vibrator suitable for most standard construction tasks, such as filling wall formwork or compacting concrete in columns. The 43 mm diameter allows work in areas with limited space where larger devices would not have access. The lightweight construction and the absence of additional weight at the end of the shaft (batteries are carried on the backpack) significantly reduce operator fatigue during multi-hour work.

The 43 mm working diameter is optimal for narrow formwork and zones with dense reinforcement, where larger heads could not rotate freely. Meanwhile, the 1.5 m length provides sufficient reach for effective compaction of standard concrete layers in foundations and slabs without the need to constantly move the workstation. The stable voltage of the 36V system guarantees maintained performance throughout the work cycle, resulting in uniform material compaction without the risk of air voids.

Please note that this device requires a suitable power source (PDC01 or PDC1200 backpack) and LXT 18V series batteries. The absence of these elements in the set makes it a solution for professionals who already possess infrastructure compatible with the MAKITA 18V/36V system.
