Rhin-O-Tuff Power Trowels Announces New Rapid Pitch™ Blade Pitching System

Boise, Idaho (PRWeb) December 26, 2006—Rhin-O-Tuff Power Trowels, manufacturer of walk-behind power trowels for the concrete industry, announces its newest feature—the Rapid Pitch™ blade pitching system. The new Rapid Pitch is weight counter-balanced to make pitching the blades easy and provides infinite blade pitch adjustment using a simple lever mounted on the handle.

"Rapid Pitch takes the hassle out of adjusting blade pitch," says Marvin E. Whiteman Jr., co-designer and co-developer of Rhin-O-Tuff's new line of walk-behind power trowels. "The Rapid Pitch (tm) lever enables the operator to quickly and easily adjust the blades to any setting from flat to maximum pitch."

In addition to the optional Rapid Pitch feature, all Rhin-O-Tuff power trowels have a unique vibration-dampening handle that improves operator comfort, extends operating time, and reduces the risk of repetitive stress injuries.

Rhin-O-Tuff Power Trowels have been manufacturing products for the concrete industry since 2005, when they introduced the first of their line of walk-behind trowels. Rhin-O-Tuff power trowels come in two sizes—36 inches and 46 inches. The 36-inch model offers a choice of two Honda motor sizes, GX160 and GX240, while the 46-inch model comes with a GX270 or a GX340 Honda engine.

Made in the U.S.A. Rhin-O-Tuff products are developed by a team of concrete industry experts that include Marvin E. Whiteman, Jr., Tim Jaszkowiak, P.E., Nate O'Neal and Darrell Jansen.
