Engineered to meet the demands of rental professionals and contractors alike, the 501H delivers unmatched productivity, simplified maintenance, and superior user ergonomics.
Key enhancements designed for rental professionals:
- Superior vibration and concrete compaction: Featuring an extra-rigid, double-triangular magnesium bar, the 501H ensures consistent vibration transmission for even concrete compaction and uniform cream levels, minimizing variability across the slab.
- Quick-change clamp system: The innovative clamp system eliminates traditional bolt-based attachments, reducing wear and tear on screed bars. Captured hardware enables fast, tool-free assembly and disassembly, streamlining cleanup and transport—perfect for rental fleets.
- Reduced hand-arm vibration: MBW’s patented mount retention system allows for low durometer isolators, reducing hand-arm vibration by 50-90% compared to competing models. This enhances operator comfort and meets strict safety standards, an important consideration for rental customers.
- Enhanced durability: High-pressure aluminum die-cast components replace older sand castings, offering superior precision and durability. The die-cast, e-coated aluminum frame is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, ensuring a long service life in rental environments.
- Improved ergonomics: Redesigned lifting handles, including a taller main handle above the engine and a new front lifting handle, improve balance, transport, and operator comfort. A convenient kickstand deploys without bending, with integrated tool storage for added efficiency.
- Maintenance-free design: The sealed exciter with oversized bearings requires zero maintenance, while durable rubber isolators reduce upkeep costs—ideal for high-turnover rental inventory.
- Versatile operation: Compatible with both magnesium and aluminum screed bars, the 501H can be used with or without forms, accommodating a wide range of job site conditions.
- Flexible blade options: Magnesium bars available in 2-foot increments from 4 feet to 18 feet in length. Aluminum bars come in 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-foot lengths. For 18-foot applications, dual power units are recommended.
- Reliable power: Equipped with the trusted Honda GX35 4-stroke engine, known for reliability and ease of service.
