How The BT Power Trowel 36" Compares To Other Power Trowel Options
Concrete contractors evaluating walk-behind power trowels usually face this question: should I get this smaller 36" BT model for tighter jobs, the larger 46" BT model for wider coverage, or a heavy-duty trowel for bigger commercial jobs?
Here's the honest comparison:

Why The BT Power Trowel 36" Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a power trowel, it's built with a folding handle design and precision engineered gearbox, giving concrete contractors an easy-to-transport, adjustable-blade trowel for smaller residential and light commercial slabs without sacrificing the durability found in the larger BT models.
The BT90HF160 specifically addresses the needs of concrete contractors finishing smaller slabs, patios, and light commercial work who need a compact, easy-to-store trowel with reliable Honda power.
Folding Handles Made For Easy Storage And Transport. The folding handle design makes this trowel easier to store and transport between job sites than a rigid-handle model, without sacrificing the same precision engineered gearbox and adjustable spider arms found across the BT trowel line.
Built For Operator Safety And Control
The tri-tube lateral welded handle protects cables run internally while providing a body-contoured fit for added control and safety
Centrifugal and dead man stop controls provide added safety during operation
A lifting hook makes transport between job sites straightforward
Engineered For Long-Term Durability And Easy Maintenance
The chromed handle and guard ring make cleaning quick and easy after every job
A precision engineered gearbox and spider assembly are built for long service life
Accepts a wide variety of standard blades and float pans, including finish blades, combination blades, float shoes, and plastic blades
Real Savings
Standard blade and pan compatibility with many other troweling machines keeps replacement part costs predictable
A 24 month warranty on both the machine and engine reduces the risk of unexpected repair costs
Adjustable spider arms reduce wobble-related wear on the gearbox and blades over time
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Concrete contractors finishing smaller residential and light commercial slabs can't afford a trowel that's bulky to transport or wobbles out of balance. The BT Power Trowel 36" is built with a reliable Honda GX160 engine, foldable handles for easy transport, and adjustable spider arms for perfect blade balance, so it delivers a smooth finish job after job in a size that's easy to move. For anyone finishing smaller slabs or light commercial concrete on a regular basis, this is the trowel built to get it flat and level.
