 Multiquip's one-man DuoScreed feasts on even the toughest concrete work.

 The DuoScreed sports a unique blade profile that enables just one operator to strike off concrete floors. The unit is well suited to a variety of jobs such as sidewalks, driveways, pathways and decks. The DuoScreed features an integrated lifting bar that is now part of the control handle. The unit's vibratory action embeds aggregate and reduces air voids producing a dense slab while eliminating the strenuous, time consuming labor associated with manual screeding.

The DuoScreed's advanced blade, which reverses in seconds without tools, allows one side to be used for standard form-to-form screeding while the other is utilized for wet screeding. Blades are available in widths up to 20 feet  and each is constructed with extruded aluminum alloy for maximum durability and lightweight operation.

The new DuoScreed features a maintenance-free flexible drive shaft, ergonomic finger-tip throttle control for easy screed speed adjustment, portable design for simple storage and transportation, a height-adjustable control handle, and shock mounts to minimize operator fatigue.

The unit is powered by a four-stroke, 1.5-horsepower Honda GX31 gasoline engine. The power unit weighs only 32 pounds.
