Minnich introduces 50 CC backpack vibrator at World of Concrete

Minnich Manufacturing introduced the new 50 cc gas-powered backpack concrete vibrator at World of Concrete 2020.

Driven by a powerful Honda 50 cc motor with an ergonomically designed, fully adjustable harness, the lightweight 20.5-pound backpack concrete vibrator offers operators mobility, reliable performance, comfort, and reduced fatigue during concrete consolidation. The 50 cc unit joins the 35 cc model in the Minnich backpack vibrator lineup.

The Honda GX50 general-purpose engine expands the Minnich mini 4-stroke vibrator lineup with a model that offers high output and light weight for fuel efficiency in more demanding commercial and rental applications. Featuring a compact and lightweight design, the GX50 is the first Honda 4-stroke model in the two-horsepower class that is 360-degrees inclinable during operation and storage.

Minnich's 50 cc back pack concrete vibrator is equipped with many new features, including a removable throttle assembly which enables operators to relocate the throttle for easy and comfortable operation. All core/casings and vibrator heads are interchangeable between all Minnich gas-powered and electric flex shaft units with the true universal quick disconnect system, giving contractors equipment flexibility.

Additional benefits include easy starting, low noise, simple maintenance, superb acceleration, and low fuel and oil consumption.

Minnich also showcased two other new products at the show: the Auto Vibe CC vibrator monitoring system and new poly-coated vibrator heads.

The new Auto Vibe CC vibrator monitoring system is designed to simplify hydraulic paving vibrator monitoring during heavy highway and airport paving processes. A new, high-visibility, all-weather touch screen monitor offers easy navigation. All electrical connections feature Deutsch harness connectors for easy connections and service. The paving vibrator system is easy to install and features remote access to Minnich Manufacturing for field support.

To add protection against chipping epoxy-coated rebar, Minnich also released its poly-coated vibrator heads.
