The BGA range of Flexible Shaft Vibrating Pokers are high-frequency pokers intended for working concrete. They have a high vibration
output and low service and maintenance costs. Each poker is designed according to the pendulum principle : low rotation speed of the
À exible shaft and high frequency in the vibrator tube. This result in maximum capacity and minimum wear. The BGA range of Flexible
Shaft Vibrating Pokers suit all construction sites operating with electric, petrol or diesel drive-units. They are provided with a 5 metre
À exible shaft.
