Toro Adds Line of Concrete and Masonry Equipment

Toro is pleased to introduce its new line of specialized concrete and masonry equipment. Toro's new line was developed through the company's acquisition of products from Stone Construction Equipment, Inc., and utilizes trusted designs and quality to offer concrete mixers, mortar mixers, power trowels, concrete vibrators, screeds and concrete working tools. These new products join Toro's expanded product offerings to the construction and rental industries.

"Toro continues to look for ways to expand its product lines for professional contractors and rental operations," explains Anna Foster, rental product marketing manager for Toro. "Through recent acquisitions, we are able to deliver even more quality products with the service and parts support that customers expect from Toro."

With a batch capacity range of 2-12 cu. ft., Toro's extensive line of concrete mixers offers a model for every application. From the portable electric models, like the CM-250E, to a heavy-duty diesel CM-1258Y, there are eight Toro concrete mixers to choose from. Convenient operator features, such as the easy-access cowl design and heavy-duty paddles, axles, gear rings, and more ensure lasting durability on all concrete mixers. Each model is supported with a heavy-duty frame and exclusive features for improved job-site productivity and enhanced operator control.

Toro has nine models of mortar mixers with a batch capacity range of 6-12 cu. ft., to fit every mixing need. From the large multi-point bag splitter to the drum latch that can be operated with a knee, Toro mortar mixers raise the bar for ease of use. The mortar mixer line-up offers both gas and electric models for any job. The Toro MMX mixer offers a heavy-duty design with patented features that create more paddle contact with the mortar for a faster, higher quality result.

Toro power trowels feature contoured adjustable handles and a rotating stabilizing ring for precise handling that will deliver a smooth concrete finish. There are four models to choose from and each comes equipped with a Honda® engine. The Toro Dyna-Clutch™ safety feature is incorporated into each unit and will stop the blade without shutting down the engine. The PT-36PP and PT-46PP feature Toro's patented Pro-Pitch™ blade adjustment system that provides smooth, quick pitch changes to ensure blades are at the optimal angle for a perfect finish.

The Toro MB-1600 Mud Buggy offers versatility and flexibility to any task. Its compact size and maneuverability allow the operator to dump material in tough to reach areas, and its capacity to hold up to 16 cubic-feet of material and travels up to 7 mph to increase productivity. The patented operator platform, featuring an oversized brake pedal and dual-action dump pedal that returns the tub to hauling position, improves safety and efficiency by allowing the operator to keep their hands on the operating bar.

Powerful and lightweight, perfect to tackle smaller jobs, Toro concrete vibrators feature a quick-connect system that provides fast and easy flex-shaft changeability. With five models to choose from, operators can select electric handheld or gas-powered backpack models. Also, Toro offers a variety of flex-shaft and assembly head options to help contractors find the right tool to deliver a smooth concrete finish.

Toro offers four models of finishing screeds for low slump and high slump applications. With a beam length range of 4-30 ft., each model has an adjustable handle and is equipped with a Honda engine. The VS-70 and VS-80 have a patented equilateral triangle bar that enables the operator to cut, consolidate, compact, and smooth concrete without build-up. These screeds are designed for superior performance in low slump, stiff concrete applications, and feature a T-bar handle to enhance operator control and maneuverability. The VS-400 and VS-800 models easily clamp to 2" x 6" or 2" x 8" beams to offer heavy-duty performance to consolidate concrete surfaces.
