Company Announcement - The new line-up comprising Atlas Copco SVE/SVG-truss screed, BG-series trowels and WTS830 spreader wagon is safe, simple and light. The machines broaden the business for operators and rentals alike.

Lightweight modular screed
The SVE/SVG screed is a lightweight complement to Atlas Copco's well-known heavy-duty BT90 modular screed. SVE/SVG can handle the 25 metres wide concrete pours needed in for example tunnel-, road and exhibition hall construction. A single operator can assemble the screed without special tools.

Unlike the BT90, SVE/SVG is made especially for medium- to high slump concrete with less pulling resistance. That means Atlas Copco has designed the SVE/SVG to be lighter and more mobile, which in turn makes production more effective in the right conditions. The modular screed can be equipped with both a gasoline engine and an electric motor and is 100 percent compatible with older and still popular Tremix truss screeds, that have been part of the Atlas Copco Group for quite some time.

Safety updates for trowels
Atlas Copco introduces a brand new walk-behind trowel range. Operators can fine-tune the machines according to their needs and they are safer than ever before. The new series includes BG245 E/G, BG375 G, BG475 G and BG COMBI E with gasoline and electric propulsion.

New for the series is the centrifugal clutch available for every model with gasoline engine. The centrifugal clutch is a compliment to the well-known Quickstop solution and it is a popular choice with many customers. Atlas Copco's centrifugal clutch is probably the safest on the market to date. It is a proven solution that engages if the operator lets go of the handle by mistake or accident. This safe centrifugal clutch is guaranteed to stop the trowel within the 180°-200° range, well before the handle completes a full turn. It is also well within the new CE2015 standards. 
All new trowel models have additional safety updates. The belt cover is fitted with a secure tightening technique that means the operator can't access the belt by mistake. The blade guard rings have gone through further development to make operation even safer.

The BG375 and BG475 trowels are high capacity machines for demanding industrial floors. They are available with foldable handles in a short and long version to suit every application and operator. Handles come with vibration reduction, which means less risk of hand/arm injuries. The BG245 trowel is made for smaller areas but carries all safety features of the larger models.

Spreader wagon helps creating a perfect finish
The WTS830 is a new hand pushed wheeled topper spreader that helps create a perfect finish and can add colour to the concrete slab. The WTS830 is lighter than other comparable spreader wagons and has a mesh drum that anchors the topping to the slab and reduces dust during operation. The spreader wagon is easy to push and without engine exhaust fumes, it is safe for indoor work.
