Two New Husqvarna Power Trowels Just Landed at RINO Rents
If you've got concrete to finish, we've got some good news: RINO Rents just added two brand-new Husqvarna power trowels to the fleet a 36" CT 36 8A-V and a 48" CT 48 13A-V. Both are variable-speed machines, which means better control over the float and finish, and both are ready to rent now.
Here's a quick rundown of each machine and which one is the right call for your next pour.
CT 36 8A-V => The Do-It-All Trowel
The CT 36 is our go-to recommendation for most residential and light-commercial jobs. At 36" wide and roughly 8 hp, it's easy to maneuver, easy to transport, and versatile enough to handle:
- Garage slabs
- Sidewalks and patios
- Driveways
- Home additions
- Smaller commercial pours
- Repair and patch work
What sets this machine apart from a standard fixed-speed trowel is its 25–200 RPM variable blade speed with a CVT clutch. That range lets you run low and slow for the initial float, then ramp up for a hard, smooth burnish — all on one machine, without swapping blades or trowels mid-job.
Best for: contractors who want one reliable trowel that can handle almost anything on a typical job site, without the bulk of a larger machine.
CT 48 13A-V => The Heavy Hitter
Need to cover more ground, faster? The CT 48 13A-V steps up to a 48" pan and about 13 hp of power. That extra footprint means more square footage covered per pass — a real time-saver on medium-to-large slabs where production speed matters.
Like its smaller sibling, the 13A-V is a variable-speed model, giving you the same flexibility to dial in the right RPM for floating versus finishing. The added horsepower also means the machine won't bog down as the concrete firms up, even on tougher pours.
Best for: larger residential foundations, commercial slabs, and any job where you want to finish a big pour in fewer passes.
Which One Should You Rent?
| If your job is... | Rent this |
|---|---|
| A driveway, garage, patio, or sidewalk | CT 36 8A-V |
| A large slab, big foundation, or commercial pour | CT 48 13A-V |
| Not sure yet / mixed-size jobs | Either works the 48" can usually handle smaller jobs too, just with less finesse in tight spaces |
Both machines' variable-speed control is a big upgrade over basic fixed-speed trowels you get a wider RPM range for floating at low speeds and burnishing at high speeds, which means a better finish with less guesswork.
