1.    Work more effective. The ride-on power trowel has double disc with higher power and work more effective. High efficiency is required when polishing the concrete floors. If the equipment is working slowly, the concrete floor will dry before the construction is completed. This leads to unqualified ground, and the labor costs and time are wasted. Therefore, if it is a large-scale ground polishing project, everyone has the same voice and chooses the ride-on power trowel.

The purchase of the ride-on power trowel is a one-time investment, although the initial investment is higher, it will save more money in later period.
