Doosan Infracore Portable Power

The WT Series of walk-behind trowels is designed to work on a variety of applications, including driveways, floors, foundations, concrete patch repairs, sidewalks, walkways and slabs. Doosan offers nine trowel models from 24 to 48 inches in diameter. Each unit is equipped with a Honda two-cycle engine — from a 4-hp engine on the WT24 to a 13-hp engine on the WT48DA. In addition, the WT-Series features a clutch designed to stop blade rotation independent of the engine to eliminate runaway trowels. Plus, this feature allows the operator to get the engine up to desired rpm before engaging the blades.
