Multiquip to Introduce the MD80 and MD105 Concrete Finishers at World of Concrete 2025
Multiquip will be unveiling the MQ Whiteman MD80 and MD105 concrete finishers at the World of Concrete 2025 in Las Vegas. The eight-foot-wide MQ Whiteman MD80 is designed to produce flatter floors, minimize operator fatigue and reduce maintenance costs. Six-blade rotors deliver increased stability, and improve weight distribution, delivering a more precise finish. Operators benefit from effortless hydraulic steering, cruise control, and electric pitch, which reduces fatigue and maximizes productivity, the company said. Hydraulic drive eliminates service points and wear items reducing routine maintenance and operating costs.
The 10-foot wide MQ Whiteman MD105 is a high-production finisher engineered with a lower operating weight that reduces downward pressure on the slab surface. Contractors benefit from earlier entry onto the slab, a broader finishing window, and better adaptability for use on multi-story decks. Its unique design makes the MD105 a choice as either a stand-alone option or addition to any size fleet.
“We are excited to showcase these new MQ Whiteman ride-on trowels at the World of Concrete,” said Jordan Carmean, product manager, Multiquip. “These machines reflect our commitment to offering world-class products that help our customers do the job faster, better, safer, and more efficiently. With a focus on reducing maintenance and operator fatigue, these new concrete finishers are set to be game changers in the industry.”
Multiquip has several brands, including Mikasa, MQ Power, MQ Essick, MQ Mayco, and MQ Whiteman. For more information, visit www.multiquip.com.
The MD80 and MD105 will be available for purchase starting in January 2025, with a grand unveiling at World of Concrete, in Las Vegas.
