Allen Engineering has launched its E-Screed by Magic Screed, which can level an area four times larger with less energy compared to the conventional screeds.

The firm revealed that it uses a lithium-ion battery pack to decrease weight and give screed vibration while also managing the same energy and performance as the original Magic Screed.

The latest E-Screed’s high-frequency vibration gives uniform distribution across the whole blade length, which improves the structural integrity of the concrete by consolidation.

It has a 1.5-horsepower, 40-volt lithium-ion battery and gives 26.5 amp-hours of juice to the unit, providing vibration speeds up to 7,500 rpm and depth consolidation up to 6 inches.

The new E-Screed comes with a harness created from durable, easy-to-clean material, making it easier for the operator to handle the machine.

It has adjustable handles and a battery unit backpack adding comfort for operators working on long hours on sizable jobs. While also using Magic Screed blades from 4 to 16 ft in length with the new E-Screed.

The brushless electric motor and emissions-free power source of E-Screed decrease the maintenance tasks. It also comes with an ergonomic carrying handle, tilt-up stand and twist throttle controls.

Allen Engineering is a prime Civil Engineering and Land Surveying company, established in 1963. It provides a broad range of site development, civil engineering, and survey services.
