The CV2 Electric-Powered Flex-Shaft Drive Vibrator Motor is Multiquip’s mid-range solution for tough, daily use in medium- to high-slump concrete. Available in both 115V (CV2A) and 230V (CV2B/E) configurations, this 2 HP motor is engineered for heads up to 2-1/8" in diameter and works with FS-series flexible shafts from 3 to 21 feet. Whether for commercial contractors, rental fleets, or specialty formworkers, the CV2 is designed to operate with maximum efficiency and minimum downtime.
Key Features and Benefits
-
2 HP Cassette-Style Motor:Â Heavy-duty and optimized for high-frequency concrete vibration, the CV2 maintains optimal RPMs under demanding loads and minimizes internal friction for maximum durability and performance.
-
Quick-Disconnect Knob: Allows tool-free, rapid switch-out of flex shafts for fast transitions between sections or when swapping head diameters—maximizing daily productivity.
-
Large Vibration-Isolated Handles:Â Absorb operational shock, protect the motor housing, and increase operator comfort over long pours, reducing fatigue.
-
Flow-Through Ventilation:Â Draws air from the rear, keeping the motor cool while reducing dust and debris infiltration, extending service intervals and boosting tool lifespan.
-
Robust Strain Relief:Â Protects power cords from pull-out and premature failure, especially critical in the harshest worksite conditions.
-
UL and CSA Compliance:Â All Multiquip CV series vibrators meet the highest standards for safety and reliability in both the U.S. and Canada, giving both crews and project managers peace of mind.
-
Steel Construction and Zenoy Resin Housing:Â Tough, impact-resistant casing shrugs off demanding use, constant transport, and the rigors of everyday operation.
-
Flexible Shaft Compatibility: Pairs seamlessly with FS-series flexible shafts (3–21 ft) and steel heads from 1-3/8" to 2-1/8" for deep forms, footings, or broad slabs.

Jobsite Performance and Productivity
The CV2 flex-shaft vibrator motor is ideal for a broad range of concrete jobs, from residential driveways to commercial floors and walls. Its 2 HP motor and quick-connect system offer robust consolidation, fast setup, and easy cleaning—saving time across slab, footing, and vertical form applications. Long flexible shaft compatibility means operators can reach farther into deep forms or across wide slabs, minimizing movement and optimizing workflow.
The heavy-duty steel head options and shaft reinforcement withstand friction, wear, and concrete abrasion, while the powerful motor ensures deep, thorough vibration—even in low slump mixes or heavily reinforced forms.
