Key Features and Field Advantages
-
1.25” (32mm) Steel Head & 8.2’ (2.5m) Shaft: Offers a solid balance of area influence and ability to adapt to most slab and form conditions, providing robust vibration for slump conditions of 3" or more.
-
Lightweight Aluminum Motor Case: Weighs just 6.4 lbs (2.9kg) for the motor and 3.08 lbs (1.4kg) for the shaft/head, drastically reducing fatigue and making overhead, wall, or multistage use much easier.
-
120V Universal, Double-Insulated Motor: Delivers 280W and operates with a draw of just 3.8A—compatible with most portable site generators or household 120V circuits, meaning truly plug-and-go operation in almost any environment.
-
Vibration-Dampening Handle: Ergonomic grip mitigates hand/arm fatigue, especially important for continuous or repetitive use on foundations, paving, or upright forms.
-
Sealed Fan-Cooled Operation: Internal sealed fan minimizes airborne dust and extends motor life, supporting reliable use in harsh construction or concrete environments.
-
Maintenance-Friendly Build: With a sealed double-insulated motor and simple shaft/head assembly, ongoing service is straightforward, keeping crews on schedule.
-
Amplitude & Frequency: Delivers up to 0.075 in (1.9 mm) amplitude and 12,000–15,500 vibrations per minute (200–258 Hz), outperforming lower-frequency competitors for quick, thorough void reduction and mix consolidation.

Real-World Performance & Use Cases
The MGX13225 delivers a robust vibrating radius of up to 8 inches (203mm) and supports head insertion spacing of up to 12 inches (305mm), accelerating workflow and ensuring uniformity in most pour profiles. Best suited for:
-
Flatwork: sidewalks, patios, garage and basement slabs
-
Wall forms, piers, columns, and grade beams
-
Foundations and stem walls (residential and light commercial)
-
Construction and renovation projects with 120V access

-
Tough Construction: The die-cast aluminum housing, sealed motor, and steel vibration head guarantee long service life even with repetitive exposure to dust, water, and vibration.
-
No Ground Required: Double-insulated electrical design enhances site safety and simplifies setup, avoiding the need for specialist power circuits or grounding.
-
Vibration-Reducing Handle: Protects against common operator fatigue and jobsite strain injuries, making extended pours much more manageable.
-
Minimal User Maintenance: Clean fan inlets, quick cord inspection, and an occasional replacement of brushes are all that’s needed for years of robust service.
Accessory and Upgrade Options
-
Spare shaft/head sets for extended use
-
Carrying/storage case for rental fleets
-
Compatible extension cords (rated for outdoor/pro-concrete tools)
