If you ask someone how to make a concrete patio or how to pour a concrete driveway, they’ll list off a range of equipment you’ll need.

Concrete vibrators like our top-of-the-line Hikoki UV3628DA essentially act to settle wet concrete. As concrete is poured, air gets trapped and causes a honeycomb-like texture that can compromise its finished strength. A concrete vibrator is designed to force air bubbles out of your wet concrete to help it settle. Our Hikoki UV3628DA has an internal vibrator that forces trapped air out of the mixture when inserted into wet concrete. It’s powerful, lightweight and achieves amazing results with a squeeze of a trigger. But, more on its features soon.
Top tip: At Hirepool, we’ve got loads of handy guides to do with concrete and masonry. Check out our guide on how to mix concrete perfectly every time and how to pour concrete.
There are many reasons why our Hikoki UV3628DA Concrete Vibrator is one of our most sought-after masonry equipment for hire. Its extensive range of features makes this gear perfect for settling concrete on any sized job, whether a concrete driveway or one of your wildest concrete patio ideas.
The Hikoki UV3628DA is one of the industry's most advanced and efficient vibrating tools. One of the big attractions is its incredible power. This hire equipment features two power models that allow you to choose between low speed for superior vibration and high speed for quick work. Its constant control speed can deliver a no-load speed of 12000 to 15200 vibrations a minute!
Its two-speed, brushless motor makes the Hikoki UV3628DA Concrete Vibrator so powerful. The motor ensures a long and reliable working performance with minimal need for maintenance.
When you regularly use concrete and masonry equipment, control and comfort are essential. Excess vibration on your hands and having concrete splashed on your skin are not great for your health. The Hikoki UV3628DA has an ergonomically designed handle to offer you great comfort and ease of use, no matter where you’re using it. This hire equipment also features a trigger switch with a stopper, so you can immediately stop vibration.
It’s a great ‘squeeze n’ go’ tool, or you can use the lock-on switch for continuous vibration. With a protective cover, the Hikoki UV3628DA Concrete Vibrator also helps prevent splashes that keep you and your tools dry.
What separates the Hikoki UV3628DA Concrete Vibrator from the rest is its flexible shaft, which is 28mm in diameter. This state-of-the-art vibration rod is made up of a rubber hose that attaches to a vibrating steelhead. It’s designed to expel air up to 40% faster than most other concrete vibrators out there!
