Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Concrete Consolidation Service
Offer on‑site vibration for small pours: deck footings, fence posts, retaining wall blocks, countertops, and precast molds. Charge per hour or per pour, include multiple heads (1-1/2–2-1/4 in.) and shaft lengths (7–21 ft.). Market the benefits: higher strength, fewer voids, better finish. The cordless backpack accesses basements, rooftops, and backyards without generators.
Precast Decor Shop (Benches, Planters, Fire Bowls)
Launch a product line of high-quality precast pieces for landscapers and homeowners. Use the vibrator to achieve consistent, void-free finishes that justify premium pricing. Batch production with quick-change heads speeds mold turnover; leverage the tool’s connectivity to track utilization and plan maintenance.
On-Demand Rental with Drop-Off and Training
Run a micro-rental service for the backpack vibrator, offering half-day/day rates. Provide a quick safety/technique tutorial, include two 554Wh batteries and head/shaft kits, and offer optional on-site operator support. Use integrated tracking to manage inventory, prevent loss, and enable app-based scheduling and location.
Rooftop/ICF Wall Specialty Subcontractor
Niche service focused on hard-to-access pours like ICF walls, columns, and elevated slabs. The 21 ft shaft and backpack format let a single operator consolidate efficiently on scaffolding. Partner with GC’s to reduce equipment needs (no cords/generators) and cut schedule time with faster placements.
Workshops and Content for Makers/Contractors
Host paid classes on proper vibration, mix design, and mold techniques (GFRC, countertops, inlays). Create tutorial videos and sell course access or sponsorships. Position the cordless system as the ideal teaching tool; include hands-on practice with different heads and forms to drive referrals and affiliate income.
Creative
Ultra-Smooth Concrete Furniture
Cast a polished concrete coffee table or bench with brass or wood inlays. Use the quick-change 1-1/2 in. head to vibrate around tight inlay edges and the longer shaft to reach across larger molds. The 12,000 VPM consolidation will minimize honeycombing, giving you crisp edges and a glass-like finish after polishing.
GFRC Planter Collection
Make a line of thin-walled GFRC planters in unique geometric molds. External vibration against the form and selective internal vibration near corners removes entrapped air without disturbing glass fibers. The lightweight backpack and adjustable controls make it easy to move around stacked molds.
Textured Stair Treads with Wood-Grain Liners
Create custom precast stair treads using wood-grain form liners. A stiffer mix holds the texture, and targeted vibration along riser and nosing areas ensures full detail transfer. Swap heads quickly to handle narrow nosings versus wider tread pans.
Concrete Countertop with Embedded Lighting
Cast a countertop that includes routed channels for LED strips and conduit. Use the vibrator to consolidate around conduits and knock out voids around sink cutouts. The cordless mobility makes it simple to work forms on sawhorses without nearby power.
Decorative Stepping Stones with Aggregate Reveal
Produce stepping stones that intentionally expose decorative aggregate or seashells. Vibrate to drive fines to the surface for a smooth back, then lightly vibrate edges to seat aggregates. After curing, grind/polish to reveal patterns with minimal pinholes.
