Description
The Forestwest BM730 46" Concrete Power Trowel is the largest walk-behind power float in the Forestwest range, designed for efficient concrete finishing across large slabs, warehouses, factories, workshops and commercial or industrial flooring projects.
Powered by a 420cc 12HP Loncin petrol engine, the BM730 combines substantial power with a large 1200mm (46") working diameter to maximise surface coverage on larger concrete pours. Compared with smaller 24" and 36" machines, the wider working area reduces the number of passes required across open slab areas.
The 0°–15° adjustable blade pitch allows the operator to change blade angle throughout the finishing process, while a centrifugal safety shut-off is designed to stop the engine if control is lost. Hardened steel blades, a Q345 hot-rolled steel float pan and full blade guard complete a durable walk-behind system for demanding concrete finishing work.
Key Features & Benefits
- 46" Large Working Diameter: The 1200mm working area provides the greatest surface coverage in the Forestwest walk-behind power trowel range.
- Designed for Large Slabs: Suitable for warehouses, factories, workshops, large commercial slabs and other open concrete floor areas.
- 12HP Loncin Petrol Engine: 420cc engine provides increased power for the larger 46" rotating assembly.
- High Surface Productivity: Larger working diameter allows more concrete to be covered with each pass compared with smaller power trowels.
- 0°–15° Adjustable Blade Pitch: Provides control over blade angle as concrete progresses through the finishing process.
- Centrifugal Safety Shut-Off: Automatically stops the engine if operator control of the machine is lost.
- Quick-Change Blade System: Compatible with hardened steel and tempered spring steel blades for different finishing requirements.
- Q345 Steel Float Pan: Hot-rolled steel construction is designed for durability under repeated job-site use.
- Full Blade Guard: Provides protection around the rotating blade assembly during operation.
- 6.5L Fuel Tank: Larger fuel capacity supports longer operating periods on large concrete finishing jobs.
If manoeuvrability is more important than maximum coverage, the BM729 36" Concrete Power Trowel provides a more compact all-round option. For edges and smaller areas, consider the BM728 24" Edger Power Trowel.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the BM730 designed for?
The BM730 is designed for finishing larger concrete slabs where high surface coverage and productivity are important, including warehouses, factories, workshops and commercial flooring.
2. What is the working diameter?
The BM730 has a specified 1200mm, or approximately 46", disc diameter.
3. Why choose a 46" power trowel?
A larger working diameter covers more concrete with each pass, making it more efficient on large open slab areas than smaller walk-behind trowels.
4. BM729 or BM730?
The BM729 offers greater manoeuvrability with its 36" working diameter, while the BM730 provides a larger 46" working area and 12HP engine for larger concrete projects.
5. Can the blade angle be adjusted?
Yes. The blade pitch is adjustable from 0° to 15° to suit different stages of finishing.
6. Does BM730 have a safety shut-off?
Yes. A centrifugal safety switch is designed to stop the engine if control of the machine is lost.
7. What blades can be used?
The BM730 is compatible with hardened steel and tempered spring steel blades.
8. Is a concrete power float the same as a power trowel?
Yes. “Power float” is another commonly used term for a walk-behind concrete power trowel used to smooth and finish concrete surfaces.
