Description
The Forestwest BM730 46" Heavy-Duty Concrete Power Trowel is designed for floating, smoothing and finishing larger concrete slabs where greater surface coverage and productivity are required. Its wide 1200mm / 46" working diameter makes it particularly suitable for warehouses, factories, workshops and larger commercial concrete floors.
Powered by a 420cc 12HP petrol engine, the BM730 provides the power required to operate across larger slab areas. The 0°–15° adjustable blade pitch allows the operator to change the blade angle as the concrete progresses from initial floating through to later finishing stages.
A FREE heavdy duty steel float pan is included with the BM730. The float pan provides a large flat working surface for the initial floating stage, helping level and consolidate the concrete before the machine is used with finishing blades.
Key Features & Benefits
- FREE Heavdy Duty Steel Float Pan Included: Use the included float pan during the initial floating stage before progressing to final blade finishing.
- 46" / 1200mm Working Diameter: Wide working area provides greater surface coverage for larger concrete slabs and commercial flooring.
- 12HP Petrol Engine: 420cc petrol power supports demanding concrete floating and finishing applications.
- 0°–15° Adjustable Blade Pitch: Provides control over the blade angle as the concrete progresses through different finishing stages.
- 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.
- Steel Float Pan: Hot-rolled steel construction provides durability for repeated concrete floating applications.
- Full Blade Guard: Provides protection around the rotating blade assembly during operation.
- 6.5L Fuel Tank: Larger fuel capacity supports extended operation on larger concrete finishing jobs.
FREE Float Pan for Initial Concrete Floating
The included float pan is designed for the early power floating stage of concrete finishing. Its large flat surface distributes the machine weight over a wider area while helping flatten ridges, close surface imperfections and prepare the slab for subsequent finishing passes.
As the concrete becomes firmer, the float pan can be removed and the trowel blades used with progressively increased blade pitch to develop the final finished surface.
With its larger 46" / 1200mm working area, the BM730 is particularly suited to warehouses, factories, workshops, industrial floors and larger commercial slabs where covering more concrete with each pass can improve finishing productivity.
If manoeuvrability is more important than maximum coverage, consider the Forestwest BM729 36" Concrete Power Trowel, which also includes a FREE float pan. For smaller slabs, edges and restricted areas, see the Forestwest BM728 24" Edger Power Trowel.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the BM730 include a float pan?
Yes. A steel float pan is included FREE with the BM730.
2. What is the included float pan used for?
The float pan is used during the initial concrete floating stage to help level and consolidate the surface before progressing to final finishing with the trowel blades.
3. What is the BM730 designed for?
The BM730 is designed for larger concrete slabs where greater surface coverage is important, including warehouses, factories, workshops and commercial flooring.
4. What is the working diameter?
The BM730 has a specified 1200mm / approximately 46" working diameter.
5. Why choose a 46" power trowel?
A 46" working diameter covers more concrete with each pass than a smaller walk-behind trowel, making it particularly useful on large open slab areas.
6. Can the blade pitch be adjusted?
Yes. The blade pitch can be adjusted from 0° to 15° to suit different stages of concrete finishing.
7. What is the difference between BM729 and BM730?
The BM729 has a 36" / 950mm working diameter and 5.5HP engine for medium-sized concrete jobs. The BM730 has a larger 46" / 1200mm working diameter and 12HP engine for greater coverage across larger slabs.
