A remote controlled vibration imparting device for a concrete finishing tool includes a case that attaches to a float using standard bolt layouts. A motor housing is suspended in and attached to the case, and the motor housing partly surrounds a vibrator with a support, a rotor with a shaft and weighted body, a bi-directional motor, and a coupler between the shaft and the motor. Also in the case are a variable speed controller and a remote switch, both of which are electrically connected to the motor and a battery located on or in the case. The case further includes a removable lid that attaches to a concrete finishing tool.

A concrete vibrator adapter preferably includes an adapter housing, a drive shaft and at least one rotary bearing. The adapter housing preferably includes a bearing bore formed in one end and a shaft hole formed through a bottom of the bearing bore. A ring thread is formed on an outer diameter of the adapter housing at a bore end to threadably receive a threaded retention ring of a vibrator cable. The drive shaft preferably includes a bearing portion, an input portion and an output portion. The bearing portion includes a first bearing diameter, a bearing flange and a second bearing diameter. The first bearing diameter receives a first bearing and the second bearing diameter receives a second bearing. The input portion extends outward from the second bearing diameter. The output portion extends outward from the first bearing diameter.

A machine for removing formwork from underneath a concrete slab includes a wheeled base movable on and supported at a support structure, a raisable and lowerable structure disposed on the wheeled base, and a formwork-removal device attached to the raisable and lowerable structure. The formwork-removal device includes (i) an arm extending from the raisable and lowerable structure and (ii) at least one pneumatic gripper disposed at a distal end of the arm. With the raisable and lowerable structure adjusted to position the pneumatic gripper under the formwork and engaged with the formwork, and when the pneumatic gripper is activated, the pneumatic gripper applies a suction to secure the formwork at the pneumatic gripper. With the formwork secured at the pneumatic gripper, and when the pneumatic gripper is lowered, the pneumatic gripper applies a separating force to the formwork to remove the formwork from the concrete slab.

A remote controlled vibration imparting device for a concrete finishing tool uses a housing having a chamber surrounded by an inner surface of the housing. A vibrator with a support, a rotor with a shaft and weighted body, a motor, and a resilient link between the shaft and the motor is positioned within the housing chamber. The vibrator also includes a resilient band to separate the vibrator from the housing inner surface. First and second adaptors are employed for the housing to be placed between the handle and the terminus of a concrete finishing tool.
