When you want to put down a great finish on any job, you might want to try Crown Construction Equipment's ScreedKing. A lot of our customers do.

The ScreedKing comes in either a 2-stroke Robin or 4-stroke Honda engine for the power you need most often. But the real key to this Most Valuable Product is its adjustable handle design that accommodates any user height in any depth of concrete. And its quick-release levers mean adjustments can be made quickly and without any tools. The operator has a better line of sight and is more comfortable in maneuvering the tool because the handlebars are wide and offset. This helps them achieve optimal results.

The “set and forget” throttle allows the operator to find the optimal RPM and lock it in place for consistent vibrations and a smooth finish.

Maintenance is quick and easy, too! The ScreedKing has no shaft to lubricate and the oversized and sealed bearing system means no maintenance and longer life. In addition, the Power Head has been designed for ease of cleaning.

So, if you’re looking for an MVP with the right stuff to “finish the job” look no further than Crown’s ScreedKing.

We know it gets pretty darn cold and blustery during these Chicago winters. Here are just a few tips that might help you and your crews work more comfortably — and profitably!

Always keep your head covered. 80% of the body’s heat escapes through the head.

Keep all extremities covered to avoid frostbite. A ski type mask works well to protect the nose and face while heavy socks and insulated boots keep the toes toasty. Gloves –like Iron Clad™ –are necessary to keep your crew “hands” working. Thermal underwear keeps, uh, well, you know, it keeps the whole body warm.

Plan your work around the weather. Check out the forecast and whenever possible schedule indoor work for the coldest, wettest and cloudiest days, leaving the drier, warmer and sunnier days open for outdoor tasks.

Treat your tools and equipment with care. They need special care during extreme weather, too! Keep them working and they’ll keep you working.

Make sure your guys are outfitted properly. Provide a checklist of suggested clothing for cold weather to your crews and you just might make one or two of them more comfortable.
