Put your company on the
Cutting Edge
of concrete floor technology!
Introduction
The Mini Screed™ C delivers the same results as our other
walk-behind Laser Screeds® and gives your crews the ability to:

Laser Screed® projects that were previously to small

Laser Screed® on lightweight metal decks

Screed small jobs with laser accuracy
Screed at a lower cost than any other conventional
method or product on the market today

The Mini Screed™ C is a small, yet powerful, self-propelled, walk-behind
Laser Screed® that’s small enough to fit in the bed of a pickup, but large
enough to tackle a wide range of jobs.
The Mini Screed™ C delivers outstanding performance slab-on-grade,
below-grade, or on virtually any type of deck.
