MOWhat if you could replace a small gas engine with a battery motor?
In this setup we have a Makita XGT battery-powered motor on a Marshalltown power screed. Instead of dealing with gas, pull starts, and engine maintenance, this system runs on Makita’s 40V XGT batteries while still delivering the power needed for concrete work.
For tools that normally rely on small engines, this kind of setup could change how jobs get done — quieter operation, less maintenance, and no fuel to deal with.
The real question is… would you switch from gas to battery for equipment like this?
Or are gas engines still king on the jobsite?
