BW Manufacturing hit the road to bring contractors a closer look at their latest innovations in surface preparation. This mobile event gave attendees a chance to see first-hand how BW equipment can help improve productivity and profitability on the jobsite.
Full Trailer, Full Experience
BW Manufacturing didn’t just show up with a few tools—they brought an entire trailer loaded with equipment, resources, and knowledge. Their roadshow stop was carefully planned, with a full product showcase designed to give contractors valuable takeaways they could apply on their next job.
Live Product Demonstrations
The main draw of the roadshow was the live demos of BW’s new surface prep machines. Attendees saw both the D-1800 Chassis and SCB-1200 Chassis in action. These machines are designed to change the way surface removal is done, offering more power, better control, and faster results on concrete.
During the demos, BW’s team showed how these machines handle tough tasks like carpet glue removal and shotblasting with efficiency. Contractors got to see for themselves how the equipment performs on real-world applications.
Equipment on Display
In addition to the chassis demos, BW also had two vacuums and two scarifiers available for attendees to check out. The BW team walked people through the features of each machine, answering questions and sharing tips on how to get the most out of the equipment.
Featured Equipment: Scarifiers, Shot Blasters & Vacuums
Other machines featured at the roadshow were the SC-9 Walk-Behind Scarifier and the SB-6 Walk-Behind Shot Blaster. These machines are designed for aggressive surface prep tasks and are built to last in demanding environments. The SC-9 makes quick work of coatings, concrete texturing, and line removal, while the SB-6 provides consistent, high-quality blasting for surface profiling.
Also on display were powerful dust control solutions like the B-202 Pulse-Bac Vacuum, built to pair perfectly with BW’s surface prep machines. This vacuum keeps your jobsite cleaner, safer, and OSHA-compliant by efficiently capturing dust during operation.
Each large chassis unit from BW comes with three interchangeable heads: a diamond grinding head, a scarifying head, and a shot blasting head. This makes their machines extremely versatile and a smart investment for contractors who need flexibility without sacrificing performance.
Hands-On Learning and Q&A
This wasn’t just a show-and-tell event. The roadshow gave contractors the chance to ask detailed questions, learn new techniques, and figure out how BW equipment can fit into their work. The focus was on helping people understand how to boost productivity, reduce downtime, and ultimately make more money with the right tools.
The BW Manufacturing Roadshow gave attendees a valuable opportunity to see top-quality surface prep equipment up close, talk directly with experts, and walk away with ideas to improve their operations. If you missed it, be on the lookout for future stops, you won’t want to miss the next one!
