D-1800-FT4 Surface Preparation Chassis Overview

The D-1800-FT4 from BW Manufacturing is a heavy-duty ride-on surface preparation chassis built for high-output jobsites. Its standout capability is flexibility—it’s compatible with three powerful attachments: the BH-18 Shot Blaster, SC-16 Scarifier, and DG-50 Diamond Grinder/Polisher. Instead of hauling around separate machines, contractors can use one chassis for all three applications by simply swapping the working heads.

Key Features and Customer Benefits

Attachment Flexibility

The D-1800-FT4 was designed to adapt quickly. Operators can switch between surface prep methods without switching machines. Whether you're shot blasting one day or diamond grinding the next, this chassis handles the transition with ease. It helps minimize equipment needs while keeping crews productive.

Hydraulic Dumping Dust Bin

This machine includes a hydraulic lifting dust bin that streamlines cleanup. Instead of manually handling heavy debris trays, operators can lift and dump the bin at the push of a button. It speeds up waste removal and cuts down on downtime between tasks.

Operator Comfort and Control

The ride-on design keeps operators comfortable on long projects. All the machine's controls are easy to reach and simple to use. From the seated position, the operator has full visibility and access to adjust functions or stop the machine quickly if needed. This reduces operator fatigue and supports better productivity over long shifts.

Heavy-Duty Construction

The D-1800-FT4 is built to handle demanding prep jobs. Its rugged frame and hydraulic systems are designed for years of reliable use across shot blasting, scarifying, and grinding tasks. Whether you're working in a warehouse, on a bridge deck, or prepping concrete for coatings, this chassis holds up.

Efficient All-in-One Investment

For contractors looking to reduce their equipment footprint and maximize ROI, the D-1800-FT4 is a smart investment. Instead of maintaining three separate machines, you get a single platform with the flexibility to run multiple tools. That means fewer maintenance schedules, less training, and more versatility on every job.

Attachment Breakdown

BH-18 Shot Blaster

The BH-18 is a powerful shot-blast head designed for fast material removal and surface texturing. It’s ideal for prepping concrete for coatings, removing paint or markings, and cleaning up contaminated surfaces. When paired with the D-1800-FT4 chassis, it delivers consistent results with high square-foot coverage per hour. The closed-loop dust system helps keep the work area clean and compliant.

SC-16 Scarifier

The SC-16 attachment provides aggressive surface removal for thicker coatings, overlays, or uneven slabs. It uses rotating cutting shafts to chip and plane the surface, making it a solid choice for prepping concrete before overlays or removing trip hazards. On the D-1800-FT4 chassis, the SC-16 covers large areas quickly while staying easy to control and maneuver.

DG-50 Diamond Grinder/Polisher

The DG-50 brings high-torque grinding and polishing capabilities to the D-1800-FT4 platform. This attachment is built for flattening concrete, removing adhesives or epoxy, and polishing surfaces to a desired finish. With adjustable grinding pressure and diamond tooling compatibility, the DG-50 offers precision and performance across a wide range of floor prep jobs.

Why the D-1800-FT4 Matters

The D-1800-FT4 makes it easier for contractors to take on multiple prep tasks without increasing labor or equipment costs. From high-volume blasting to fine surface polishing, this machine handles it all. It's built to last, easy to operate, and gives your crew more flexibility on the job. Whether you specialize in coatings, restoration, or slab resurfacing, the D-1800-FT4 gives you the performance and adaptability to stay competitive.
