Product Information
Full details
The Altrad Belle Megavib+ Poker Head is designed for professional concrete contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts who require precise compaction for small-volume projects. Its primary benefit is the high-frequency vibration delivery that ensures concrete is properly settled and void-free, though users should note this is a specialized component that requires the compatible Megavib+ hand-held poker system to function. With a durable 36mm design and lightweight build, it serves as an essential tool for achieving professional-grade concrete finishes in confined or hard-to-reach areas.

FAQs
Can I use this head with other brands of poker systems?
No, this component is specifically engineered for the Altrad Belle Megavib+ hand-held system.
What is the recommended immersion depth?
You should immerse the poker deep enough into the concrete to achieve compaction without striking the formwork directly.
How often should I clean the poker head?
The poker head should be cleaned immediately after every use to prevent concrete from hardening on the casing.
Is this head suitable for deep foundation work?
No, the 36mm size is intended for small-volume applications and small pours, not deep structural foundation work.
Does the head require internal lubrication?
The unit is designed for maintenance-free operation, but you should always keep the exterior clean and check for structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Poker head failing to vibrate
Check the connection between the poker head and the flexible shaft to ensure it is fully tightened and engaged.
Reduced performance or dull vibration
Inspect the head for dried concrete buildup or internal debris and ensure the Megavib+ drive unit is operating at full speed.

- Lightweight and easy to handle

- Compact 36mm size ideal for small volumes
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, ensure your Megavib+ drive unit is powered off. Align the threaded connection of the 36mm poker head with the flexible shaft coupling of the Megavib+ system and tighten securely. Always inspect the poker head for cracks or excessive wear before each use to ensure it remains sealed against moisture. After use, it is critical to clean the head thoroughly with water; concrete residue left to harden can interfere with the internal vibration mechanism. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the internal components.
