The Makita XRV02Z is the tool-only version of the 18V LXT 8 ft. cordless concrete vibrator. The 1 in. head vibrates at 12,500 VPM for thorough consolidation in deep wall forms and columns. At 11.4 lbs., it is lighter than comparable gas units and produces no exhaust for safe use in enclosed structures. Accepts any 18V LXT battery.
Does the XRV02Z come with a battery?
No. The XRV02Z is a tool-only model. It accepts any Makita 18V LXT battery. A 5.0Ah battery (BL1850B) provides up to 41 minutes of runtime under load.
What is the vibration frequency of the XRV02Z?
The XRV02Z vibrates at 12,500 VPM, which is sufficient to consolidate fresh concrete and remove entrapped air in deep wall pours and column forms.
How does the XRV02Z differ from the XRV01Z?
The XRV02Z has an 8 ft. shaft versus the XRV01Z's 4 ft. shaft, and vibrates at 12,500 VPM versus 13,000 VPM. Both use a 1 in. head; the XRV02Z is heavier at 11.4 lbs. versus 7.7 lbs.
Is the XRV02Z safe to use indoors?
Yes. Unlike gas vibrators, the XRV02Z produces no exhaust fumes, making it suitable for enclosed parking decks, basement walls, and interior slab pours where ventilation is limited.
What concrete forms is the XRV02Z best suited for?
The 8 ft. shaft makes the XRV02Z ideal for tall wall forms, columns, grade beams, piers, and any pour requiring deep vibrator insertion. For standard slab work, the shorter XRV01Z is more maneuverable.
What batteries are compatible with the XRV02Z?
All Makita 18V LXT batteries are compatible. Two 5.0Ah batteries in rotation (one in use, one charging) provide the most efficient workflow during continuous concrete placement operations.
