Graco GrindLazer Standard DC89-G Gas Powered Concrete Scarifier
The Graco GrindLazer Standard DC89-G Gas Powered Scarifier is a professional walk-behind concrete scarifier engineered for aggressive surface preparation, concrete profiling, coating removal, pavement maintenance, and industrial floor restoration. Powered by the dependable Honda GX270 commercial-grade gasoline engine, the DC89-G combines exceptional cutting performance, precise depth control, and rugged construction to tackle demanding concrete preparation projects in commercial, industrial, municipal, and infrastructure environments.
Designed for contractors who require consistent productivity and durability, the GrindLazer Standard Series produces the proper Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) needed for epoxy coatings, overlays, waterproofing systems, decorative concrete applications, and concrete repair materials. Whether removing thermoplastic traffic markings, eliminating trip hazards, preparing warehouse floors, or restoring parking structures, the DC89-G provides outstanding control, long service life, and professional-grade results.
Unlike conventional grinders that rely on diamond abrasion, the GrindLazer scarifies by mechanically impacting the concrete surface with rotating cutter assemblies. This process quickly removes coatings, roughens surfaces, levels imperfections, and prepares substrates for superior coating adhesion while maintaining high production rates.
