Upgrades to 206 Dynapac's Racoon+ poker drive include rubber protection against shocks and prevent the drive unit's body from being in direct contact with dust, helping to protect the electric motor. This flex shaft concrete vibrator is a complete high frequency vibration system eminently suited for daily operation on small and medium sites for applications such as walls, floors and pre-cast fabrication.

The Racoon+ features a quick connection device between the drive unit and the flexible shaft so that the operator can change the shaft easily. The unit is powered through a 5m electric cable and has a 1.5kW drive unit operating at 12,000rpm, with a range of pokers heads from 21-59mm in diameter. The drive unit has a durable ergonomic, polycarbonate fibre-clad case fitted with a built-in handle. Other features include an overload protection function integrated in the on/off switch shutting off the drive unit and an automatic cut-out that automatically stops the drive unit when completely worn out, preventing damage to the electric motor.
