DEWALT has announced the launch of DEWALT POWERSHIFT, an electrified equipment system for concrete jobsites. Designed to meet the needs of concrete professionals, the electrified line will allow users to transition away from gas-powered equipment.
The system, made up of six concrete tools, uses the same DEWALT POWERSHIFT 554 WH battery and high-speed charger across all tools. It is backed by DEWALT’s portfolio of complimentary tools, accessories and technology.
“As we kick off DEWALT’s 100th anniversary year, our guiding principle of making pros more productive holds strong with the launch of DEWALT POWERSHIFT,” said Frank Mannarino, president, power tools group, Stanley Black and Decker.
“DEWALT POWERSHIFT is launching at a time when the industry is increasingly preparing for electrification, particularly as construction sites respond to statewide legislation aimed at phasing out gas-powered tools. As part of this effort, DEWALT is providing a solution that electrifies the concrete workflow to maximize cost and time savings, while minimizing the environmental impact for the user. These user advantages are paramount to innovating in accordance with our purpose to empower Those Who Make the World.”

The DEWALT POWERSHIFT line delivers integrated connectivity with the DEWALT Site Manager app, providing users with data on asset management, tool location, utilization and safety. In addition, Converge’s AI-based platform ConcreteDNA, powered by data from DEWALT's wireless concrete sensors, interprets real-time data allowing users to observe compressive strength gain of concrete and to predict when it will reach critical strength.
Other product innovations include the TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 DXL, a new modular system made up of four 30-in. products – a worktop, two-drawer unit, deep drawer and dolly – that combine to create an organized mobile solution.
