Bartell Global: an excellent product offering, visionary leadership, and a culture rooted in our heritage of resilience, optimism, and the determination it took for a war-weary generation to build a prosperous legacy.

At just 728lbs, and very compact dimensions, this unit can be transported with ease and placed on a slab very early in the process. Great for getting into tight areas and for use where stickups are present. The BXR 836 is also great for multi-story applications due to its ease of hoisting. With its low profile, this unit gives the best sight-line of the slab and you can feel the concrete as it progresses in its finish transition. Also, a perfect jump to riding, for those currently only walking.
