I looked into this a while ago, looking to change from a double beam vibrating screed. Ended up going for the ubiquitous Altrad Belle machine in the end. I really wanted a magnesium beam type but Altrad don't offer that option, aluminium only. We've only used it on one project so far but it will get some stick shortly. We got three different length beams for the machine. Pleased with it so far.
