Novatek 28XC5AL 5 Ft Aluminum Long Reach Scaler — Full Reach, Lighter Barrel
The 28XC5AL is a 5-foot air-powered chisel and scraper scaler built on an aluminum barrel. The 5-foot length puts the working tip on high walls and overhead steel while the operator stays on the floor; the aluminum construction cuts weight against the steel version so crews can hold the tool to walls and ceilings longer between breaks. Chisel tips and scraper blades swap on the same body in seconds.
Why Crews Run the 28XC5AL
Aluminum is the weight trade-off in the Long Reach line: lighter than the steel 28XC5ST for sustained overhead and wall work, where carrying a 5-foot barrel above shoulder height is the limiting factor. The reach and attachment range match the steel unit.
- Reach high walls and overhead steel from the floor — no ladder, no scaffold to descale a beam
- Lighter aluminum barrel holds to walls and ceilings longer than the steel version
- Drives chisel tips at 2,200 blows per minute for rust, scale, and bonded coatings
- Swap between 1″, 2″, and 4″ chisels and 4″, 8″, and 12″ scraper blades on one body
- Strip vinyl flooring, ceramic tile, thin-set, and mastic with the scraper attachment
- Runs on 5 SCFM from a portable compressor
28XC5AL Applications and Environments
Marine deck and bulkhead descaling, warehouse and factory floor coating removal, overhead structural steel maintenance, and ceiling or high-wall tile and coating stripping. The aluminum barrel suits jobs where the tool is held overhead or against walls for extended runs.
