More Performance and Flexibility
- Powerful C4.4 engine supports increased feeder system capacity as well as hopper inserts for continuous paving
- Tight 90º turning capability enables the paver to rotate and cover tracks on a return paving pass
- Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 VT screed is 2.4 m - 4.7 m (7' 10" - 15' 4") with a maximum width of 6.0 m (19' 8")
- Standard paving range utilizing the the SE50 VT is 2.55 m - 5.0 m (8' 4" - 16' 4") with a maximum width of 7.64 m (25')
- Paving depths up to 300 mm (12") supports aggregate paving applications
Transport Made Easy
- Paver and screed combination weight of 16.3 mt (35,926 lb) enables easy transport on a variety of trailer types
- Length of less than 5.72 m (18' 9") and width of 2.55 m (8' 4") when equipped with the SE47 VT accommodates machine transport without special permits
- Length of less than 6.0 m (19' 6") and width of 2.55 m (8' 4") when equipped with the SE50 VT and folding end gates accommodates machine transport without special permits
- The front-loading angle of 15º and high front bumper clearance reduces the need for additional blocking when loading onto various trailer designs
- Front, middle, and rear tie-down locations make securing the load efficient for quick travel to the next job site
Exceptional Mobility
- Steel track undercarriage provides outstanding traction, and fast travel speeds for unmatched maneuverability around the job site
- Counter-rotating tracks provide excellent maneuverability in tight quarters
- Automatic track tensioning system, double carrier rollers and track guide plates help ensure the tracks are properly aligned and tensioned to provide smooth travel
- Triple grouser track shoes with profiled polyurethane pads provide strength and durability while also delivering smooth travel and minimal base disturbance on uneven surfaces
- Efficient track plow design pushes material away from the tracks and helps eliminate density variations caused by track compression
Smooth Material Flow
- Low truck entry height and short front apron enhance material flow while simplifying clean out
- Feeder system design with 355 mm (14") diameter augers provides consistent material flow across the screed for efficient flow at both narrow and wide paving widths
- Confined auger chamber keeps material moving and helps eliminate stagnate patches
- Independent control of each material feed sensor when utilizing a cut-off shoe, simply turn off the sensor for proportional feed system control
More Comfort
- Optional ventilation system draws fumes from the auger chamber and redirects them away from the operator for a more comfortable working environment
- The single sliding console provides operation from either side of the machine for optimal visibility to curbs, edges, and transverse joints
- Dual independent seats swing-out 40º beyond the platform for good visibility to curbs and obstacles Optimized height and integrated exhaust provide unobstructed visibility around the machine
