MILE-A-DAY SLIPFORMING - ON CURB AND GUTTER

AN AUTOMATED CURBER THAT IS 8 FT. WIDE, THAT CAN OPERATE ON ANY TYPE OF SURFACE, AND THAT CAN PAVE AS CLOSE AS 2 IN. TO OBSTACLES, SUCH AS POLES, ABUTMENTS, ETC., IS AVAILABLE. THE PAVER, POWERED BY A 100-HP CASE DIESEL, IS GUIDED BY STRINGLINE FOR SLOPE, AND GRADE, AND ALIGNMENT. THE MACHINE WAS SIDEBOARDED SO THAT THE HOPPER CAN HOLD BETWEEN 2 AND 3 CU YD OF CONCRETE, GIVING THE READY-MIX TRUCK DRIVER MORE LEEWAY TO SWING THE CHUTE AND MATCH HIS SPEED TO THAT OF THE PAVER. WITH THE CORRECT MIX, THE CURBER PAVES AT 30 FPM, UNLOADING A 10-YD MIXER IN 10 MIN.
