Benefits & Features

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 mt (35,258 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

    • Mobil-trac™ undercarriage provides exceptional mobility, outstanding traction, and fast travel speeds for unmatched maneuverability around the job site
    • Counter-rotating tracks provide excellent maneuverability in tight quarters
    • Self-tensioning accumulators, center guide blocks, and rugged internal belt cables help ensure durability
    • Rubber-coated components help shed asphalt and prevent accumulation
    • Efficient track plow design pushes material away from the tracks and helps eliminate cold patches caused by track compression
