Features & Benefits
More Performance and Flexibility
- Powerful C4.4 engine delivers 110 kW (148 hp) of power that supports increased feeder system capacity as well as hopper inserts for continuous paving
- Tight 90 degreeturning capability enables the paver to rotate and cover tracks on a return paving pass
- Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 V screed is 2.4 m - 4.7 m (8' - 15'6") with a maximum width of 6.1 m (20')
- Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 FM screed is 2.4 m - 4.7 m (8' - 15'6") with a maximum width of 6.2 m (20' 6")
- Paving depths up to 250 mm (10") supports aggregate paving applications
Transport Made Easy
- Machine weight of less than 14.5 mt (32,000 lb) paver and screed combination enables easy transport on a variety of trailer types
- Length of less than 5.65 m (18' 6") and width of 2.6 m (8' 6") accommodates machine transport without special permits
- The front-loading angle of 17 degrees 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 paver highly efficient for quick travel to the next job site
Exceptional Mobility
- Wheel undercarriage provides exceptional mobility and fast travel speeds for unmatched maneuverability around the job site
- Excellent traction is delivered through the 14.00x20 sand-rib or 17.5 R25 radial drive tires
- Front-wheel assist option provides power to the rear set of bogie wheels for excellent performance in tough conditions
- All-wheel drive option utilizes a flow divider to deliver power to both sets of front bogie wheels for additional pulling power
- High ground clearance of 197 mm (7.8") helps avoid storm drains, curbs, and other obstacles
Smooth Material Flow
- Optimized hopper design with low truck entry height and short front apron enhances material flow while simplifying clean-out
- Enhanced feeder system 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 cold patches
- Independent control of each material feed sensor when utilizing a cut-off shoe, simply turn off the sensor for manual proportional feed control
More Comfort
- Ventilation system draws fumes from the auger chamber and redirects them away from the operator for a more comfortable working environment
- Dual independent consoles provide operation from either side of the machine for optimal visibility to curbs, edges, and transverse joints
- Dual independent seats swing out 40 degrees beyond the platform for good visibility to curbs and obstacles
- Optimized height and integrated exhaust provide unobstructed visibility around the machine
- Optional screed and paver mounted umbrellas offer protection from direct sunlight
- Heated seat option delivers comfort in cool weather
- High visibility 76 mm (3") seat belt assists with crew safety compliance
