Gomaco Corporation

PC400 and PC600

 

The PC400 and PC600 slipform pavers are designed to pour within 2 ft. of an object and back out over what was just poured.

  • Patented floating finisher allows pouring of material within 6 in. of a previously poured curb section that is 90° to the current pour
  • Will pour over rebar, perform trench pours and below-grade pours and are tolerant of most mixes
  • Unilateral lifting of the mold and hopper controls the height of the curb
  • Rotary actuators for front steering provide 180° of movement

Pervious Concrete Head

 

The Pervious Concrete Head is a 12-ft. head attachment for the SXP (eXtreme Platform) Laser Screed.

  • Specifically designed for the placing and finishing demands of pervious concrete
  • Efficiently produces "green" parking lots, driveways and similar projects when coupled with the SXPs Trimble laser control system
  • Three-stage boom and rotating and offset head capabilities enable maximum versatility and productivity
