Curb Appeal International

The PC400 and PC600 from Curb Appeal International share the following features:

  • Unilateral lifting of the mold and hopper to control the height of the curb. Only the hopper and mold move and not the frame, engine, or other components.
  • As the distance from the hopper to the front of the hood is shorter and lower, the PC400 and PC600 are the easiest machines to unload ready mix, unassisted, ever made.
  • With the engine and radiator in the back, the hopper remains cool, extending the life of the concrete in the hopper.
  • Once the pour is started, all functions are controlled from the main power switch. That means no evidence of stopping or starting in the curb itself.
  • All models are equipped with rotary actuators for front steering (180 degrees of movement).
  • By design, all units can pour within two feet of an object and back out over what was just poured.
  • A patented floating finisher, trailing the mold, allows the pouring of material within 6 inches of a previously poured curb section that is 90 degrees to the current pour (in the case of parking stalls).
  • All models make it possible for concrete to be dumped into the machine from all positions: front, left or right side, or from the back.
  • All components are chosen not just for reliability but also ease of availability worldwide.
  • All tires are silicone-filled for trouble-free service.
  • The PC400 and PC600 are equipped with auto rear steering, allowing precise tight turns and reversing down the string line.
  • All models will pour over rebar, do trench pours and below-grade pours, and are tolerant of most mixes, from pea gravel to 3/4 inch rock.
