| GT-3600 slipform paver  GOMACO's GT-3600 is one of the most versatile, dependable and high-production curb and gutter machines with job-proven results throughout the world. The machine is designed with state-of-the-art technology and multiple features. The three-track GT-3600 is a multi-application trimmer/slipform paver. Applications for this machine include curb and gutter, tight radius, cul-de-sacs, safety barrier, bridge parapet, sidewalk, recreational paths and flat slabs up to 10 ft. (3.05 m) wide. The GT-3600 features GOMACO's patented simultaneous trim/pour concept. The unique design, multiple sensoring, and GOMACO G21 digital operating system allow the GT-3600 to automatically slipform a tight radius.A major consideration in design is quick and easy job-to-job mobility. The GT-3600 will transport at 8 ft. 2.5 in. (2.5 m) or 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) wide with sensor arm mounted. The transport length is 16 ft. 2 in. (4.93 m) and the height is 8 ft. (2.44 m) without trimmer or 9 ft. (2.74 m) with trimmer mounted. The GOMACO GT-3600 is carefully designed with safety features to give years of dependable and safe service. Emergency stop buttons are located on strategic areas of the machine. The E-Stops are on the operator's console and at strategic points on the machine providing optimal use for specific applications. Other safety features include track guards, warning decals, an operator's manual, and a safety manual. GOMACO machines are also designed to provide safety with the machine operator having maximum visibility over the entire paving operation. A two-foot (610 mm) radius ribbon curb is accomplished with standard features like the unique machine design, operator station visibility, GOMACO G21 digital operating system, hopper, trimmerhead, mold positioning, multiple sensoring and three-track versatility. The GT-3600 is designed to eliminate guesswork and automatically adjusts trajectory in and out of a tight radius. The GT-3600 is equipped with three steer sensors. One sensor is located at the front of the mold (sensor 1); one is located at the front of the stainless (sensor 2); and one is aligned with the back of the stainless (sensor 3). As the GT-3600 enters the radius, the operator switches from (sensor 1) to (sensor 2) with a toggle switch. The mold on the GT-3600 is strategically positioned to assure perfect placement of the concrete through a radius. Also important for a tight radius are travel speed, mix design and slump of concrete. The hopper on the GT-3600 is designed for extra concrete capacity. Loading the hopper full with the 15 ft. (4.6 m) long, 24 in. (610 mm) wide charging conveyor prior to going into the radius allows continuous travel through the radius without waiting for concrete delivery. The GT-3600 features GOMACO's patented simultaneous trim/pour concept. This system cuts production costs and lets you take on more jobs. The trimmerhead is designed to match the profile to provide accurate grade, resulting in high concrete yield. The versatile three-track GT-3600 achieves high production and meets accurate slipforming specifications on radius projects ranging from curb and gutter to barrier wall or safety parapet. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
