| Small Super 800 Paver made by Voegele  Voegele presented new small Super 800 Paver for the construction of small roads and pathways. The machine is specially suited to minor contracts, in addition to small roadways and paths, the paver is also ideal for garden and landscaping applications. It can be used to handle jobs which so far had to be done by hand, offering the advantages of higher pavement quality and economical working. In the sector of small roadways and paths, Super 800 can be used to pave asphalt surfacings in inner-city areas, on jobs where things get really tight as well as for cycle paths, footpaths or farm track applications.In the garden and landscaping sector, the small machine does a very good job when it comes to paving asphalt or water-bound surfacing on golf course areas or park grounds. Another ideal challenge in this field is placing base of crushed stone, chippings, sand or recycled material for pathways or sett paved areas. The small Super 800 for versatile use features a basic width of 1.1m. Pave width is infinitely variable between 1.1 and 2m and can be increased to a maximum of 3.2m by addition of bolt-on extensions. Smaller widths, of course, are possible as well. By fitting cut-off shoes, the pave width can be reduced to 50cm. This way, machine-based pavement repairs after backfilling trenches or ducts are possible without any problem. The paver's size for paving and transport perfectly fits the 'small equipment category'. With a track width of just 1.1m and a clearance width of no more than 1.2m, the Super 800 easily passes through narrow gates or entrances for indoor applications in factory halls or on industrial areas, sites commonly rather difficult to access with normal construction machinery. The small paver can be easily trucked on a 2-axle trailer. The Super 800 comes with a modern Deutz engine rated at 42KW featuring ECO Mode. Highly effective noise absorption permits application even in noise sensitive environments such as residential areas or in close vincinity to hospitals. With ECO Mode selected, the paver's noise levels are further decreased. When operating in ECO Mode, the paver's fuel consumption is very low. The Super 800's controls and operating elements are clearly and logically arranged, thus allowing the machine to be operated very intuitively. This was often confirmed by staff, for instance, of contractors carrying out garden or landscaping contracts, who were very little or not experienced at all in the handling of pavers before coming across the Voegele Super 800. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
