Slipform paver GT 3200

The GT-3200 Sidewalk Paver was born from the demand for high-volume sidewalk replacement in various areas of Canada. The versatility designed into this machine includes a trimmer to prepare the grade or an aggregate mold to place the base. The goal for this product was to design a slipform paver, with our zero clearance expertise to operate in a sidewalk lane alongside trees, power poles, and other obstacles. The long, pivoting and folding conveyor allows continuous paving while the ground person manipulates the conveyor around obstacles to receive concrete from ready-mix trucks on the nearby roadway. All-Track Steering (ATS) was added to this machine as an option for enhanced steering and job-site mobility. The GT-3200 sidewalk paver has a 508 millimeter (20 in) wide, 4.27 meter (14 ft) long folding conveyor. The conveyor allows ready-mix trucks to discharge from the street instead of driving over existing curb to reach the paver. The conveyor is operated by the ground person to manage how far the conveyor needs to be folded in order to avoid the light pole or other obstacles during paving. The conveyor is hydraulically placed back to the full 4.27 meter (14 ft) length for paving to continue. The GT-3200 above is slipforming a 2.5 meter (8.2 ft) wide sidewalk. The conveyor can be raised without being folded in order to avoid a smaller obstacle, allowing the ready-mix trucks to continue placing concrete on the GT-3200 sidewalk paver’s conveyor.
