Wirtgen to show world premiere at World of Concrete

The slipform concrete paver will be shown in two configurations, which, thanks to the fully modular construction concept, enable the paving of monolithic concrete profiles such as curbs and berms, rectangular profiles, concrete safety barriers up to a height of 1.3m (52 in), and drainage and gutter profiles.

In the offset paving configuration, it can pave concrete slabs with a pave width of up to 2.2m (7 ft), also in combination with a Trimmer up to 2.4m (8 ft) wide. The Crosspave version can pave slabs up to a width of 3.0m (10 ft) transversely to the direction of travel of the machine. Both solutions can be controlled by the operating concept with an event-driven graphic display.

The ECO mode detects every working situation without the need for manual intervention by the operator and ensures automatic, load-optimised regulation of engine output for what Wirtgen says is, “optimum engine efficiency, maximum fuel economy, and low noise emissions.”

The operator is further assisted by the AutoPilot 2.0 control system. The two crawler units with parallelogram swing legs at the front and a laterally adjustable crawler unit at the rear enable zero-clearance installation and maximum flexibility, meaning it can be used on construction sites that demand a high degree of maneuverability and the paving of tight radii.

World of Concrete is being held in Las Vegas, US, from January 21 to 23, 2025.
