More Performance and Flexibility
Powerful C4.4 engine supports increased feeder system capacity as well as hopper inserts for continuous paving
Tight 90º turning capability enables the paver to rotate and cover its tracks on a return paving pass
Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 VT screed is 2.4 m – 4.7 m (7′ 10″ – 15′ 4″) with a maximum width of 6 m (19′ 8″)
Standard paving range utilizing the the SE50 VT is 2.55 m – 5.0 m (8′ – 15′ 6″) with a maximum width of 6.77 m (22′ 3″)
Paving depths up to 300 mm (12″) supports aggregate paving applications
Transport Made Easy
Machine weight of less than 14.5 mt (32,000 lb) paver and screed combination enables easy transport on a variety of trailer types
Length of less than 5.7 m (18′ 9″) and width of 2.55 m (8′ 4″) when equipped with the SE47 VT accommodates machine transport without special permits
Length of less than 6.0 m (19′ 6″) and width of 2.55 m (8′ 4″) when equipped with the SE50 VT and folding end gates accommodates machine transport without special permits
The front-loading angle of 17º and high front bumper clearance reduces the need for additional blocking when loading onto various trailer designs
Front, middle, and rear tie-down locations make securing the paver highly efficient for quick travel to the next job site
Exceptional Mobility
Wheel undercarriage provides exceptional mobility and fast travel speeds for unmatched maneuverability around the job site
Excellent traction is delivered through the 17.5 R25 radial drive tires
Front-wheel assist option provides power to the rear set of bogie wheels for excellent performance in tough conditions
All-wheel drive option utilizes a flow divider to deliver power to both sets of front bogie wheels for additional pulling power
High ground clearance of 197 mm (7.8″) helps avoid storm drains, curbs, and other obstacles
Smooth Material Flow
Optimized hopper design with low truck entry height and short front apron enhances material flow while simplifying clean-out
Enhanced feeder system with 355 mm (14″) diameter augers provides consistent material flow across the screed for efficient flow at both narrow and wide paving widths
Confined auger chamber keeps material moving and helps eliminate stagnate patches
Independent control of each material feed sensor when utilizing a cut-off shoe, simply turn off the sensor for manual proportional feed control
More Comfort
Optional ventilation system draws fumes from the auger chamber and redirects them away from the operator for a more comfortable working environment
The single sliding console provides operation from either side of the machine for optimal visibility to curbs, edges, and transverse joints
Dual independent seats swing out 40º beyond the platform for good visibility to curbs and obstacles
Optimized height and integrated exhaust provide unobstructed visibility around the machine
Optional screed and paver mounted umbrellas offer protection from direct sunlight
Heated seat option delivers comfort in cool weather
High visibility 76 mm (3″) seat belt assists with crew safety compliance
Easy Viewing Displays
High-definition, touchscreen displays with adjustable brightness control for all types of lighting conditions, including direct sunlight
High-visibility touch screen operating display with simplified menu structures, intuitive graphics, and short-cut keys help simplify machine adjustments
Single-touch functions from main screen include screed heat, washdown system, vibratory activation, ventilation system, accessory panel
Cat® Grade Control or Basic Grade Control options available
Operating displays can be tailored to specific language requirements with multiple options available
Wash-down system includes level indication
