INDUSTRY NEWS BOMAG LAUNCHES 10-FT HIGHWAY-CLASS PAVERS WITH NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVED OPERATOR EXPERIENCE OMAG 10-ft (3.0-m) pavers now include significant upgrades to the operator’s platform, which improve visibility and the opera- tor experience. New dual swing-out op- erator stations feature BOMAG’s SIDEVIEW innovation in which the seat and console swivel outward at four differing angles to deliver unobstructed views to the sides of the paver and the screed end gates. An open-grate design on the platform floor affords the opera- tor direct-line sight of the screed spread- ing augers. The new large, 7-in (178-mm) mul- tifunction color screen display at each console provides easy viewing of critical operating functions, gauges and param- eters plus provides fault messages for quick troubleshooting at the jobsite to improve serviceability. New blade-type toggle switches, each controlling a sin- gle paver function, improve switch reli- ability. The pavers’ new sound-insulated composite engine hood delivers qui- eter paving to improve operator com- fort. The hood’s sloped design provides a clear view into the hopper from the operator’s seat. Under the hood, a 260- hp (194-kW) Tier 4 Final engine on the wheeled machine and a 225-hp (168 kW) on the tracked machine delivers ample power for full-width paving, while having enough power in reserve to operate the screed’s generator and lights for nighttime paving application. On typical applications, fuel consump- www.callape.com tion for the new highway class pavers averages less than 4 gal/hr (15.1 l/hr). BOMAG has simplified its 10-ft (3.0- m) class paver offering, reducing the number of models from four to two. Legacy CR 452 and CR 552 wheeled pavers are now replaced by the CR 1030 W paver, while the rubber track CR 462 and CR 562 pavers now bear the CR 1030 T identification. These adaptable pavers tackle a range of appli- cations from interstate and state high- way to airport, heavy industrial and large commercial projects. Cedarapids DNA Retained While closely identifying with BOMAG family of pavers, the new CR 1030 Series retains many of the legacy Cedarapids designs that have helped contractors meet mat smoothness spec- ifications and productivity goals for decades. Frame Raise and Three-Point Suspension mitigate segregation issues, improve mat quality and provide su- perior traction. The Smartrac™ system found on CR 1030 T pavers automati- cally maintains proper track tension at all times to significantly increase track life and decrease downtime. Equipped with the tried-and-true Stretch® 20 hydraulically extendible screed, these machines deliver infinite- ly variable paving widths from 10-20 ft (3.0-6.1 m) and a maximum paving width of 30-ft (9.1-m) with extensions. Electric-over-hydraulic controls provide fast, simple and accurate screed adjust- [30] ments, while the Stretch 20’s Screed Assist System eliminates screed setting to improve mat smoothness. New hose routing and wire harness designs im- prove screed system reliability in the field. BOMAG CR 1030 W Series pavers have a standard 16.7-ton (15.1-tonne) hopper capacity and the robust hop- per design delivers up to a 27-ton (24.5-tonne) capacity when equipped with an insert. The CR 1030 T Series pavers have a standard 14-ton (12.7 tonne) hopper capacity up to a 22-ton (20-tonne) capacity when equipped with an insert. These new pavers come standard with a three-year compli- mentary subscription to BOMAG Telematic.
