The Power Curber 7700 is a multipurpose slipform machine that is designed for a wide variety of both offset applications and paving up to 6m wide. Like the other machines from Power Curbers, it is as easy to operate as it is said to be highly versatile.

The machine is aimed at contractors who carry out a wide variety of jobs, including road paving or offset applications like barrier and variable barrier, bridge parapet, ditches, and more. The machine’s flexibility means it can handle custom designs for all applications, such as tunnel work.

In paving mode, the 7700 features hydraulic sides, edge overbuild, and crowning capabilities. Optional features include a tamper bar, auger or plow, and finishers.

The 7700 features a fully hydraulic telescoping frame that makes it simple to switch from paving to offset mode, as well as the Simple Steer Track Positioning System, which aligns all four crawlers for switching modes. It is also stringless capable, so contractors can use it with 3D/GPS machine controls.
