Roadtec’s new material transfer vehicle delivers high efficiency
1252 Roadtec is unveiling its new MTV-1100e material transfer vehicle at CONEXPO-CON/AGG. The firm says that the new model has been designed from the ground up using experience developing MTVs combined with customer feedback.

It will not replace the existing and well-proven 2500 Shuttle Buggy, but will instead broaden the firm’s offering for the material transfer vehicle (MTV) market. The machine is being developed as an evolution of the firm’s MTV-1100e feeder model however and will not feature the remixing capability of the Shuttle Buggy. Instead it will be a simpler system designed purely as a feeder unit and this launch is intended to widen the firm’s product offering. Power comes from a 196 Cummins QSB 6.7 diesel rated at 186kW and which meets Tier 4 Final requirements. It has a 227m Triple Pitch segmented auger and offers a capacity of 451tonnes/hour.

The 21.7tonne machine also has a dual staircase that allows crew members to safely cross the paving train without risk of being between machines. The staircase also gives access to a lower working platform that gives the operator a better view of his surroundings and the ability to talk with ground crew.

  • High performance, high mobility of wheeled pavers
    February 14, 2012
    New generation wheeled pavers aimed at use in territories such as the UK, Italy, South Africa and Southern Germany are now coming to market. Pavers in these countries are often expected to be driven from one part of a site to another or for short distances, which is why the additional mobility of the wheeled machine is preferred in many instances over similarly-sized tracked models. This preference for wheeled units comes in spite of the greater stability offered by tracked machines. BOMAG, Caterpillar and
