Sumitomo is offering its larger HA90C-2 paver

2714 Sumitomo is widening its asphalt paver range with the introduction of the HA90C-2 in the European market. This is designed to compete in the 9m paving class and comes in addition to the firm’s successful HA60 model, designed for the 6m class.

The HA90C-2 shares technical features with the HA60, such as the novel overlapping screed section design. It offers paving widths from 2.8-9m and can be used to pave an entire 7.5m wide, two lane road in a single pass and without the need for bolt-on screed sections.  This saves set-up time and boosts productivity.
