Versatile slipforming with Wirtgen

Wirtgen’s new slipformer offers high efficiency

Versatility and manoeuvrability are key features of Wirtgen’s new SP 33 concrete slipformer. This machine is available in both Offset and Crosspave versions.

The machine is built on a modular design. It can be configured for the paving of monolithic concrete profiles such as kerbs and berms, rectangular profiles, concrete safety barriers up to a height of 1.3m, and drainage and gutter profiles. In the offset paving configuration, it can pave concrete slabs with a pave width of up to 2.2m, also in combination with a Trimmer up to 2.4 m wide. The Crosspave version can pave slabs up to a width of 3m transversely to the direction of travel of the machine.

Both variants can be controlled by the firm’s innovative operating system. The ECO mode monitors working load and parameters without the need for manual intervention by the operator and ensures automatic, load-optimised regulation of engine output for optimum engine efficiency, fuel economy, and low noise.

The operator is further assisted by the AutoPilot 2.0. control system. The two crawler units at the front feature parallelogram swing legs while the machine has a laterally adjustable crawler unit at the rear. This design enables zero-clearance installation and maximum flexibility. This makes it the ideal choice for use on construction sites that demand a high degree of manoeuvrability and the paving of tight radii.

    Wirtgen is expanding its range of slipform pavers with the new SP 60 series and SP 90 series models. The SP 60 models are smaller units designed to be used in a range of applications while the larger SP 90 series suit duties such as highway or runway construction. The SP 60 models include the SP 61i, SP 62i and SP 64i and will replace the earlier SP 500 design. Power comes from a diesel delivering 180kW in Tier 4 Final/Stage IV and 155kW in Tier 3/Stage IIIA emissions ratings. The SP 64i can feature four
