BG Pavers offers its BGP 308 wheeled paver with either a tamper bar of vibratory screed

UK firm 2526 BG Pavers continues to develop its paver range with the latest generation models now featuring low emission diesels that meet European requirements

The new BGP 308 wheeled paver features power from a JCB diesel rated at 63kW and a spokesperson for the firm said, “It’s a good engine for us,” adding that both the fuel consumption and servicing costs are comparatively low. The machine offers a production rate of up to 280tonnes/hour while the screed extends hydraulically from 2-4m, with a maximum 5m possible using bolt-on extensions. Weighing in at 8.8tonnes with its V20-40 screed, the machine features a 9.5tonne capacity hopper and is aimed at urban road applications where its mobility and versatility are required. Customers can opt for either a single tamper bar or a vibratory screed as required and the machine offers paving depths of up to 250mm. When paving, the machine operates at speeds of 0-68m/min while it can move at 0-11km/h when moving from one working area to another.

The company has also revised its diminutive C4 model, which can pave depths from 0-130mm and is powered by a Deutz diesel. The V10-25 vibratory screed offers paving widths from 1-2.5m, with the option of 250mm bolt-on extensions for either side to take the width to 3m. Paving speeds range from 0-20m/min while travel speeds are from 0-3.2km/h and this compact machine is designed for use in sites with tight space constraints.

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr

    At the BICES exhibition in Beijing, it was clear that the Chinese construction market has bounced back - Mike Woof writes. Demand for construction machines is now improving in China once more, with the backlog of unsold or nearly new secondhand units having been absorbed. This was apparent at the recent BICES construction machinery exhibition held in Beijing, where firms were more bullish than in previous years.

    Sumitomo is offering a series of special pavers, in addition to its conventional units. The modified machines are aimed at a range of specific applications and are based on the standard models. The HTP60W is a tack coat paver based on the standard HA60W model. The machine has the firm’s J- Screed with electric heating as standard and allowing hydraulic extension from 2.3-6m, while compaction is by tamper and vibration. The spraybars allow tack coats to be applied to the full paving width.
