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.
