UK company 2297 Aggregate Industries is now using a Super 1302-2 model paver from 1194 Vögele for on the island of Guernsey. The company's Guernsey subsidiary Ronez is using the machine for maintaining the island's narrow lanes as well as other paving duties. 2298 Ronez has three machines on the island, a 1m unit for trench works, a 2m paver for smaller pavements and a 2.5m machine for roads. When the 2m machine came up for replacement, Ronez opted for the compact Super 1302-2 as it suits work on the island's narrow roads. The machine has an electric hydraulic screed that can be quickly adjusted to suit the varying paving widths needed, and the machine also offers a tight turning circle, allowing it to operate in confined spaces.
