Mauldin rolled out three new Tier 4 Final pavers at World of Asphalt, including its largest model, the 1860.
The 1860 replaces the company’s former largest paver, the 1750-C. One of the big differences between the two models is the 1860’s larger hopper size. It can handle 9.5 tons of material versus the 1750’s 7.5 tons.
Geared toward commercial applications, the larger hopper means paving more between loads, said Brandon Granger, Mauldin marketing specialist, during the show on February 12 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
Mauldin also replaced the center console gauge display, moving all controls to the two individual operator stands. Each operator stand has a 5-inch display screen. The tracks have been upgraded from 12- to 14-inch track pads for better traction.
The 1860 is powered by a 110-horsepower Cummins engine, in comparison to the 1750’s 99-horsepower Tier 3 engine.
Granger said the company produced its last Tier 3 models in January.
One thing the 1860 maintains is the company’s popular Silver 16 Screed, which is the heaviest in its class at 4,500 pounds. The weight means it can pack more material to a higher density, Granger said.
